I think i got a psychiatrist. a woman named anna wachlel at 11:30 on friday

I am still jumping out of my skin. The secretary said I had to pay copays. She knew I had aarp supplemental plan. I called them to make sure they pay copays.maybe it was ignorance on the part of the secretary. I am so stressed and so anxious but my stomach feels better. I rode the bike for 15 minutes which helped. I really terrified myself last night with my thoughts

When you get there, tell the secretary to bill the supplemental plan. The information should be on the back of your card. And tell her that if for some reason they won't pay, have them bill you.

I'm so glad you got a new psychiatrist!
It's great that you got an appointment so fast!
I think having a woman may work out better for you. Of course it depends on the woman tho.

15 minutes on the bike is great!!!
Mari is right... staying active helps the brain, especially memory.

I'm so sorry that your thoughts terrified you
That is happening to me right now, too

When do you get your new computer?

they took my medicare and aarp supplemental plan but on the website it doesn't mention medicare. I called to double check but haven't gotten a call back. when I called I told them that I needed a medicare doctor.
the computer came. I don't when robert will install it. I am worried about all the passwords. I changed a lot of them and wrote them down and then printed it out. It is stressful. my stomach still aches and my anxiety is through the roof.

Good luck with the new psychiatrist.

Usually if you lose your password, there's a link you can click on so they can send you an email so you can reset it. I hope you don't have to deal with too much of that tho

I hope Robert can set up the new computer for you soon

I think everything with the psychiatrist will work out

Do you think that your stomach problems are related to stress and anxiety, or from something else? I get physically ill from my anxiety.

I am sure it was stress. Robert will do it in his time. It takes a lot of time. I changed a lot of the passwords now but one needs the old password which I didn't seem to write down or remember. It is still a lot of stress.
Last night again and I was so very depressed. I have tears in my eyes. I am still obsessed with jury duty and I couldn't find a reason for living. Then I said I have my cats and I love them and take care of them. I have two friends who I am very supportive of and listen to their worries. One has breast cancer. I am supportive of Cecilia who is always worried that her cancer it coming back.I have a best friend Alice who pays my rent and just rejoined her choir because she said that she had become at times depressed and needed a sense of community and you guys who I always read.
My back is better from riding the bike which I plan now to do twice a day. Zeynep said it is also good for boosting good cholesterol.
I am scared about the new psychiatrist and rehashing a lot of painful s@#t.
I can't tell if the new antidepressant would be working better if I didn't have so much stress going on and Pudge's being sick but now fine. I think it is helping my appetite. I got on the scale and saw I lost a few more pounds and lower than I have been in a year. I am only eating one veggie burger a day.

cecilia just left. we talked about her childhood and how cruel her parents were.she thinks her mother constantly had postpartum depression having so many children close together. she said once she felt her father was going to kill her because he used to beat her at her mother's instigation.
She relieved me. she said if this psychiatrist doesn't work out I should go to the karen horney clinic for therapy and they have a psychiatrist who prescribes medication.

I don't think i want therapy. already had a lot of it. I don't think the psychiatrist will just give me drugs. I wish I were on risperdal again

so ask to be put on it again!
