So I guess I'd say that I feel somewhat lost. This is especially true since having to do telehealth.
I feel the same way-
Lost at the end of pdoc sessions bc I feel she doesn’t fully understand and that I didn’t explain well enough. But grateful that she makes med changes when needed.

I used to always feel worse after therapy appointments so I stopped sessions when covid hit and feel it was the right decision for me. My therapist didn’t get “it.”

I feel great after my care manager appointments (who kinda acts as therapist). I feel like she has a better understanding of the depth of my symptoms. And I know she will help advocate for me.
