My most recent psychiatrist I’ve been seeing for like seven months because I had lost my work insurance and my APRN wasn’t able to see me.

Literally every single session I talked about how I had lost my job and how it was affecting my mood. I had a session with him today, and I mention the fact that I had gotten my job back. He was like oh you lost your job.

To add insult to injury while I was switching back from one insurance to my work insurance I had a little bit of a gap so I didn’t have enough medicine so I was trying to use less of it so I could stretch it further for a month. He said that I should have called him and let him know that so that he could’ve tried to help me. This was the same guy that three months ago when I told him I was losing state insurance Told me that if I had to cancel my last appointment just let him know without offering any guidance whatsoever on how to safely taper off medication or how to get meds when losing insurance.

So after my session today I called my APRN let her know I got my job back and now I have an appointment with her in a month and a half. Very happy to have her back. It really raises the question, whether you’re better off having no mental health assistance or assistance with somebody who is subpar.
