Yesterday, I made a significant personal decision. I won't be going to my therapist anymore. It is time to find a new therapist because the old one fell into a rut of trying to get me onto her preferred medication list, and I felt like nothing more than a revenue stream for her. 

After my first 2-3 visits, the focus shifted to how much stuff she could have me take. The conversation always revolved around that. I have never been to a therapist before, but I don't feel comfortable around her anymore. I need someone new who is willing to help me make progress. 

I will address the situation with my new PCP tomorrow during my routine visit. My new doctor is part of a large hospital, and I'm sure that there are plenty of counselors and therapists that she can recommend for me to choose from. But that is tomorrow. 

Today is another opportunity to get out and enjoy some good January weather. As always, we take necessary precautions to avoid covid 19 by wearing masks in public places and wiping our hands with sanitary wipes after touching anything. After all, neither of us wants to get sick.

I hope that my new PCP can recommend a good therapist tomorrow. I need a change.
