Roxie i've been seeing a Psythiatrist for 15 yrs,for a variiety of reason's.
It started after my son had cancer,I was a rock when he went through
it. But he got through the scary things, I went to pieces and fell apart.
This was not helping anyone,so my primary Dr. said try it ,or at least
a Psychologist,good advice..Because I thought I had to do something,
believe it or not parents of sick children stay together but many don't..Our
marriage was getting not so good..I liked both,but perfered the Psychologist
the talking, I would come out exhausted the Dr. and I would talk and it
helped with the anxiety and panic attacks that started with this..
Insurance wouldn't pay anymore,and said I would have to see a Psychiatrist.
I did. Roxie I think it's a good idea..Also if needed more people get help
with disability ,I always thought they had more patience with the paper
work..But my daugther-in-law said ' that people willl think i'm crazy,
Who cares you and I know you wore out and the Dr. is paid to listen..Ask
your Pharmacist,prmary,Dr. or friends,you sound like you know what
you need..

I hope there is someway your work can help you out. And a Psychihiatrist
is not going to solve your problems,but will help you do that,help you
think things through. Bring up your fears ect.and with there help may
help you get on with you life..And no you don't have to go for 15 yrs. lol
Oh be sure you let the Dr. Psych.your problem with meds.and know your
Med. problems.

They are just letting phd's in some states write scripts because there is
a shortage a Psychihatrist in many states. But they would have to have
at least a masters Degree...Lots of luck Sue pm if you need to.
