My previous GP kept asking "when" I would stop taking an antipsychotic. That's how little she knew about psychiatric conditions.
I know that GPs mean well, but I really think you ought to find a specialist and get their opinion.  |
Yeah, I understand this. And I'll get to that in a sec. But do you mind explaining what you meant with the "when" statement? I don't really understand that part.

So I heard back from my GP this morning and he told me he supports me finding a therapist and a psychiatrist. (I forgot to mention it here last night, but when hubby refused the meeting, I said "then maybe I should just talk to a therapist and a psychiatrist myself, if I'm apparently the one with the problem in this relationship". I don't think he heard me though....and I fear pushback if I say it again. I'll try to work up the courage, but the other issue is finding someone good and I worry about that being more and more difficult when everything is closed down. Sigh! I'm just really struggling lately, but that's ok. I mean, I guess everyone else has their own problems so I'll leave folks alone again.
