Hi everyone. I posted a really long update to bipolar board yesterday so I'm really out of steam, besides you don't want to have to listen to me that much anyway.

Latest pdoc appt was interesting, finally finished the initial interview that we started last time. Other than that spent most of the time talking about something I didn't want to talk about but couldn't find a way to deflect so I did. Next time we're looking at dx, med change (she wants me off the benzos because I'm an addictive personality) and treatment plan.

Won't be seeing my family doc much. He had been the one who was looking after me but when he found out that I would be seeing a pdoc and tdoc he left me to them. Meanwhile I hope that I don't run out of meds before we establish a taper schedule.

Won't see the pdoc or tdoc that much either. Majorly booked and we are going into summer semester so i don't know how that changes things. Then there is the mental health clinc which I'm on the waiting list for...which means I WILL have to tell my story to yet another person! grrr.

Hi Amanda.....just wanted to say how I understand how frustrating and tiring it is to repeat 'your story' to yet another therapist or whoever. I find sometimes it just now rolls off my tongue like a practiced script *grin* whether that is a good thing or not I'm not sure. Hang tough though if you can and hope like I always did that you will get the right person to hear you and not have to go through it all again.
