Wow, this one flew *cough*

I really like my pdoc. She has taken a very aggressive approach with my treatment. She even goes as far as ending our session by hugging me.

I like some CPNs that I met.One was a real magnificent angel.
Had a few incompetent and racist bastards.....Bona Fide racism too.

I have been very fortunate to have good pdocs. I have only had two in my life and they have been wonderful and saved my life many times. However, therapists are different. I have had some that just werent experienced enough to handle my situation. I learned to ask questions and explore at the first appt whether or not they had enough experience with my disorder. The one I have now, I have had for 15 years off and on. She is wonderful and has helped me grow tremendously. I have learned to stand on my own and always move forward from my experiences. As I look back I can tell you which ones were duds and which ones actually encouraged me through my journey to be the best I can be.

I've had brilliant pdoc's & one really slow on the uptake one who made dumb mistakes. live and learn, blah blah.

Had a GP tell me Bipolar doesn't exist.While I was still shaking and stuff from the meds.All I wanted was some Chlorpromazine.Wanker

Had one tell me I was schizophrenic, he'd 'seen it before' *rolls eyes* ^%$%%head.

They fuck with you when they don't know if yr BP1 or schizo affective.Many painful drugs enter you and beat on you.
I'm a drama queen.It helps.

I spent all of 1 hr with Pdcos in 15 years. They don't know shit.

wow, orb, that's so different from here..I see mine an hour a week.

Been through a lot of therapists and Pdocs in my life. Some have been horrible, some have been ok. The therapist I have had for 5 years now is wonderful! The Pdoc I've been seeing for 4.5 years is kind, caring and very knowledgeable. But he and his receptionist aren't very good at getting back to me - pisses me off to no end! Oh but, he's been busy with his old High School sweetheart - going back and forth from WA state to Cape Cod to see her. Now he's engaged! WTF?? Is that your excuse or are you just so f**kin' happy you have to share?!! Yeah, hubby and I were stunned with that one! Midlife crisis I suppose!
I see therapist every other week (every week in crisis). And, see Pdoc every 3 months unless need him more often.

IMO, it's difficult to find a PDOC who knows his shit AND is caring. I've got one. I'll try to stay...although I haven't gotten a return call from receptionist or him in a week! Blah. Can't win em all I suppose!

I see mine for 15v mins every three months.
Sometimes I forget to see him.He gets sulky and strops.

15 mins every 3 months.

Longest has been 45 mins when talking about meds change

I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist. My psychologist is the most wonderful person. I trust her and she has really opened my eyes to some things about myself. I was seeing her for an hour a week but I now see her an hour every second week.

My psychiatrist pisses me off. All I want to do is yell at him! He doesn't care, has no respect for me and always cuts our sessions short. I see him for half an hour every second week but I'm currently on a waiting list to see a different pdoc. Hes purely to monitor my medication.

I got a new one and watched him go through 6 patients in 20 minutes (I timed it)
