By the way, I realize the primary gist of your thread is about this pdoc's attitude and approach - and I think Innerzone nailed it in terms of a great way to respond after you're set up at a new clinic.

I hope my support of what I think mindfulness can accomplish didn't sound like I was minimizing your primary frustration - and I hope it didn't come off like I think you don't know what would work best for you. I hate when that happens to me, and rereading my response I'm a little worried it might sound like that.

Also, I'm really sorry your music isn't flowing within right now. Loss of creativity, whether due to medication or the normal ebbs & flows of BP, is really demoralizing. I hope you get it back soon...
