It's been a tough transition. While the psychiatrist is awesome, he's a busy dude and I rarely get to see him. In order to start seeing a licensed therapist I had to stop seeing a counselor I had built up a really good rapport with over the course of many years. First therapist didn't click. It was a matter of advice, personality, and infrequent visits hindering the best chance of success. Fortunately I'm off to see a new one here in a few weeks. Just a shame in took like six months to figure out this was the course of action to go.

The mental health profession is understaffed and at times seems too clinical and ridged. I'll keep trying though.
