MY LAST SESSION WITH THIS DR PISSED ME OFF. WHEN I TOLD HER I WASN'T FEELING ANY BETTER AND THAT I WAS DEPRESSED ABOUT NOT HAVING A FAMILY, SHE SUGGESTED I INITIATE CONTACT WITH MY ESTRANGED FAMILY. AND I TOLD HER WE HAVE TRIED THAT IN THE PAST AND PEOPLE JUST MIGRATE TO THEIR OWN CIRCLES.THEN SHE KEEPS PRESSING ME TO MAKE CONTACT AND I TELL HER NO IT DOESN'T WORK. THEN THIS BITCH STARTS SIGHING AND ACTING AGGRAVATED, BUT THE SIGHING IS WHAT TICKED ME OFF. BITCH YOU ARE A DR AND YOU ARE GETTING FRUSTRATED AFTER SEEING ME 3X. FUCK YOU

I mean how dare they?? And then you feel helpless cause you don't want to go looking for another DR and try to get an appointment and so forth. I was really enraged after that session, she was so unprofessional and smug. Then she asked me why I was getting angry. BITCH STFU

I'm so sorry you have such a negative experience since I'm so blessed with mine. She listens intently, we both make treatment disicions and always returns my phone calls on the same day. If this pdoc is treating you so badly, I would consider looking for another one. As a mental health provider myself I feel ashamed of our profession when I hear stories like yours. Working in psyche involves infinite patience and compassion.

i had a dr that wanted me to join a day group. i didn't want to. each time i went in he and my theripist and my case worker was on me about it. it finally got so bad my doc said he could do nothing else for me that i would never get any better. i found another dr and i like him much better.

I walked out on my last visit!
He was speechless. I pretty much told him he was bullshit!
My friend went back to get my prescription.
( i had to have the meds still of course) He uped them since then.

But my pdoc doesn't know bologna about what its like to b on the other side of desk.

My pdoc is supposively bipolar also. He is from Spain and talks REALLY fast with an accent. Last visit I told him I didn't want any antidepressants for fear of making me manic and rapid cycling. So while he was on his cell phone (yes he takes calls during sessions) he sent me out with samples of Lexapro... Is he pushing drugs on me? I'm confused about him and about to seek another one. I think you should too Seekingpeace.

Seeking, I wish you hadgone ahead and spent about an hour and a half telling her what you were realy pissed about. sometimes you have to let go and tell it like it is. Most pdr. don't know what it is like to be a pt. They don't have a clue what it is like to take the meds and deal with the side affects which most of the time are as bad if not worse than the illness itself. How will they know if we don't tell them. And if they don't realy care then you realy do need to find a new doc. Okiegirl

That's VERY unprofessional of her to sigh and show her aggrevation like that. Yeah, I agree...FCK HER! Maybe you should find a new doc, or at least, tell her how bad it makes you feel when she does that. She has no right. She's better trained than that and knows better. Let her know that!

You know I'm so tired of changing drs. Sick of the bull and the ignorant remarks like they are astonished that the meds don't work. she even asked if I was taking my meds. bish

There are things about my pdoc that irritate me too but I have been seeing him for 18 years and he has literally saved my life. I imagine they get frustrated too, they are seeing many many patients and trying to find the right road for them. I am sorry your experience wasnt good but consider all you can do is listen and decide for yourself if it is something you think will help. She will get over herself. Be well my friend and look for what gives you peace. You will find it. (((((HUGS)))))

You gotta keep on looking.Keep on going.
Forget all their bullshit and don't give them more space to make you even more confused and agitated.
These docs are not the ones that are hurting by you being ill.
You have to keep on.Just express your concerns to the next one.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
