Thank you, fern

I think that I will avoid discussing this topic with my psychiatrist for a while. He is a caring and highly competent doctor, but he's not meant to be my therapist. I have a psychologist that I see weekly for that. But my pdoc is one of my greatest supports. He's like a father figure to me. He is far more supportive than my real father. If/when we make the move, I will miss my psychiatrist more than my father. I actually see him more often than I see my father. I want to see him more than my father.

My husband believes that my psychiatrist doesn't wish to see me leave. Perhaps that plays into this a little bit. After knowing a person so well for over 13 years (especially him me), it's tough. Somewhere here I wrote that I'm trying to "lower my dose of him". I need to be weaned off, gradually.
