Last appointment with Pdoc

ScarletPimpernel · Jan 06, 2017 at 05:20 AM

Today is my last appointment with my Pdoc. She's leaving the clinic and will no longer be seeing clients. She'll be working at the county as a director?

I'm sad. I haven't been crying though. T thinks that's a good sign. I hope so. I hope I'm not in denial or something. But T said even if I am, we can process it.

I hope today goes well. I hope I don't cry. A few tears is okay I guess. I hope it's a happy time. It's only 15mins, so it will go by quickly.

Wish me luck!

I saw my Pdoc. I went really well! She gave me a card!!! She said she didn't give anyone else a card! I feel special. She told me that everything she wrote in the card (happy getting to know me, strengths, encouragement) were all things she told all her clients, just for me she wrote them down so I could have a transitional object. It was so sweet, she shed a few tears. That meant a lot to me. She still did a little therapy with me. She told me I need to compartmentalize what happened with ex-T. We talked about my bad thoughts towards ex-T. She told me I needed to practice thought stopping, use wise-mind, and remember my morals. We talked about my SUI thoughts. We talked about my meds. And we talked about my energy levels dropping. All-in-all, it went well. I couldn't have hoped for a better appt. And I didn't cry! And I'm still doing okay!! And I have my card!!!

Sounds like a positive ending Scarlet!

Sad you had to have an end, but really glad to know that pdoc paid attention to what would help you.

Yeah. I'm really grateful I got the card. My Pdoc wasn't sure she'd give me anything. She has tight boundaries and treats all her clients the same. So her giving me the card is really special. She actually talked to my T about it to make sure it was a healthy thing for me. Of course my T wasn't going to tell her to do it or don't do it. But it was nice that they talked and T reassured her.

I'm missing her a little more now. I cried a few tears for her. I'm sad she's no longer a part of my life. She was an awesome Pdoc. She's the one Pdoc who actually got my meds right. On top of that, she was a great support. I could always email her, or call an make an appt in an emergency. She always did a little therapy with me. And she actually gave my T her direct cell phone number. She was also very intelligent. She was always reading and keeping up to date with new studies. And she was overall a great woman. Tough woman (could be intimidating at times), but super nice.

I miss her.
