Happy With New Tdoc

LoddyAoddylo

...except I have a problem,my older sister always asks me what my tdocs and I talk about,if I tell her "That's private" she gets mad and stops talking to me. She doesn't see (or doesn't want to see) that she is the closest person in the world to me and I love her very much,so naturally I'm going to be talking about her. It's clear to me that she'll be asking me what Amy and I talk about on a regular basis,and I don't know what to tell her.

Its such a good feeling to find a tdoc that you like. Sorry to hear that your sister doesn't understand the confidentiality that you have between you and tdoc though. I imagine that that can be rather frustrating.

Hi Loddy,

Great to hear you have found a tdoc that is helpful to you that's great! I have had similar problems with family members. Sounds like your sister could benefit from seeing a therapist for her anger issues:)

Oh, Loddy! First, I'm so happy you like you're new tdoc! Second, tell your sister it's private and none of her business - she'll accept it in time, I think! (((Hugs)))

Glad it's going well! As for your sisters questions, just tell her you're learning ways to deal with stress and anxiety and managing your illness! That's what I tell family that asks....I keep it vague, and it's the truth too!

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
