I hate to post this under this topic, but I did not know where else to post this. I need advice. I need someone to give me direction and I need it ASAP. My last psychiatrist has found me where I work. I prayed she wouldn't, but, alas, she has. I had been misdiagnosed my her and she made my life a living hell. I am working on finding out the damage she may have caused to my liver, but that is an entirely other issue....

My problem is this: she should have ignored me. I work in retail. Normally I would have not said a word to her, but as the corporate guy was standing directly behind me, I had to at least tell her to have a nice day. Instead of just walking out that door, she back tracked. I had a customer. I glanced up and started to have a panic attack. I thought, oh, my good GOD...she stood there and waited for me and I was very slow, hoping she would just leave, but she didn't. She smiled and said, "HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!"....then she said, "NO, NO, NO...MANY BLESSINGS FOR A HAPPY 2014!!!," all the while bending her knees and extending her arms to me. Mind you, this was a day after I had a liver biopsy.... I wanted to vomit. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. Then she nearly skipped out that damn door. The rest of day was literally the hardest day I had in a good long while.

So I called my attorney up. He is the president of something around here but has no idea how to handle a case like that. My therapist says I am strong enough to sue her and I should. That "doctor" had no right and no place to talk to me. So, everyone, she knows where I work and I know she is going to come find me again. What in creation should I do, because I can't quit my job, I don't have another lined up yet and I can't tell my boss because he will tell em to quit, as he doesn't want drama. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!?

If you live at a mid sized town, the chances of her coming to actually go through cashier, and of you happen to work at that time is pretty slim. So I don't think you need to worry about facing her again, if that will alleviate the problem. I don't know the details of why would she go and find you.So, don't quit your job!

My store is quite small. She is demented and thinks no one can stop her. I can't quit lol. I need the money and don't have anything else lined up yet....so....just wanted to know what to do if and when she comes in again. I work in an office supply store. Being a psychiatrist she might come in again.... Not sure how to handle her. She knew who I was, had to. I was with her 6 years, too long...don't know what to do...

You can't have her banned from the store unless you tell the owner why. I am having a hard time seeing how this is anything more than a coincidence and her making pleasantries but there could be details I don't know about. If she comes in again just give her the brush off. If it was just pleasantries she'll get it and move on. I mean... Is she really that interested in harassing you? Why?

I would talk to my lawyer about a restraining order, especially if you are suing her. That could keep her from loitering near or talking to you. I do not think you could keep her out of the store but you could keep her from seeking you out.

No, no coincidence. I nearly hit her as she darted in front of my car as she went into a neighboring store the week before. Not sure I could get a restraining order yet. I think she has to do something first. As for my past with her, I took a step father than talking to an attorney. She was much worse than I let on. When I said I had a liver biopsy, I meant the meds she had me on May have done damage. Clozaril in particular. So i contacted the drug company myself and told them the dosage she had me on and for how long. Lo and behold I can still view it on my online chart from that hospital and her. It says that it was within toxic range in my blood for over 5 years. They gave me the phone number for the FDA. I am supposed to call as soon as I can with everything I can gather, including her name, the hospital, and their phone number. Mine too. It was a misdiagnosis and my seizures caused the voices, but Clozaril is not to be used with seizures, which they told me I had, too. So this is a long story and I am calling this week after I tell my therapist who prompted me to call my attorney....and then my psychiatrist too...and free the FDA contacts her, will she come find me??? I have hard evidence and proof of all of this. Should I print it all out??? I hate to feel scared of a doctor, I do, but after a she has done to me, and this is just the tip of the ice berg, it gets worse......

You can also call her licensing board and discuss hour concerns. You won't get any sort of retribution, but they may investigate her or suspend her license, preventing her from hurting others.

I talked to my cousin in Florida tonight. He said I should talk to a personal injury lawyer. This is crazy. Never in my life did I ever think this would happen. It does get worse....i am just thinking of more to say to an attorney. I have to write it all down....

It makes sense why you would be contacting a lawyer, etc, etc. Not sure if it makes it anything other than a coincidence unless she knows her license is at risk. (And maybe she does but you were keeping it short which is fine.) I would think merely contacting a lawyer and them showing the judge you talked to FDA and lawyer would be enough for a restraining order. Or maybe a letter from a lawyer would be enough. If you talk to a lawyer I don't think I would contact her directly again.

I'll be curious to hear how this turns out. I think I was harmed by over medication and then an incompetent set of staff.

I didn't seek her out by any means. I didn't talk to her first. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find an attorney that would even want to discuss this in person due to it being against a psychiatrist. Even though I have it in my chart. My therapist has told me today that it is my choice to pursue this; but do NOT TALK TO THE DRUG COMPANY MYSELF OR THE FDA MYSELF. So. This is awful. I was not ready for this yet. I was going to eventually but not just yet. I did contact a lawyer today via email; this firm listed different types of malpractice, and i fall under several different types. Very disturbing. Hoping someone contacts me and will at least discuss this, as I do have to see a therapist to deal with her continually. Sigh.
