Gosh Kim! That was quite an experience! I know doctors slap that Bipolar and depression diagnosis on so many people. I am a recovering alcoholic and I see so many people come in the AA and NA program who have been diagnosed bipolar .....especially the ones who are also hard drug addicts. A lot after a year of not drinking or drugs, they have leveled off a bit. There is so much misdiagnosing going on. I believe for insurance purposes has a lot to do with it. Physcians here in the states do get a cut for prescribing certain meds from the pharmaceutical companies. The companies market to the physicians......golf outtings, beach trips, etc. and people do work with PTSD.....Ive been working for years! Its one way I ran from myself with working too much. I was laid off for a few months at the end of January and it was nice at first but I dont function to well when I dont have some "have to do" stuff. Which then I went overboard there too after I went back to work...again running trying to hide from the pain. In the meantime of being laid off, I lost my insurance. I have been blessed with a therapist who only charges me 10 bucks a visit! It probably just does pay for her gas to get to her office and back in one day cuz I know she lives about 30 minutes away and her husband drives her in his Dodge truck which is a gas guzzler. She is also blind is why her husband drives her so I know she is more intuitive to my voice. She even made special Saturday sessions since I worked out of town during the week.From all this I know she is there not for the money, she is there because she wants to be.

Keep looking for another therapist since you arent comfortable with this one. I wouldnt be either if one is not taking in what I am saying. To some doctors, we are just another warm body....to others we are souls who need healing on the inside.

Time for me to fix dinner too!
