I can see why you're angry at your pdoc, but I hope it won't irritate you so much if I wonder whether you might be reacting very strongly, given the situation.

It seems precipitous to stop seeing your pdoc and to stop taking meds, both drastic steps that should be thought out and carried out carefully and with help, because of the incident that you decsribed.

I understand not liking meds, and being frustrated with yourself for being late to an appointment, and then being chastised for it. But maybe he had something in mind. If he is someone you usually like, and get along with, maybe there's more to what he was saying-- especially since you want to go so far as to break off all contact, and stop taking meds--even if you don't like what he said or how he said it.

I would be concerned it would be a mistake if you stopped everything at once. Relapses, and even the rebound intensifying of bad feelings and symptoms, can be difficult to remember-- or to deal with once they happen.

I sense that you resent something-- whether it's the 15 minutes, the other woman coming out of his office, something that happened in the prior appointment, or something in yourself-- I dont know -- but why do you shut down? Why move so rapidly in the opposite direction of a course that you've laid out and followed this far-- (no matter what doubts you may have had about it). So I'm just -- concerned.
