So my original psychiatrist moved to Louisville. I was never able to open up to him, however he has help me with medication.

So I am seeing a nurse practitioner that he chose for me and my personality. It is a female and I saw her for the first time today. Can I just say, "she is awesome". The psychiatrist was a pill popper where she is a listener and go from there.

She recommended a therapist to help me sort through my day to day. Im having trouble with the depression but this might be the ticket. Between the two I might find some harmony and balance.

I see the therapist next week so they got the ball rolling right away.

Therapy was / is the best thing I could have done once I learned she doesn't flinch at psychosis. Its good because she also tells my psychiatrist what's going on.

Pills alone aren't always the answer, you need some one good to talk to. I'm glad you're on the right track
