I've known about the retirement for like 8 months and should have had time to adjust, but my final appointment is in a week and I'm starting to panic. I'm Bipolar 1 with a nice mix of anxiety, eating issues, alcoholism, etc... I've been seeing him since 2003. He got me through my major manic episode and got me functioning and back to work. He has referred me to both a therapist to talk and a nurse practician for meds. But he's the only person who understands me and my bipolar.

I'm scared: What if I have another episode? What if my meds need tweaking? What if I can't handle this?
