Hope you find the help you seek.

These symptoms that change so much are challenging for the strongest and most sane as well.

Thanks for your input. My curiosity was seeing posters refer to seeing their "shrink". Just wasn't sure if they are referring to a counselor, psychiatrist, etc.

Well I know I need to go and when I can transport myself again I will find the one that can also prescribe meds

And yes....I'm thinking this will be a process of quite a few years.

I had counseling as a teenager and it did me a lot of good.

I have so much bottled up that I just need to 'pour' out to someone. And I'd rather that someone be qualified to try and sort some of this out for me.

I'm just a mess at this point

When you're family and friends can no longer tolerate the moaning and complaining, it's nice to have someone who will listen in an outwardly non judgmental way. Even if it is their job.
