ktbug,
I was hesitant going to our community mental health center....fear of it being less quality....wow was I surprised. They have grant money that helps out the patients far beyond what the private mental health organizations do. They are really there to help & not just to get a high paying job like some (who claim they are there to help, but won't take less money from those who aren't able to pay).
I have the best psyhologist & also a therapist (not a case worker) who comes out to my house & helps with some if the issues I am dealing with here so my psyhologist can work in the deeper issues I have going on. They also have pdoc's (who can prescribe meds) available.
The good thing about the community mental health care is that they will look after the whole of your metal health needs.....it is definitely the best place to go to to get the help you need.
It is horrible feeling bad & knowing how bad you are feeling & not knowing where & what to do about it. Meds from a pdoc can be a good thing is stabalizing how you are feeling. Therapy with a Therapist, social worker, or psychologist, is good for working through the things that are bothering you & working on how we react to them.
Give yourself a gift & get an appointment with them.....I think you will find it very worthwhile....good way to start the new year.
