Dear itsmejewels,
I'm glad you found the courage to speak up! You did great!
I wanted to mention that the waiting for appointments is the hardest part. When I interview therapists or even doctors it's always usually a month waiting between appointments to see each one. The waiting kind of...
Welcome to the forum,
Those do seem like meds prescribed for depressive disorders and insomnia. But there's many more too. Follow your doctors directions and see if they help. If you respond well to those then great, but if not, you can always try other meds.
Take care,

Welcome to the forum.
You've had a lot happen! You're a survivor. And I'm sorry you lost your Chihuahua.

Hi Froggie, about 10 years ago I passed 2 live snakes on the sidewalk, they were kind of half way in the bushes. I thought it was interesting seeing lives snakes.
Guess what, about a week later I got wonderful news & came into a lot of money. I looked backed at seeing those snakes as a good...
Beth, That graphic is sooooo cute! Thank you :) I haven't read the letter yet.
I wanted to further comment on the socioeconomically challenged part. And that is to say that I myself am socioeconomically challenged which stigmatizes us & pigeon holes us into a class that is typically mistreated...
You do sound very educated and intelligent! And I think the more educated & intelligent we are the more difficult it is to find good, professional treatment because we can see right through their bullshit when they're dishing it out.
This has been my personal experience. I have come to shake...
You're more than welcome.
I can see you're in a lot of pain. The things he said to you were just ridiculous and unacceptable. I hope you can get this out of your system in some healthy way like beating a punching bag or something. Please don't hurt your self. You've already suffered enough...
I was going to include that. The process for referral works differently depending on your area.
I'm very sorry. I hope you do write the letter!!
Can you see somebody else in your area?

Sorry this happened to you. I just wrote a post last night telling my horror story of my first experience with a Pdoc. They can be real assholes.
I think a proper therapist can evaluate you for the purpose you mentioned. You don't need a pdoc for that. Mostly pdocs' are good for working with...
I relate to what you are saying. The first psychiatrist I ever saw was insensitive ill-mannered jerk.
I was seen by a therapist soon after that and I told her of my experience with said Dr. Her immediate reply was, "he's a psychiatrist, what did you expect?" And I'll never forget how she said...
Welcome to the forum,
You might be dealing with a lot of different mood swings and stuff like that. The best thing is to be understanding and non-judgmental when you see weird behavior. Just let him know that you understand and "it's okay". But be honest with yourself and him. If the strange...
Dear Rskye1,
Welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear about those terrible events. It might make you feel better to take legal action. Your case was mishandled but there should be record that you reported the rape. I would get an attorney to sue both the police department for negligence, and sue...
