I have been lurking and although my primary diagnosis is bipolar 1, my main problem ris anxiety. My pdoc is wanting to take me off of 2 mgs of clonazapam. I was taken off 2 mgs of lorarazapam and the results were disastrous. I am going to be starting cbt for anxiety and work my butt off learning them.

I also have a son with very horrible mental illnesses. I have health problems as well.

I'm angry at my last therapist bc she DID not know how cbt worked. I had her as a therapist for 3 yrs and like every 6 months or so I would say, hey don't think this is working out and she would say unfortunately you can't change therapists here.

With her not knowing cbt I finally called and got a supervisor. I said my therapist just wasn't working out. And the supervisor said we'll you've been with, blah blah, blah blah ect. I said you must be thinking of someone else I've only had one therapist here. She said let me look into this and I'll get back in touch in the next couple of days. She called me back that day with a new therapist and put me on the schedule! When I had my last session with my old therapist and I asked her why she said that, her response was I think you misunderstood me. That's all she would say. I don't get it.
