I just found that my psychiatrist will be transferring me back to my gp. They do this once they feel you are stabilized, which I guess I am. I have become attached to my pdoc and I don’t want to leave. Since my insurance won’t pay anymore, then I’d have to pick up the tab if I want to stay. $300/per half hour! I wish there was something I could do. Anyway, just venting.

This never happened to me 
Now me and my pdoc talk politics, gives me my klonopin prescription and I leave. The end.
I’m thinking I’m done with my Pdoc…
I’m okay with being transferred back to just my GP. I feel I’m ready…psychosis free for over a year now.
Still on a waiting list for the Royal Mental Hospital to get a re-evaluation, though.

That’s ridiculous!
Have you talked about your concerns with your pdoc?
It is ridiculous. No, I have been too much of a chicken to talk to her. Maybe I’ll get the courage to do so when I see her the last time.

I feel you! I was at an intensive outpatient clinic for a number of years. Every year, the clinic had to justify the cost of treating me with pdoc, nurse, therapist, etc… to the city, who was footing most of the bill. At some point, maybe right after I got my Bachelor’s degree, they sent me away permanently…back to county mental health services, which was far less intensive and supportive. I was crushed. I felt so safe, there (despite weekly socializing with the ex-felons, who were the primary patients there, as ordered by the courts, not always a fun experience). I still miss it, but it’s a sign of recovery, in a way, right?
I can tell you that he’s confident in you. He’s sure you’re ready to go out of the bird’s nest and to fly into the sky!
Feel reassured that you’re at the stage where they’re willing to release you into the wild! fly, little orange fly!

I agree! $300.00 per half hour is outrageous!!
Is this Doctor’s Practice called, “The Happy Endings Therapy Sessions” or what??
(a joke about expensive sex/massage parlors)

I would love to be free of psychiatry. A GP is a far better choice as a medication manager. They are without all that heavy psychologizing. Of course, your psychiatrist is a woman.
Tell me, please, how I can add onto my name here a short, facetious description of myself, like your “Squeezed fresh daily.”
