I could say "Okay, let me write down what you are asking me to consider, so I can be clear what you are advising me to think about." Kind of like the way, in parliamentary procedure, things start off with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. So we can say, "Okay, where did we leave off, and where do we need to pick up the conversation." Otherwise it all seem so random, and directionless. And they DO FORGET what they have said. And I forget.

Sorry you are struggling right now. I can see how that would be difficult constantly getting new Pdocs.
I think your idea of finding peer support is wonderful - especially if you can't find a therapist. Talking has been so helpful for me.
And I agree that your idea of writing stuff down is good. I do that with my t - sometimes just a few notes on a little sheet of paper, sometimes a fully written out piece I can just read. It helps assure me I will say what I feel I need to say even if I get caught up in the emotions.
