Dear Dr. S,

I called and talked to MH advice line with my network to try to get out of network referral so that I have better coverage with you. It was so unpleasant to talk to this person on the phone about why I see you, what makes you special, how long I've had blah, what are my symptoms that meet that criteria, and yes, the fun and lovely suicide assessment.

How do you say, hey, yeah I'm still in need of you, without sounding like I need hospitalization ... all the while I'm thinking... Please don't take my "mommy" away. Yes, transference alive and well.

love you, 15 mins
