I had been seeing my FNP for a couple of years. She knew I was in a really bad place so she wanted me to see both a therapist and a psychiatrist. FNP had been trying to do it all but I am so sensitive to meds and she knew there was so many layers to my issues. I kept refusing both because I work in the psych hospital in our area and wanted nothing to do with seeing anybody there. She had a person she worked with for years at a hospital and talked to her anonymously about me. FNP told me this person was the only T she would trust to work with me. So eventually I broke down and started seeing T.
