Cindy,
Haven't heard from you in awhile and wanted to check in and see how you're doing? When you get a few minutes drop me a line or two, or three, or four....well, you get the idea.
Hugs,
Greg

> GregGreg, thanks for your caring and concern! I put a post above but nobody ever answered. Am doing OK, except that I'm afraid of going to my next pdoc appt. Between the rash that may be from the Effexor-XR, feeling like a failure for not yet filing for a divorce which my pdoc told me to "just do," and his criticism that I should file because I'm "sleeping with another man" (see my above post for clarification), I feel like a real s**t. Plus nobody answered my post before...which made me feel like maybe everybody was being critical, and were just being nice and not responding at all. Don't know yet if I'll cancel my pdoc appt., call him up and tell him I'm never coming back (at my appt. time), or just go in and talk to him about it. He's really been helpful...guess I just have difficulty when he's being confrontive and he's right. Hope things are going OK for you! Hugs, CindyW

Cindy,
One of the most helpful sessions I had with my last pdoc was one where I (with alot of help and some roleplaying) finally discussed some of my doubts and dissatisfactions with him. That session proved to be useful not only in my work with him, but has helped me be more open with my current pdoc. I'm also going to have a similar discussion with my primary care doc. I would really rather just move on, but both my therapist and pdoc insist that she deserves to be asked about my concerns and given a chance to explain herself before I give up. I guess I will try to put my assertiveness training (all sixty-leven sessions) to work. I know when I got fired last, I was most upset that my boss used a memo instead of doing it face to face. This sounds like a real, if painful, opportunity for growth whatever you decide to do after this session.
I have also felt invisible, even unreal, when my posts are not responded to time after time. Quilter

> I have also felt invisible, even unreal, when my posts are not responded to time after time. QuilterQuilter, you are probably right, that I should go talk to my therapist before giving up. It's scary though to go back. I've told him things I've never even told my s.o. or best friends. I care deeply about what he thinks about me and feel I've failed him if I can't just do what he suggests. But I will probably go back. You're right about feeling invisible when nobody responds.--Cindy W., invisible with a scarlet A on her forehead
