I completely get what you mean when you say

''I am angry that I have to fear my psychiatrist's lack of empathy''..

This is exactly how I feel about (too many) providers I've consulted. Including a psychiatrist (or two)

I feel much dread and anxiety too. I HATE it. It's by far my worst symptom

You have my empathy, dear BethRags (for what it's worth)

I am ready to rattle cages if need be. Go to county mental health, or whatever it takes. No one should have to suffer with dread and anxiety every moment of the day. I am angry that I have to fear my psychiatrist's lack of empathy.
