Hi everyone, well I got no where this week with my psychologist thats retiring, he even made up his mind before my session on closing my file. I told him how i was feeling and still got no where. I am really feeling overwhelmed and I know this descision is not all his it's the people who manage the mental health clinic. Because i took some courses last year cbt they feel i have the skills to do it on my own. Yes it is true that i have the skills, but im far from ready to leave therapy my anxiety, depression, ptsd, bulima are still effecting my day to day things. Going to day program is all i have for a social life i basically have nothing else besides my husband.


I really do not see why being reffered to another therapist at the clinic is impossible for them it just seems like they don't care. Next Wednesday im hoping my family doctor can help me and if anything be informed of whats happening to me. I feel they are not giving me a chance because my therapist is retiring, if he was not retiring im sure i could continue on as long as it was helping me and im making progress. I feel overwhelmed

Im so sorry if i made my post confusing it was more of vent out of fustration that it seem impossible to get help right now. I feel like im doing the right thing by going to my doctor but at the same time i feel they are going to look at me as attention seeking, i don't know im very confused with this and i have been over thinking for the past 5 weeks on my own basically and i do not know where to turn but here to vent.

The decision to end treatment altogether shouldn't be unilateral. It should be an ongoing discussion with you. Can you look for another clinic or a private practice therapist?

[Taylor27]

I might have to look at private, this clinic has other therapist and is runned by our provincal health care. It's the only one here in town. If i get no where with my doctor i will wait til my file closes this summer and take a month off before i phone intake and start over. I would miss out on day programs and everything im involved with like cooking class. If i go private im not covered under my health plan i am on social assistance disability and i have checked that out. I been checking everything out. I think going to my doctor is the best way he does or can have a say in discussing my file with the staff at the clinic.

HUGS Cheryl 27. I hope your doctor is able to help you in getting your file to stay open. HUGS Kit

Hopefully your doctor can advocate for your therapy. It sounds like that is the protocol for handling the system there.
