So a perpetual mixed state that is, at its best, mild.
I left the session with not good thoughts about myself or my life.

I’m sorry your session left you not feeling so good.....
First thing I want to point out. Your Pdoc hasn’t been so great at listening to you, you have yet to find a medication that helps and you can tolerate side effects.
Yes baseline can change so I just don’t understand her giving you her “ opinion” I mean you just haven’t found it yet ....
I would be bothered /mad / upset/ annoyed and well pissed the way she left it.
Few years ago there was a member that kinda had a Pdoc like yours. She had trouble finding the right med(s) anyway she posted a thread about how she just had to “ Accept “ that this was as good as it will get.
Well reading it broke my heart and I was furious. My reply was .....
So you are just going to sit back and allow some idiot to decide what’s “ the best your going to have??? “ I said take your disappointment and turn it into some anger , don’t accept crumbs.... go grab the whole cake !
She disappeared... I wondered for a long while what happened. Just over a year later I got a PM from her out of the blue and she told me that my words brought back her will to fight and she was doing so much better...
So Beth ... I say the same to you. Get mad and prove that bytch wrong !!! She does not control how your life will be... She is a “ tool” just like coping skills , sleep hygiene , mindfulness diet , exercise all the ways that you work to feel better..
Get mad
