Hey Mitch. thanks, thats a good idea. Right now I go to county and I'm pretty limited on funds until I start working again. I need to start working again before I can see another dr. outside of this system. I don't know if I should try the referral and see the psychologist there- I might just get sent back to this same dr. I know there is one other pdoc that works at this clinic, but she is new, young and said already she wouldn't see me unless this pdoc 'signed off on me' or something.
Right now I'm a mess. I don't know what to take med-wise. I have a bottle of prozac, a couple pills of zoloft, and a prescription for an order of paxil I really can't afford to fill and a job waitressing I'm to start in two weeks that I won't be able to unless I get my body's anxiety attacks under control and get my head on a little straighter. I am trying to job hunt, too, because I really don't want to waitress for fear of this anxiety, and I have two weeks to come up with something different.
On the up-side, this thread has really helped me with something- I finally got off my butte and started with a volunteer program with a great agency that deals with sexual abuse, children/adults. I've been thinking of this for a long time and it fits in well with my major, but kept putting it off until I 'felt better' and had more time. Well, some of the early posts pointed out about 'getting out there' and doing the things you don't feel you can do- and you'll feel change .. . .So, tonight I go back in- right now I'm in an intense training program for this, so I'm not dealing with the clients yet. I need to get it together SOON so I can be able to be a help, not a basket case. I am thankful this thread was posted- it really gave me a shove.
