Dr.Moussavian is going to get me a new therapist...maybe a young male...
I explained to him that my current one reminds me of my parents with her lack of empathy and i don't want to work it out. I did tell him that she didn't seem to know that these drugs can cause weight gain and diabetes. His eyes looked a little shocked when i told him that when i complained about weight she said to go to a doctor and he would give me a pill.
He also put me back on welbutrin. I had a bad experience with it years ago but he says that changes.

I told him he was a treasure and wished him a happpy birthday. he seemed pleased that i remembered.

Dear Bobby,

I'm so so so glad you talked to Dr. Moussavian and he is coming through for you and getting you a new therapist. I hope he has/had a GREAT birthday too... lol! That man's a gem! (And good job remembering).

Good luck with the Wellbutrin also. I had two very different experiences with Wellbutrin... I hope it works out well for you this time. I know it can be a wonderdrug - for me it was the first time i took it. Oh, and, btw, it might have an effect on weight: tends to reduce appetite with possible weight loss!

let us know when you will have your first therapy appointment with... the new person to be.

love

Dear Bobby,

Thank goodness Dr. M stepped in and helped.
Maybe the next therapist can actually be helpful -- beyond the hoops that you need to jump through simply to see Dr. M.
Good luck with the Wellbutrin.

M.

Thats great Bobby. A very Happy Birthday to him certainly.

Dear Bobby,
I think it is fantastic that you spoke up about your therapist. Good for you and am so glad that he is willing to help you get a new one.
I am hoping that you do not experience any problems with the welbutrin this time...will you know soon if it is going to work out for you.... side effects etc or will it take awhile?
keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Were you able to talk to robert?

Dear Bobby,
I wonder how you are doing?

Do you have a new therapist?
Is the Wellbutrin helping you?

I hope that you are ok.

M.

thanks for asking. ..a lying down disaster. i have sort of become antisocial. I forgot the song about worms about going into the garden and picking them up and eating them. My parents loved me but they treated me so harshly most of my life and i learned very well to treat myself harshly. Add that to bipolar and you have quite a mix. I have been dwelling a lot on death on a lot.
I got sick last week. what a joke. I had to miss Dr. M.'s appointment. I finally got excited over something ,qi dong ,and hoped that would bring me out of this long time depression and possibly help my energy. Now I have to miss this class. I probably have to see a heart doctor and a lung doctor because of shortness of breath when i walk a little bit...really depressing. I have been getting easily irritated at people who are basically so very kind to me...how can I be like this? I have had trouble reading the forum and responding. I wanted to write to you and say have you the combination of magnenium calcium and five m. of melatonin a half an hour before bed time? I couldn't get myself to do it.
I don't know if I did the right thing but dr.m. told my therapist EVERYTHING i told him ......i couldn't believe it....even about having the doctor giving me a pill to lose weight...she didn't remember that but said she must have meant an appetite suppressant because if there was a pill she would take it too.
She apologized and said she would try harder and that she was very sorry.
She said was not empathic I shouldimmediately tell that she wasn't being empathic. I causually told her I was a reject.
We will see
Bobby

oH BOBBY,
this does not sound good.
I am sorry that you are so unwell.
Do look into your physical medical problems they effect everything that is going on with you.
I was shocked that he told her everything that you said.

I am so scared of doctors Bizi. I am so scared of pain and I always think the worse. Once I experienced being badly burned I became irrational.
bobby
ps yes I was so shocked they he told her everything. He is really in my corner. I couldn't believe it. He is so intelligent. I started the session with what did dr. Moussavian tell you. I wonder if my eyes opened wide. I certainly didn't expect what she said.

I am glad that he is in your corner,
we are rooting for you too,
post when ever you are able...we miss you when you are quiet.
