So I went to the clinic and waited for a long time because I accidentally got there too early (thought my appt. was 20 mins earlier than it actually was). The staff that was working was not very friendly, there was a little girl in the waiting room that was seriously out of control (tearing up magazines, running all over the chairs, shrieking) and no one was saying anything. I feel so angry when parents don't teach their children manners. Not reprimand, but teach. Gently explain, and be clear and firm.

I was seriously on the verge of saying something to the little girl when the medical assistant called me back to take my vitals. After vitals I was sitting on a chair and waiting when the PA called me into her office.

I adore her.

M2 (my therapist is M1) is from Kenya. She has long, gorgeous dreads and her office just has a feeling of care and love. She was so kind and sweet. Young, probably about 30, but she just feels wise. She reminded me of my DIL. I feel like I can dialogue with her because she totally respected my experience with meds. I had no sense of a power struggle over meds.

There's no need to change my medication and I'll see her in three weeks!
