I know I need to go see someone, hopefully be correctly diagnosed, and get the appropriate treatment I need, but don’t know where to go.

Since all the other times I have been through this, I needed meds and therapy helped, I figured to find a psychiatrist to get the diagnosis and meds then a T for the talk time. Well, I looked up my insurance to find who they cover. The first 2 I called the numbers are disconnected, the next has a waiting list and won’t see anyone for at least 3 months. NOT going to help my quasi-crisis now. Definitely not helping my depression and feelings of being worthless. The others are all tied to a hospital and don’t seem to take outside patients.

I just cannot seem to get my brain to be quiet, make a decision on what to do now, or feel like there is hope. Everyone who knows me just sees the facade I portray and expect me to be the one who can do it all and with a smile on my face. Pretty scary that I actually feel the exact opposite.

I guess I just needed to be able to let out these feelings of frustration so they don’t add to everything else that is going on.

You are doing all the right things. Keep plugging along. Hugs for your day.
Thanks for this!
