One simple question. Why doesn't my shrink "call me out?" I mean, he prescribes me Campral, which is for alcohol dependence, etc. He IS a certified board member of the society of American diplomates, or what have you. He IS an MD. He IS a psychiatrist. Yet he has NEVER, EVER, had the presumption to speak to me as most of you do! Can you see why I go mad here? You all have the cheap seats - the "I for never one day in my life have met Katie cheap seats!" Egads, enough already. I am here to talk for support, not for what passes as "tough love!"
