Mine is moving office, but cannot accept me as a patient at her new office. We had some instability in our schedule which I felt we had started to sort out, then two weeks later I get the letter that she's leaving. Not happy about it. However it may be for the best. She is a psychiatrist and I do not feel I've neccessarily needed a psychiatry level of care so to speak for about a year. I continued because she was a good therapist as well and it worked for us. But as she has been transitioning to this new office (part time at both places) I see a shift in her treatment paradigm. She is much more quick on the drugs than she used to be, less holistic in her approach. I feel it's because of her time crunch between the 2 offices, she is going for the ready answer. I may be wrong but that's how I'm seeing it with a little bit of emotional distance. I hope for her and her patient's sake that with being at one office again she settles back into her more holistic approach (of course continuing to prescribe when needed).

So yeah...she was becoming for me a psychiatrist with a splash of therapy where in the past she was my therapist who had the ability to manage my meds as well. I do not need a psychiatrist at this time. So I think it is time to draw our relationship to a close anyway. It still hurts and sucks though, not gonna lie. I don't know that I'm doing anything to deal with it (well I've noticed I've been drinking a bit more) but it's also not something that is a constant, so I guess I don't know how or what to do with it. It sucks, I'm going to miss her, and she'll likely forget me in a few months or years and life will move forward.
