A while ago I got upset by her not telling me about an important side effect, weight gain, and I also got upset because I now have tried several meds and I began to feel hopelessness. I e-mailed my Pdoc about this and she seemed fine, she apologized for not having mentioned the side effect and I just e-mailed her back saying that I appreciated her answer.
But when I later on met her to talk to her in a meeting she showed what she really thinks about me. She has several times said that Iīm a sensitive person in a negative way and she also said that SHE hadnīt reacted the way I did about the fact that she didnīt mention the side effects. You could say she uses "shaming" as a way to blame me for not succeeding with the meds.
Also, we have for some months had follow-ups around the meds through e-mail and she has earlier on written "hello" and "regards" and given comments about what Iīve told her about the current medication. In the latest e-mail she just wrote "Thanks for your answer". She didnīt even say "hello" or anything.
As before and as Iīm within public health care I donīt have many options to see another Pdoc and as I already noticed how she reacted to me saying I was disappointed that the meds donīt work and that she didnīt told me about the side effect I donīt see itīs of much use to bring this to discussion.
I donīt see a good solution to all this.

Is it maybe possible that you have projected all this onto her? So she forgot to write "hello" and "regards" in the email, that may just be because she didn't have much time to respond to you or that may be a coincidence. That doesn't seem to me to be a sign that she doesn't like you. Also are you sure she's actually blaming you about the meds or is your interpretation of what happened? Sometimes we misinterpret things.
