[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 225405, member: 3419"] [I]Of course, that was insinuating that I would be refusing treatment if I didn't consent to this medication. Then today, I remembered that is exactly how I ended up consenting to the prozac. It was this same sw who said the same thing to me almost 3 years ago when that psychiatrist suggested prozac. Maybe all these medications are the right answer, but I'm tired of feeling pressured into things.[/I] I think this is a microcosm of the whole thing. They only have one song to sing and that's it. Then they repeat it. Ad nauseum. And you feel pressured into doing it. I would be pulling my hair out. Then I'd start on their hair! As frustrating as it sounds, you're going to have to be Machiavellian about all this. Marg is right in saying: [I]the more specialised an expert is, the more chance there is they will be unpleasant and patronising, and because the more specialised the more scarce, the more you will have to tolerate this and be patient. However, over time as you 'cultivate' this person, you can groom them to your standards and make it clear what you want from the relationship especially as it concerns your child's care.[/I] I was up at 5 a.m., and I don't have half the things on my mind that you do! It's hard not to let things get to us. You sound like you've thought this through, but more like you've rewound the tape with-o finding the direction you want to take. Are you still working? I would hang onto my job with-my fingernails, just to keep that ins. Please try to get some sleep tonight. I'm sending fluffy pillows and soothing vibes. [/QUOTE]
