thank you.

I am glad someone posted.

I agree about not all docs being this way.

In fact, the only reason I went to that new pdoc was that. I knew that I didn't know that pdoc yet and he/she might be okay. So I went, instead of completely cancelling the appt's.

Also, I want to work on dealing with ppl who may act like they don't like me. Getting along with different kinds of people is a DBT skill, I think, under "Relationship effectiveness" or "Interpersonal Skills". I am finding that much of my discomfort is from dealing with flashbacks from dealing with abusers adn ppl who did not understand and were mean to me. Sitting still with this...

I also realize that my post title may be misleading. "played the system and got meds". Maybe that sounded like I was manipulating the doc to get drugs. I was not! Hopefully the people that did look beyond this title and read on did not think that of me.

I do not do that.

I am not a drug addict nor do I abuse sleeping pills.

But my title could have lead you to believe I did.

ty to those who have read on and replied.
