So..... I spent Friday and Saturday in bed. I barely dragged myself out to take my little ones to their final basketball game of the season. I had not been that depressed since my ex-wife left. I called my Pdoc's office and luckily they had a cancelation today. I got in....

Sunday I was so snippy and short tempered. I tried so hard, but I was yelling at my boys all day. I screamed at my 7yo!!! :,-( I hate this!!!!

I went Into the doc today..... I need a new doc. She wouldn't listen. She kept cutting me off when I tried to talk. She hadn't reviewed my chart and had forgotten the very basics of ME!!!

She didn't remember that I have a Misdemeanor conviction. She didn't know why I was on the meds I was on..... When I started to get frustrated at her for cutting me off when I was trying to talk, she YELLED at me! She said I was SCREAMING!!! I was in no way yelling or screaming. My voice was stern, but not loud.

Then she asked me what I was going to do since I can't find a job. I told her I don't know and I'm worried about my boys. I started to say that sending them to their mom is not an option. She started to yell at me again because I focus on the ex (I do, I admit it. I am still incredibly hurt, heartbroken and angry)..... Not two sentences later she asks me if I can send the boys to live with the ex!!!!!

She gave me different meds and upped another......

I F'ing hate my life.

I once had a doctor similar to that who kept trying to put me on meds I was allergic to. Every day it was another day of her throwing her hands up in the air giving up on me, trying to put me on meds I am alllergic to, and telling me what a piece of crap I was....I got a new doctor and things are going a lot better...i hope you are able to find someone who works with you and not against you.

You are in a very hard situation. What gives her the right to bring up yr personal business while trying to get on some meds that would work better for you. That should be first priorities yr working.on. after you figure out what.meds would work best first then discuss yr.personal issues. I agree with emeraldstar. you should find A diff Dr asap. You shouldn't be treated that way. It's hard enough being depressed than having to deal with an angry dr. Goodn luck and keep us.posted on how yr doing ok? Take care

I'm still in a depressive state. I'm honestly stressed all to hell. No job since Christmas. My doc is an ***....

My mom (who at 71 is still working as a RN!) talked to one of the P'Doc's at work and got me an appt with him. He is supposed to be very nice. Anyone has to be better than what I have now. Two weeks.... Sigh

My current doc switched up my meds this last visit. Switched out my Straterra (for ADD) for something else.... I don't even care.

I just want to disappear.

Good luck with the PDoc. Hey, most of us have had a crappy doctor at some point. If this can even be any sort of consolation: you've had the worst, so you most likely will only find a better one.

You don't have to put up with crappy doctors.

Hang in there.
