Then he asked what kind, and I said bad ones but I didn't elaborate because it really didn't matter if he knew. He stopped everything he was doing, and looked up at me like I grew three heads. Then he basically told me that it WAS weird and that normal people DON'T do that. But we ran out of time right at that moment and he said we would discuss adjusting stuff next week when I see him again. Now I feel like I'm totally weird and wrong for doing it again.

I feel like he totally undid everything T did. I don't know if I believe T or if he was just trying to make me feel better about it? Pdoc is always straight forward about things. Now I'm unsure who is right about this issue. Why do they see this oppositely? Pdoc put enough doubt in my head to believe I'm all screwed up for doing this now.
You have the power to decide whether you are going to go down that path again...and I hope you choose not to.

I have many of those types of thoughts...and I too have been told they are quite common for even the "normal" folks. With my limited experience with pdocs, I'm not surprised that your pdoc said something like that. That's why I have greater faith in my T who is more invested in this type of stuff - rather than a pdoc that focuses on meds to take care of "symptoms". But that's just me.
