Well, I got my medication assessment appointment moved but only by 2 weeks.

So, mid-August instead of early September. I'm long past discouraged but what can I do. I am on a call list should there be a cancelation but who knows how many are in front of me on that list.

The biggest problem is my therapist wanted me to wait until I had this appointment before setting up my 'wellness' visit with my APN but my prescriptions need to be renewed so I'll have to set something up and hope she is in a better mood or has at least found some compassion. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best, she was at about a 2 during my 1st visit, and maybe a 5 at the 2nd, and that was after she supposedly was 'counseled' about being more sensitive to patients with anxiety. I'm due for that visit now but I honestly don't think I'm up to it. I'm afraid I'll melt down or lash out, neither of which is productive. Best case scenario is she's booked up until mid-August. Then I'll just request refills to tide me over.

I see my therapist again on the 3rd.

1. A therapist who needed to be counseled about

being more sensitive to patients with anxiety? Oh, dear lord.

2. She's not the therapist. She's my primary care Advanced Practice Nurse

She's the one who asked if I had a DNR on file with them because if I had a heart attack she'd be obligated to give me CPR and old bones are so fragile they fragment. And that since I'm in therapy, I should 'be over' my 'issues'. That is just a taste of my first visit with her. After that visit I was sent a 'How was your visit' survey and I answered it with brutal honesty. I was called twice and promised they would talk to her about my concerns.

The second one being slightly improved isn't saying much. Previously I was being seen by a great APN who always did her utmost to help me relax. She retired.

My therapist is great. He is VERY understanding and sympathetic.

3. I managed to misunderstand.

I apologize.

5. I am so sorry that you are going through this! *hugs*

I hope you can find a more understanding provider. I've lost my psych nurse and am worried about who I get next.

4. My Phd tells me my worry

Is going to kill me. I'm trying so hard not to worry. But due to a troubled home life, its very hard. Good luck
