UGH. So I go see my psychiatrist on an emergency basis because I've been feeling so bad lately... really it's been up and down... but anyway, I walk into her office a couple days ago and she spends all of NINE minutes with me before basically shoving me out the door. It was like she didn't care or want to hear what was going on, especially when I told her I couldn't pay my copay that day. My copay is $40 and I had no money... been having financial problems lately. I know it's my BPD that makes me want to find another psychiatrist now, and that I should probably just give her a chance, but I don't know if I want to. I'm pissed.

Hi emmaleewhispers, I'm sorry that happened to you. I would be upset too. Has she ever been like this before? If not, I would give her another chance to see if it was a one time thing or not. I wish you the best of luck.

-Take care,

Nine minutes .... That's ridiculous!
I have a problem with turning my back on psychiatrists. About to change to my fourth one. I don't know. I think of it as shopping around. I hope the new one will be a good one. Only ever seen males. This one is a female. Maybe I will connect with her more.
Been advised today that once I've found a good one to stick with them so my treatment is more consistent.
If, in the past, she has been good to you, perhaps wait a few days before making long term decisions about changing.

Be careful not all docs care or better yet adequate to treat us. Listen to your gut- if it feels wrong it usually is. Remember u or ur insurance r paying them they work for you not the other way around. If you don't get good service at a restaurant do you go back hoping it will be better. Maybe one time but not four. Stop making it like it is your fault the Pdoc may just not care or she is tired of you. You as a borderline are a tough case PDoc may not want to deal with it anymore this may be their way if getting rid of you as patient and since they know our triggers so well this may be what they r doing without being sued for firing you.

I don't blame you for being angry. Getting treated like this isn't right in any setting. But we have to allow for our doctor's having good days and bad days just like us, so I echo what others have said. Maybe give her another chance? I hope this works out for you.
