[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 439597, member: 1514"] I dont like change...this I know about me. I loved my old therapist and she just had a way of working with me that helped me and she seemed to understand me. I dont think this guy does. He seems to think I have it more together than I think I do. He seems to want to stress the positives and while that is all well and good, I tend to really get irritated with that approach. I am so not into the power of positive thinking. I dont know if this is going to work. I have been seeing him now since...well, probably mid to late February and a ton of what I call surface stuff has gone on so we have just been talking about that. Also with him I have only been going every other week or so right now. Not a lot of time to get to know each other. Mostly we have talked about Keyana, the Easter fiasco at Jamie's, maybe something about how I met Joy...stuff like that. Nothing big. Oh...I tried to tell him the time before yesterday about how I was worried about my memory issues and he basically told me that he thought that it was probably my anxiety over Keyana leaving. Ummm...I have had issues with my memory for much longer than we even knew there was a possibility that Keyana would be leaving but he wouldnt even consider that. It has to be anxiety. yeah right. I dropped it. He also said he thought that a MRI would be the last thing I would need to do. More things like a neuropsychologist test should be first. Well that wont be happening...lol. I think its physical so a neuropsychologist wouldnt help a bit. He also said he likes to deal with things in the here and now rather than delving back into the past...well thats nice and all but I have junk that I still havent dealt with from back then. Sorry...Im complex. He also thinks I dont have borderline just bipolar and I manage wonderfully with it. No no no. Sorry. You are seeing the face I put on for people I am not comfortable with buddy. I dont know you well and I am not going to trust you for at least a good year or two. Look at what happened with the last therapist...she left me!!! I think I need someone else...maybe another female therapist. [/QUOTE]
