I've seen tons of doctors, most of them were bad. My present Dr. is easy to get along with but he hasn't done anything for me the last year. I had an ACT team 3 yrs ago and it was horrible; healthcare around here is really terrible. I've been to Johns Hopkins 6 times; I asked a Dr. there "how much do you know about mood disorders?" and she said "Not much. Maybe in 10 years we'll know more". There you have it.

I'm really, really sorry, cool. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all okay. Or at least point you in the right direction. I saw a therapist many years ago, a psychologist through the Veteran's Administration (my husband is a Vietnam vet); that man was outstanding. I have never had another therapist who was worth the gas money to drive to the clinic, usually. And so on and so forth with the rest of the "support team" situation.
IP for me was nightmarish. All I gained from it was to make sure
I never told my pdoc the words that would get me send back IP.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that I feel for you. You're sure not alone in your situation.
Can you break it down and list, say, 4 things you would like in order to feel safe and more secure in your life?
