@wolfshades – Why wouldn’t the psychiatrist treat you? That seems unfair. Like getting a recipe from a world-class chef and then giving it to a short-order cook to prepare. (no offense to any family docs reading!!) At least you can feel confident in your diagnosis, and glad to hear that you are finally in treatment. Another example of how each person’s path is very different, so I am learning.

@quizzical – I’m not sure those specific categories will work for me, but I like the idea. Hope to have time between now and Monday morning to sit quietly alone and make a list! I too go a bit blank in the doctor’s office without some notes. I would suspect that will be particularly true this time around as the issue is so multi-faceted.
