Ok, so here goes:

It's beginning to feel like spring and for the last 3 springs, I've had major depression, sometimes with slightly psyhotic elements (just feeling like things aren't real all the time). I get hypomanic in each autumn, it's very cyclical for me.

I'm now starting to hate again my former psychiatrist, who put me on both Venlafaxine and Mirtazapine (SNRI) - he never saw my bipolar disorder, so he mis-medicated me. I guess that is a normal story for many of us?

BUT then he was really mean afterwards, like after 2 years of consulting him A LOT, I tell him someone else diagnosed me as bipolar (I don't know why he didn't see my hypomania, or thought it was weird I was always depressed in spring). NOW HE HAS NOT EVEN APOLOGIZED AND HE ACTS LIKE HE DIAGNOSED ME AS BIPOLAR.

He won't apologize and just told me to: "come by his office if I needed help again"). (Ew, no thanks - the Mirtazapine and Venlafaxine put me in a mixed state etc.). He's so arrogant and won't come of his high horse, I want to complain about it to the medical system. But then, I heard that it might end up with them telling him: "It's okay to make a mistake" - doctors have the right to do that.

What do you do with your anger towards bad practitioners? I could also write about it on the internet and tag his name a lot..

I AM SOOOO ANGRY, he could have killed me 3 times with his treatment and when I was first psychotically depressed he didn't give me medication.

Please, everyone. share your story.
