I called the social worker yesterday to follow up with this incident.

She explained that these people are "behavioral nurses" and not equipped to give psychotherapy. I wish my doc had known this. He did not. He thought this outfit was giving counseling, but actually it was only behavioral nursing, someone comes over just to check you vitals, your meds, and your symptoms.

And I do not need that kind of care; I am not homebound either. all I needed was someone to talk to once a week. But I guess I will be okay.

D it! D it all!

and I believe that many (not all) nurses are codependent and do not have very good self-care skills; many have been conditioned in their upbringing and in their line of work to care care and care and burn out. I do not need to give them codependency therapy! I need help and they need to be there for me! But they don't know how.

I have decided to ask for a discharge from the program

thanks,
