I wouldn't accept being pushed out the door. I know that I am so much better than when I started with therapy but like I told my psychologist this week, I need someone to check in with & to be able to talk through things when they come up, someone who is totally unbiased. Also said that I wouldn't want to discuss some of these things with my friends because I wouldn't want to dump my problems on them or burden them with listening to the things that I am integrating on my own & then checking in once a month with my psychologist.

I don't have a pdoc because I don't take meds but honestly, with your DX....just because they find you stable now, it's so easy for some chemical imbalance to happen & you would be back needing help with med adjustment or worse end up in the psych hospital because you don't have the help you need.

Your PCP is wise to refuse providing psych meds. They have no knowledge of them or how they interact. That would be a huge mistake. Just because this clinic is tight on the help they need to provide for your care, you of all their patients should NOT be brushed off. They should be looking & deciding by Dx, not by how stable one is at the moment even if you have been stable for quite awhile. Hallucinations & paranoia are nothing to take lightly just because you aren't dealing with them at this time.....it's important to keep them monitored & have a place where close monitoring is available if the need does arise.

Don't let them push you out the door under the guise of being "caught in the system". It's their lack of appropriate staffing that is causing the problem, not the fact that you are "stuck in the system"
