6. I'm hopeful my therapist will agree to referring me to someone who can see me earlier.

There are NINE MDs and PAs who can do these reviews. The one he wants me to see is 80 years old and has cut his hours way back. I'm at the point where I'll take ANYONE. MD, PA, I don't care. I just need some oversight from someone who isn't dismissive. I'm at the point of just heading to a local dispensary and getting my medical cannabis card.

Which brings me to another weird thing with this APN. I was handed a bunch of paperwork to fill out, between appointments, last year. One part had to do with agreeing to not use such things as cannabis while prescribed anti depressants, anti anxiety medication and agreeing to be tested any time they request. FINE. I can do that. I filled it in, signed it, and brought it back with me to my next appointment. When I handed it to the APN she got upset, saying I wasn't suppose to fill that out. She was. Then WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GIVE IT TO ME AND TELL ME TO COMPLETE IT!!!?!?! That's the pattern with her. Noting I do is right. Nothing I say has any merit. Anything I suggest is ludicrous. I'm not stupid. Far from it. But I leave there feeling like a complete loser.

I know she will be upset I waited so long to set up an appointment, but it might just be time for me to tell her why.
