Omg, I see my (our) pdoc tomorrow, and because all the others being embarrassing the last 2 first appointments- almost crying over this DID thing (got the weirdest looks)....I don't wanna.
I think one of us is going to go in there like "nothing but a thing", get our Rx, and get out of there for a few more months. Thank God were stabile right now. It's not a reason to stop seeing her I don't guess, but I don't want to go through the motions of starting over again with another pdoc. She'll quit eventually and I'll get a new one. Anyone else dread seeing there pdoc over past actions? What did you do? Hearing your worse will help me to not feel so out there. |

I don't dread seeing him but it always makes me a little nervous. You're right that it is a blessing that you're stable, and that's not a reason to stop seeing your pdoc. If you are stable this should be just a med check for you to get your Rx. I wish you luck!

I don't dread seeing my pdoc. I actually quite like him! In fact, I'm due for a return appointment. However, I am conflicted. I'm not on any med's at this point & I have no intention of going back on anything. I'm okay within the narrow parameters of my life as I live it at this point. So, to some extent, there's really no point in seeing my pdoc. But, at the same time, he is my last remaining link to the mental health system. I don't see a therapist or anything such as that. So if I cut my pdoc loose, I'm on my own, period.
And, also, I have this one other problem... I've been called for jury duty twice previously. It scares me to death!  And my pdoc has the power to keep me out of it. He writes them a letter... they leave me alone... So, do I keep seeing him so that I can avail myself of his authority if-&-when I get tapped for jury duty again, or do I roll the dice & hope I won't be called or, if I do, that I can survive the experience... It's a conundrum...

Hey always, I too dread any sort of MH professional and indeed my own G.P. You have to look on the bright side of things, positive things. You are stable, that is brilliant! I understand how you feel, to an extent as we all have our own MH issues, it must be very difficult going in with "others". I make a blubbering fool of myself all the time. I think if I thought about it too much, I would not go in. So I owe it to myself, as you do too. Best wishes... Let us know how you get on. *hugs* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate mine. I've had quite a few through the years and have liked very few. The ones I liked taught me sooooooooo much, one in particular taught me some communication techniques(1994!) I use for my family that are a godsend. Right now I just go through the motions and get my scripts.

Luckily I have a pdoc that I like for once. He's new so I pretty much make all the med suggestions. Sometimes I think I may know more than him lol. If you're not comfortable with your pdoc, why not find a new one? Having a good relationship with your dr's is important I think. I have new insurance and had to switch my general dr though and this new lady is a raging b and doesn't listen to a word I say. Crappy insurance gets me crappy docs I guess!

I don't mind my pdoc, but I always get nervous about her med changes. She is one of those "less is best" kind of docs. She's easy to talk to, though, and she seems to care about what was going on with me. I've had pdocs who could've cared less; just patch me up and kick me out of the door.
And Skeezyks: I also used her to get out of jury duty twice as well. She gets that panic attacks in public would not be a good thing. |
