I just went to see a psychiatrist (separate from my T) to get some meds. He asked me about personal history for about 45 minutes. It was exhausting and I felt like he really didn't get me. But I know that doesn't matter, I felt reassured about how much he seemed to know about medication. He just seemed to point out some obvious things with some pat advice which left me triggered into that, "yeah, what is my problem??" sort of place. I'm having serious trouble with work issues and he basically said, "you should just get a job." That made me feel kind of low, like why do you think I'm in therapy in the first place? He wasn't very good at the talk part but I feel confident in his ability as a pdoc. I just wish I hadn't gotten so triggered. I am seeing my regular T soon. I guess I'll tell her a bit about it. She recommended him, so maybe she'll agree he doesn't have the best "bed-side" (or is it couch-side?) manner.
