So my pdoc of three-plus years suddenly left her job at the clinic. They hooked me up with someone in New Mexico (telehealth). We had our first appointment and in my opinion, we didn't connect at all. In literally the first 10 minutes of meeting she told me I can't possibly have BD because of the meds I'm on. She insisted that I have generalized anxiety disorder. GAD may well be - but that's not the end of the story.

I filled out a complaint form about her...she's a D.O., I don't even know if she has a background in psychiatry. Anyway, the clinic director informed her of my complaint (which is kind of embarrassing; I thought my complaint would just give them a heads-up...I didn't know they'd actually contact her. But, I can live with it). The clinic director sent a letter to me and blah, blah.

So my point here is that I am depressed. Way too many losses since late winter and too many abrupt changes. I'm overwhelmed and exhausted. Therapy is pretty much at a standstill; my therapist just keeps repeating the same "you have your tools. Make use of them." Obviously she's pretty much given all she has to give.

I don't even know what I'm trying to say. I'm just worn out. I took a walk...I'm always proud of myself when I take walks, but it doesn't lift my depression like magic. Really, I just want to curl up in bed.
