Are there support groups IRL you could get involved in? Free ones that are peer-led, where the profit motive doesn't play a role?

I guess it makes sense that if you're the psychiatrist for a mental ward, you'd become pretty jaded too. He exclaimed all these weird things like "All your medications are wrong!" and "But you can't take anything else, so I'm not going to change your meds". Pshaw! I hope my pdoc can sort it out. My pharmacist was so nice yesterday when I went to pick up my meds and drop off two bottles of Rexulti- my mom picked it up and brought it to me at the hospital since their pharmacy didn't stock Rexulti- she asked how I was and said it was good to see me- genuine affection, even though she only ever sees me when I'm picking up my meds. Such a limited relationship, but I guess she knew that that hospital I went to wasn't where I normally got my prescriptions from- and so nice of her! She fills my blister packs every 2 weeks and is always kind. This is why I won't change pharmacies to "Something bigger, like Rite Aid, CVS, or Walgreens" as others have suggested.
