Thanks everyone!

Your comments have reassured me that I'm not crazy (well, not completely!). I'm tired of always thinking it's me who has the problem. And I'm tired of making excuses for him, like he's inexperienced or overworked. Some of you have also reminded me to look at whether this is interfering with the therapeutic relationship. It made me laugh, because I once thought to myself I should stop talking about certain things because they seem to 'bug' T. Can you believe it???!!!! Hello!! It's my right as a patient to discuss whatever I need to, even ad nauseum, in order to work through it.

I do need to trust my gut instinct. It's not just his comments, of which I'm fairly certain he was not joking. I've asked him questions about my diagnosis and haven't always felt like I've gotten a straightforward answer. He's very good with the administrative side of things (making referrals, follow-ups with other testing, etc...), but his "bedside" manner (if I can call it that) leaves a lot to be desired. Anyway, I think I know what I have to do!
