((((((((B&B)))))))))...I'm so sorry you had such a rotten experience. Don't give up. Next time, if it is too big a place and overwhelming, just walk out. There are scads of psychiatrists out there. Maybe choose one in private practice, google her, then google earth her office. You'll be able to tell alot from that.

I just switched Drs and was overwhelmed by the size of the building he worked in. I just kept asking questions at every desk, even though I felt and must have sounded dense.
I liked him, and will go back ONLY for that reason.

Good idea to ask the counselor for help...I bet she can refer you to someone who meets your needs.
