I'm glad you found a pdoc who is strong enought to be straigh forward with you. I'm really proud of you, that you decided to stay and get the help you needed. I wish I would have been so lucky. My first therapist scared me and not in a helpful way - I went backwards instead of going forwards with him; my first psychiatrist never talked to me, I did all the talking and she just kept prescribing drugs. My present pdoc is very streight forward in a gentle way, took me off most of the dugs and reduced my dosages of two med of the 4 meds I was taking. This sight was Heaven Sent! I believe it's saving my life - it gives me a place to talk, vent, and even offer help to those who are in need. If I feel I can't help I offer encouragement. I'm go happy that you have a pdoc you can trust!
