luckily he said that me getting only 30 minutes of therapy a month isnt enough. he said i should be getting 2 times a month if not every week.
My psychiatrist increased my haldol recently as well. Bah! :/

A Beautiful Mind is a good movie, I finally watched it the other day and wow... it was powerful.

I hope your therapist situation gets sorted out, you deserve as much support as you need!
Thanks for this!
