So I took the dive and called our local psych center. As many of you know my T wants me to do a day program because I have been quite unstable the last month or two because of my bipolar disorder. I called and they seem nice. The program is Mon-Fri 8am-2pm. I dont have to go everyday.

Here is the HUGE problem...in order to be accepted I have to drop my current therapist and pdoc. (so medicaid doesn't get double billed) I have a huge attachment to my T. I have seen him 2x a week for nine months. I also have a huge attachment to pdoc. I have seen him sometimes once a week for almost 2 years. He saw me for free for over a year, when I lost my insurance. The intake guy said if I have a good theraputic relationship then I should consider not doing the day program. BUT at the same time thats what T wants for me right now.

I don't know what to do. I don't think I could ever drop my T or pdoc for the day program. What should I do???
