I waited 4 days and sent her a diplomatic but firm voicemail back. We’ll see how it goes July 20th at our scheduled meeting. Maybe I do need to find somebody else. This is getting really old. The nastiness.

I’ve decided not to go to the reunion. I’m not up to it.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day
I don't blame you for being angry. I don't think it's that uncommon for people to lose a med and need a replacement. I'd think her lacking the experience to know this, or as you write, a jerk.

I've encountered new psychologists that treated me like a newly diagnosed person. Or worse, like a teen or young adult, when I wasn't it. A couple I left, and one I spoke up about this with. Luckily, the latter took it the right way and adjusted her behavior.
