I miss my former psychiatrist

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Note: this is partly about Corona virus pandemic and some thoughts about psychiatry in relation to the pandemic. Kind of off-topic, but it’s related to Covid-19 also. Health care was the main things that affected my life in particular during pandemic.

As I said in earlier post my Swedish psychiatric doctor could not travel to Norway for his usual office appointments for over a year. But we had call appointments instead and we spoke once every month through this year of big changes.

I really honestly miss him a lot, my current psychiatrist has not spoken with me for several months and my mental health is suffering so it’s not good. They also are very different doctors in general, he was less authoritarian and more compassionate with my perspective. But I truly hope my current psychiatric doctor will be there now when I need help with the treatments I need to function. And I like having a good relationship with my doctors and health-care workers, so I try and see the positive in every person.

Minor surgery in Corona virus times

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Note; I don’t know if it’s very relevant to the question asked

I had several surgeries on my foot in 2020 (as well as 2018 and 2019 btw) and I got the first in February and the next surgery in September before my last time in December 2020. It’s not major surgery but major pain still, I have to use strong pain medication for a week after the medical prosedyre at least.

I did heal well from the surgery with good help from wounds specialised nurses and that is a true blessing ❤
