A person writes 3 messages in their post, you respond to one thing, and seem to pass over, discount the goodness of the other two things. There is a lot of stuff here for you to go back and absorb, or to take to T, as Squiggle did.

The looking for "proof" is sounding a little paranoid, or just very high anxiety? Maybe that's where you are, and we need to accept that. I don't remember ever discussing medications - do you have a pdoc? You know I am saying this with great affection for you.
I need evidence because the t I just quit with would never acknowledge she was wrong or mistaken. Often it was like we had been in two different universes. I would ask what she had meant about x and she would respond she never said x. Or she would insist I had said something I knew I would never have said. With a tape of it, we would know. Listening to the tape would either help me see she did not say whatever was upsetting me or would make it so she could not act like I was making something up. Me writing stuff down would not help prove or convince the t what occurred at the appointment (the info that she was denying) ever happened. I know this because I do take notes after each appointment and it did not help the t remember or believe me.
I do not take meds. I do not go to mds. I do not have this problem with anyone but the t. I only respond to what I think needs a response.

I know some people do record their appointments. I just wondered if it helped them or why they did it.
