> I bet he thinks I need some psychotherapy and is glad that I'll be seeing pdoc1 again for that.
Yep. But better still... Tends to be a combination of both.
They aren't a magic cure... But then... Neither is therapy. It is more about... Taking the edge off things for you. And over time... You will start figuring things out. But it is slow... Progress can seem slow sometimes. But yeah, it is normal to have ups and downs. And to think about 'bad' stuff. Which isn't so 'bad' really 'cause I think almost everybody thinks about it a little at times.
> He told me it was our last session and I don't want to bother him. I'm not doing horribly badly.
No you aren't doing horribly badly. You are doing fine. But if things do start to get a bit bad again... It shouldn't be all that hard for him to write you a script. He doesn't even have to see you for that really. Not if it is fairly much a continuation of what you were on before. In fact... Your GP might be able to write you a script. But... Thats only if you found some benefit to the medication of course. Sometimes it can be hard to figure how much that helped and how much we were just ticking along alright by ourself and we would have been doing that just fine even without the medication.
How come he stopped it?
> I think it is normal to not be super cheerful all the time.
Yep. Everybody has 'bad' days. And days that are just kind of flat.
