I get to where I enjoy dealing with certain mental health care workers and I feel a sense of loss when they move on somewhere else to different jobs doing something else and I’ve heard that the turn over rate for those positions are high…

I’ve had several psychiatrists of mine die on me. In some cases, this has meant rehospitalization and grief.

I saw my first ever pdoc (back in 1980) in the local obituary’s last year, and it really got me thinking about just how many years MI has colored my life.

Luckily been seeing my psydoc since 1993 on and off…consistantly since 1999…He was first in practice when I first saw him so it’s been really good to have the same one for so long. Makes a big difference. We talk about cricket and he has a good idea of how functional I am most times by my responses.
It’s important to keep with the good ones…but life can be ever so problematic sometimes!

My last pdoc I had from 1998-2012, she was my favorite. I miss her.

My current psychiatrist is a funny man. He laughs and looks spaced out more than me 
But i guess he is doing his best

My fav pdoc died too I think. He was the best and in his 70s he would even seem to fall asleep and drop his pen when I talked but when I stopped he always came to and said something interesting. He even helped draw up the disability insurance legislation. I sure miss him. Best part is he got me on the right meds the first time

I have seen different psychic docs since 1991 I think about 8 I believe .
I lost my favorite pdoc to leukemia…long story. My favorite therapist just got canned at my clinic and now I have a new woman leading group. What I really miss is the clubhouse they used to have daily there.
I dont have a psychiatrist. Theres none in my town. Although my doc told me theres one thinking of moving here sometime so thats hopeful news.
Well, to be honest, I kind of wished a couple of my docs would have died on me.
