Starting all over again - I recently changed from a pdoc who also did therapy to a therapist and a separate pdoc.

For the therapist - I wrote a fairly extensive background of major events that happened in my life and emailed it to him. You may want to start writting some of it now. I saved it in case I ever find that I need to change or need to explain it to someone else. It got us up to speed in a very short period of time

Don't worry about being new and not knowing any one - just post a thread or reply when you want to ... as you do I think you will feel less as an outsider. I generally hang out in the Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, SI, Personality, and Relationship forums. As you read you will probably feel drawn to certain forums that work for you.

Talk to your therapist about the meds - a lot of them take a while to work and others it takes awhile to find the correct dosage...

Post again!
