Dear New (I guess?) P-Doc,

I feel like the LT of even a year ago would have been bothered by some of what you said. And I was slightly, I guess. But, I think you're right. I think I'm at the point where I'm ready to make that change. And I think maybe I need someone to talk a bit tough to me (Dr. T does about some thing, but not really this--seems more wistful almost. But it's also a lot more complicated now with him if he were to take a more judgmental stance--I can let you be the enforcer). I have this thought of "I feel like you can help me."

I admit, I also liked that your closing line to me was "And you're not crazy." You seemed to read me well, about some other things, too. And you came thisclose to mentioning another possible diagnosis (I know which one), but you seem willing to investigate more first. Funny that both you and Dr. T have said "you're complicated" in the past couple weeks.

And normally I might have opened a beer right now, but I'm having an NA one. Decided to make the right choice.
