I'm beginning to lose my ****. My pdoc was also my t for the past 6 years and now that she's gone, I don't have anyone. It's starting to get to me badly. I've tried going to other T's but I never go back because it's not pinky (my pdoc/T that quit). I don't know what to do. I feel myself declining. I have schizoaffective disorder and now without anyone to trust, I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out inside. What if I can't ever find another t I like?

I'm sorry that you're in this situation. I know it's hard. There are other good pdocs and Ts out there. Don't give up.

I'm trying not to. But it's so hard to try to trust someone else again with all of my paranoid thoughts, hallucinations, secret thoughts, everything. I don't want another pdoc. My primary doctor said he'll refill my meds. I'm so scared I won't find a t. I want to run from here. I don't know where. Just... Away from the entire area of DFW, TX.

I recently lost my pdoc too who was also my T. The search has been painful and I've felt like giving up at times. It scared me too to start over again with someone new.

I'm here for you. ((((Hugs))))

If it is not a possibility to go back to T1, it's a matter of making do with what is good enough for you *right now*. You can always interview others on the side.

I understand the ‘what ifs’ but there are no guarantees in life. It is only by doing, and trying, that we can progress or see how things stand.

So, if your needs are such that you could use such a professional, try a recommendation or someone half decent. Give them time, they might be a good fit... But you won’t know that if you don’t give someone a chance.

I've been to basically every t in my city. I can't go back.

I am sorry to hear that..

Usually they (the decent ones) don't mind people coming for 1/2 sessions only and I would think it's common enough. Most Ts would understand and generally have an open door policy.

Would it be possible to try - once more? Just so you don't stay without any support.

Otherwise, trying another city would be the next option.

That's the problem. I don't have transportation outside of my city. The bus for elderly and disabled people only goes in my city. I don't have a license or car. I can't rely on anyone else. So I'm stuck here. :/

I was without a tdoc for 8 very painful months when a tdoc I'd worked with for four years left the clinic. It was HELL...the good news is that once I got off the waiting list to see a new one, I actually ended up liking the new tdoc a lot more.

I know it sucks and you feel abandoned, unsafe, and alone, but there are other good tdocs and pdocs out there. Hang in there.
