Positive experience
 

Well with a little coercion I had to bite the bullet today and see my new doctor (who was recommended by my partner's friend, a psych nurse).

He turned out to be lovely - not at all focused on si, more wanting to fix the underlying problem itself, which is exactly how I see it!

I'm back on meds at a higher dose so hopefully things will improve once they get floating round my system in the next few weeks :-)

Still worried about surgery next week, but feeling so much more positive after finally finding a doctor who knows his stuff and doesn't make me feel like a failure!

So for those of you who have crap doctors (like I used to), there is hope! :thumbup:

I am really glad that you had a positive experience with this doctor. I hope things start improving for you and good luck with your surgery
Take care xxx

that's good that you have found a nice doctor. may he be doctoring for many years to come. mand x

Yes i totally Agree!!!!!

Your doc is right too!! No one should try to "fix" self harm without getting to the cause also!!!

Well done you!

Love and a spoon with goose moose on it

p.s. loved the corsette btw!!! growl!

hehehe yeah I loved the corset too ;-)

He's easily the best doctor I've ever seen for depression, didn't make me feel stupid for coming off meds, or tell me I need to try harder or anything helpful *ahem* like that :-)

I am definitely keeping this one!

Really pleased for you
