Thank you for your comment... I have had so many doctors, and I've been on almost every antidepressant you can think of. It feel like a lab rat. Different doses, different doctors... YEARS of psychotherapy and all different kinds of counseling. It feels so pointless.

That was very presumptuous of me to think you hadn't! I'm sorry. For what it's worth I never had a psychiatrist until now and it's made a world of difference when it comes to meds. A young resident with a medical university with access to highly trained doctors. I've never had real good success with meds, but this clinic helped me sort through the whole med fiasco and what I should be working towards.

And I hear you on the therapy... what a load of crap! Until now. I'm really getting something out of it. Meditation app. Reading. I don't know, I think I'm on the right track with this one doctor. He's leaving in June. 🙁 He's supposed to help me find a therapist outside this clinic. I'd really like to find a super talented one! I recently read "Maybe you should talk to someone." It was very good. I hope you find a good professional support to help you get through this.
