I always thought that was cowardice. To refuse help because I was too much for her was hurtful, especially since I really liked her and thought we had a connection. I was only 16. Anyway, it sucks!

I feel you. I felt a bit insulted though I didn't have a great connection with her, and I also know she did it for good reason. She had very little experience with bipolar and gave me an antidepressant that made me wildly manic on my starter dose (2.5 mgs) within oh about two hours. I texted her to ask her if that was normal and she freaked out. She replied that it absolutely wasn't normal and that she was in over her head. After that I frolicked very dangerously into the night. She said she would help me find a new doc and she didn't. That was the worst part. Luckily I had a good friend who could help, but I felt deserted.
