I am sorry you are feeling she is dismissive. If you felt she was taking you more seriously, what do you think she would do? Maybe you could try discussing it with her?

While I did not feel dismissed from my pdoc, I felt that maybe he did not understand the severity of my situation when I was in a mixed episode because I felt unstable and unsafe with myself. I won't go into too much detail because I do not want to say anything triggering, but there were pretty much nonstop thoughts that were dangerous to be having. One time after a very bad weekend he said if I ever got in that state again to call 911, but overall he never really mentioned more intensive treatment and that made me question if I was really that bad off. I never really showed up at his office a complete mess or anything, so maybe I just seemed rational and together to him? I am not sure.
