Hi, Abby @amberpep - I moved your post over here to where you'd talked about your fall and some doctor visits in VA, as this updates some of the members who were talking with you about some of these events. Hoping they will join in again about this letter you've now received about your psychiatrist moving on from the practice.

I'm truly sorry about losing your psychiatrist in MD and other unfortunate incidents since you've moved. Sounds like you're feeling a lot of loss, cumulatively, since the move.

You may be interested in looking at and perhaps participating in this previous discussion about losing a doctor here: https://mayocl.in/2HhTVbZ.

Sounds like you are not sure about finding a new psychiatrist where you are at now. Have you met anyone in VA who might recommend a psychiatrist who could be a possibility?

Hi Lisa .... I'm so sorry I put my posts in the wrong places. I never quite know where to put some of them. Interesting about meeting folks down here that could give me a referral. I live in a low income apartment complex and on my floor, there is a very elderly couple who can't hear, a woman who takes care of a disabled woman all week, and a couple where the wife has the mental capacity of a 12 year old ... she's 36. It's very sad, but very hard to talk with her. I've been to several churches, but not enough to make any real relationships. I'm Western Orthodox and there are none down here. I guess I should just pick the church I like the best and stick with it .... that's where I'll make some connections. But, it takes a long while to trust, especially about things such as this. Down here is a bit "back woods" - not nice to say, I know, but true. I well may get the label of "the crazy lady." We do have one woman below me who says people "come through the walls, use her bathroom and steel her food." That's scary. Yes, I should have never moved, but it's done now, so it's just put one foot in front of the other.
Thanks for helping me with my posts .... that is a difficulty for me.

@amberpep I totally get the picture...I stay in my apartment and gave up on any socializing. It could be worse.
