Is your pdoc also your therapist? I can't remember.

Since this wasn't a medical issue, probably he wasn't the person to call. Generally, pdocs really don't deal with therapisty-type issues. They want to be called for medication issues, severe symptoms that probably require a decision about hospitalization, etc., but not for issues that are better suited for your therapist. The only time my pdoc was really available for therapy-type support was on those rare occasions that my therapist was completely unavailable (like on vacation not available) and we had made arrangements prior for pdoc to be his back-up.

Usually, it was talk to the therapist first. If, in talking to my therapist, we decided what ailed me might require medical intervention like a medication adjustment, etc., that was when I picked the phone to contact my pdoc.
