Thanks, everyone. It has been a week. I've been struggling with my therapist's upcoming retirement, and taking a grief and loss class that is triggering. I called my doctor's office asking about increasing my Zoloft yesterday. My doc is out of town, and the on-call psychiatrist who was covering apparently got very concerned about something, and insisted that I come to her office for an hour-long appointment first thing on Monday. Her nurse left me a voicemail saying that I have to go to the ER over the weekend if my symptoms increase. I'm worried that this doctor that I've never met is going to try to hospitalize me, which I don't think is necessary at this point. I know I can be stubborn about this kind of thing, but I think I'm pretty clear about what I need and don't need. And I have been asking for help: this week I saw my therapist twice, made some calls about therapy groups, and called about the med increase. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to be doing!

Oh, and my lower back went out yesterday (which happens about once a year, usually when I'm stressed), and I am in a LOT of pain with that.

Anyway, thanks for listening.
