oh, thank you!

that is it, entirely. pdoc has been letting his child-side out a bit lately, and it is a bit weird. in some ways it is fun and good for me also because it feels a bit intimate and safe coming from him, but in others i am there because i need my issues attended to and having him joke around once too often kind of throws me off.

e.g., i will be saying something (like, err... these meds are causing me to hallucinate) and he will interject with "hey, i really like your earrings".

i know it's not his intention, but it does make me feel a bit like i'm not being heard, or that if he is registering - that it isn't important enough to be addressed. if i'm even more honest - it makes my kind of nurturing (?) side kick in, and be like the 'adult' who has to humour a kid.

he really is a good dr, so i feel bad for even saying that ^. i hope it doesn't establish itself as a long term pattern.

but thank you for your insight, mousey . to be honest, i've been feeling ridiculous for letting that little sms get to me so much, but your response really does get to the heart of the matter.
