Friends' quest update

Someone on Reddit, not being xxx, pointed me to a FB I joined and was approved the next day. I posted my bio spiel (have it down pat now) and got about 15 responses of similar women near me. Just PMing one about our cats.

Still feeling bad about being dumped by "Irene" and the retirement, pending, of my beloved psychiatrist. I'm very sensitive to rejection and abandonment. Also getting ready for a test of this scary, long-time abdominal pain problem.


Feeling overwhelmed and depressed today. I was literally making housing-situation decisions predicated on staying his patient. I asked him several yrs ago about his retirement, and he responded as if that was a long, long way off and not to worry about it.
So, thus my shock. Shit changes, of course. Hoping I'll be okay. SO not wanting to hear me "obsessing" about it. I have to hear his political rants, however. Ty for reading

1. I wish I had something great to say.

But I can only let you know that you have us here. And, I will always have lunch with you!

(Between us, we may end up having some plain bread and water thanks to gastro-intestinal issues, but it will still be lunch dammit!)

3. Is there a chance your current psychiatrist ...

… will help you transition to a new psychiatrist when the time comes? By that I mean he could refer you to someone and you could see if you liked them before you officially become their patient. Or, is it hard to find a psychiatrist in your area? It is where I live.

5. Oh my, that's a shame!

I’ve been seeing my psychiatrist monthly for over ten years … I’m bipolar and depend on him to help keep my moods even. I understand your feeling of panic.
