My psychiatrist is "not doctoring" in 2025

My psychiatrist is "not doctoring" in 2025

"I am taking 2025 off doctoring."

/sigh

I don't know what to do any more 😞

The cracks are opening again and I feel like something terrible is about to happen. 😕

Oh dear @KirSa_EnigmA that would be my worst nightmare!!! Dis your pdoc offer an alternative pdoc for you? I can appreciate it is a very hard profession but it's also hard being a mh patient.

Sending kindest thoughts to you.

Re: My psychiatrist is "not doctoring" in 2025

hey @KirSa_EnigmA sorry to hear you have to deal with this. i know it can be really hard finding someone you feel comfortable with and are consistent with, and then suddenly having them leave - it's normal to feel scared and worried, i would too - please take your time in processing this.

it can be easy to be sucked into that worry spiral, but there are other options still!! like finding a new pdoc and seeing if your current pdoc can offer you an alternative one as @Eve7 mentioned.

i know it's unexpected, but just know we're sitting with you hun, we're here for you 💗

@rav3n @Eve7

Thank you for your kind words.

I can't say I've really worked through this yet, but nothing terrible has happend... so there is that.

I admit... I did throw my hands in the air and say "fuck it" and did some dumb shit because I had the whole "I don't care" "What difference does it make anyway" "Nobody cares" attitude.

I just wanted to take control back again, I guess. That's what they tell me anyway.

/sigh

Not wise choices.

I just wish little things like this didn't rock me so much.

I feel like I'm just holding on to stability while everything is pulling at me to be complete chaos... like an angry scribble on a page that explodes and takes everything in the universe with it.

ABSOLUTE CHAOS AND DESTROY EVERYTHING!

the alternative - holding things together, or even building something just seems so fruitless.

The universe is without soul and we're all so insignificant.

I think I'm pretty angry, ha!

I have lost some weight though... not eating as much. Prob a good things since I'm pretty fat anyway.

just thinking out loud here. thanks for reading.

Thank you @Eve7

Actually, I had a chat with one of the Sane counselors here this afternoon... and an appointment with the GP this morning. Both were a bit emotional, but productive. I won't go into details or discuss it at length since I'm in a better place right now and I don't wanna jinx it haha!

I appreciate the check in though. Yesterday sucked.

Thank you 🙂

I had it booked in already. One of the strategies I have in place these days. Seems it was good timing. I am actually not very good at seeking support in the moment. But, I do tend to be able to hang on for a day or two until the booked appointments come around. Regular checkins are a bit of a necessity these days I'm afraid. It's quite emasculating, but keeps me from a rapid decline that I might have if left to my own devices. /shrug
