My pdoc saw me today. My therapist and her talked before she left for vacation. Seems like instead of therapy, I have moved on to psycho therapy. MY therapist is not doing a great job! So, instead of loosing hers, she passed me on to outpatient services. I complained once to TGC, that she was putting out subpar therapy! I told them that instead of saying, I understand how bad you feel, you should talk to your pdoc about that. I got. Your mania/depression whatever I was feeling at the time, is only a passing phase. You're just having a rough spot. One therapy session she said that about my extreme paranoia, and the next time she said that durning my suicidal tendencies! Anyhow, she told my proc to pass me on to outpatient, because she understood I was feeling worse than her capabilities as a therapist. Last time I HATED group therapy, because someone always told group therapy they were jealous of the people who were in a great recovery. I always beamed my happy face to that lady, and told her you are how you feel. Well, she didn't like my in your face therapy advice at all! I always told her that she needed to think happier thoughts, and she wasn't havin the fact that I was doing well in school and feelin well. Immediately said. I've been in a gloomy depression for the past three months, don't feel very well, and am jealous of the people who are happier than I. WTF?! Boy, did I look at her after she said that with a look at wtf are you jealous of me for?! Needless to say, she decided she wasn't going to outpatient on days I went. Anyhow, I'd love to hear more people talk about how great group therapy is! I am mandated by my pdoc to take six weeks of it! Anyhow, I really don't want to go, but my pdoc gave me a script and told me my tdoc didn't want to see me anymore, because she felt she was underqualified with my agitated bipoplar so, any thoughts??

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I think we get out of therapy what we want to, and I must've done ok because I haven't been in a group (not counting online) for 8 or 9 years now.
