My psychiatrist is only making appointments for Mondays and Wednesdays.

I have a full workload those two days. This means that the last time I will see her is March 6.

Her people cannot schedule an appointment for earlier unless I can do a Monday / Wed.

I put in a call to the Therapist I last saw a year and a half ago.

Don't they have any wiggle room for urgent , possible crisis cases, or to squeeze someone in for a quick appointment?
Can you email your psychiatrist or office staff and tell them how you are feeling right now?

yes email them and let them know you need to see them.
sorry you are having this happen to you. You certainly don't need more depression to deal with.

Mdoc cannot do anything. I have not tolerated ANY of her meds.
We tried lots of meds over a 12+ month period and each one had unbearable
side effects.


Old tdoc called me back but will call again about insurance.
She did not help me much when I was seeing her. She and I talked about
happy things because that is what she wanted to hear.
^^^
It sounds nuts when I say that, but it is true about the "happy" therapy sessions.

Late Thurs afternoon I drove to the beach. It was windy and cold but helped.
Then I went to my friend's house for a few hours and got back home late.

Go to the beach more often. I think you gain strength there...

A tdoc who only wants you to talk about "happy things"? I think that defeats the purpose of therapy, especially now when you could use someone who will let you address your fears...

But you do need to see someone before March 6th.

It is a shame that your pdoc can't squeeze you in much sooner... most pdocs would be able to make that happen. Would you be comfortable asking her to refer you to someone she respects and thinks would be a good fit for you, and has more availability?

I'm glad that going to the beach helped a little.
I hope you find more sources of comfort and start feeling better, Mari :hug::hug::hug:
