yep, here I am again.....another dr. app't.....another med(or meds ) to try....more side effects, potentially to deal with.
I really like my dr. and he's kind and supportive, but gosh, I wish my T weren't on vacation right now!
It's funny, I hardly ever call her anyway between app'ts, so it's not like it's unusual to not have contact with her.....but there is something comforting about knowing she's in her office at least, if I did happen to want to call! And now it feels sort of disconcerting to know she's not there, and I have no idea where in the world she is (not that it's my business anyway!)......so, right when I feel like I do need her, she isn't here and I actually miss her (silly as I feel about it).
Sorry if I sound fussy.....my thoughts and emotions are jumpy and odd today.
No need to reply.....I'm just venting in the hope it'll help me settle down!

Poetgirl, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Even on weekends I get uneasy because I like just knowing where my T is during the week, in case I need him. I feel much better on Tues, when he is back in the office. Not to mention when he goes on vacation...ugh!

Hope the new meds work out! I am the queen of new medication, spent more time weaning myself on and off meds than actually on them..haha. Anyway, Good luck

well, no new meds......my dr. (who is my regular GP) said he felt he would just be experimenting with me as to what med to try and he didn't feel that was fair, as this is not an area in which he feels he's knowledgeable enough....So, he made a referral for me to a pdoc, and I went and filled out the intake form, but no app't until March 7! So I am no meds right now.....not that I mind this so badly since I don't relish the thought of meds(tho I acknowledge the need), but yet I feel sort of scared because I am feeling mentally/emotionally fragile right now, sort of on the edge of something that's bigger than I am comfortable controlling alone anymore...........and my T is gone, darn her! I feel hyper and sort of restless and a bit mad underneath, yet I also feel weepy, go figure. But I think I will manage, because I have to!
I think my T will be glad I made a pdoc app't but not pleased that I am not on any meds for the next month........but what else could I do?!

I'm sorry your GP wouldn't give you meds but I think it's a good idea that he referred you to a pdoc. He will be able to tell you if you have bipolar and will know what meds to give you, and monitor you closely since you had that reaction. I know March 7 is a long time from now, though. Hang in there!

Interesting that you don't think it's your business to know where your T is on her vacation. I always want to know where my T is and she tells me. I guess some Ts are more private and if a client doesn't ask, they don't tell.

I actually overhead a client ask as she was leaving just before my app't and all my T said was 'south'! So, I thought, well, if I ask her, she's not likely to give me any more info than that, so I decided not to ask. She has self-disclosed on other things but as she says, it's according to relevance......like telling me she takes meds, too, when we were having a discussion about my reluctance to do so. But she didn't tell me what or what for.....and I didn't ask that either!
I don't see what it would hurt if I did know where she was, tho.....what would I do about it anyway?! But it's ok....probably she'll say where she was when she's back!
