so i saw my pdoc and they said they couldnt help me with my anxiety and stuff i already knew they couldnt help but i guess it is weird hearing it out loud but i guess this means i was right they dont care and they wont help. they even suggested i see someone else. well i dont think anyone can help anyway so i guess i might as well go ahead with my plans.

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time and that your pdoc said they couldn't help you. Will you keep us posted on how you're doing?

Are you hoping someone can help you?
If so, get a referral from your pdoc and see someone new.

How can we best help you?

They may be doing the right thing by offering someone else. You don't want someone saying they can help you when they are not able to. And, the reason they cannot likely has much more to do with them than with you.

I have had a series of useless pdoc's and finally have found a good one. It is worth the effort seeking help elsewhere. There is some doctor out there who can help you. your current pdoc sounds awful. So sorry you are not getting the help you need. Don't give up and stay safe.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. My last pdoc told me the same thing, seek help elsewhere. I was crushed! My current pdoc, I think she's on the verge of doing the same thing because the last visit was an 'I don't know what else to do with you type of vibe.' I have an appointment with her this afternoon, so we'll see how that goes. We'll get through it together. The support here is great in the meantime.

did you tell him you felt paranoid and that ppl were watching you?
if you told him what you told us and he told you he can't help you that is malpractice for heaven sakes!
