Therapist/Psychiatrist is Retiring!

[Naiwen]

My therapist who is also my psychiatrist is retiring on September 15th 2022. I wish him good luck in his retirement and to enjoy it fully and wholly, but I'll miss him. And I'm on the waiting list for a new one as he has cancelled all my appointments with him so yeah. I dunno who my next one will, female or male, know nothing about him/her. I'm a bit stressed out and anxious about it TBH. What about you? Do you have a therapist/psychiatrist/dr retiring?

My GP recently retired. I wasn't even aware of it until I got a notification about being assigned to another M.D. which took over her practice. I haven't even met the new doctor yet.

I've never even been to a therapist / psychiatrist, much less been assigned to one. In my country, seeking professional help when dealing with mental health issues is seen as a sign of weakness. People mock and ridicule those who seek help, talk about them behind their back and generally treat them as damaged goods, like a struggling animal who should be put out of their misery with a bullet to the head.

Having history of mental health problems even bars you from getting certain jobs, even if you're perfectly fine now and have no other health obstacles.
