>>oh, we haven't heard in 40 mins,so i think that means they've been there to get ya!

25 points for the correct answer!

They took me in and had me evaluated. The plan is for me to start tomorrow, don't know yet if it is going to be the full day or the half day program, but I'm supposed to expect to be picked up tomorrow at 8:00am.

I am very glad about this, but still apprehensive.

As I guess all of you know, I'm working on a leap of faith here, as that is all we can really do sometimes with regard to depression.

I have so many stressors right now... unpaid bills, car repossesed, no transportation, keeping up... so of course what I really want is someone to make all those stressors GO AWAY!

Unless Oprah or Ty Pennington come to my house that ain't gonna happen, so I feel hopeless.

But the hope is that with some treatment I will be better able to cope with this stress and find some sort of solution, and that's where the leap of faith is. The solutions I will have will not be any different then the solutions I have available now... but hopefully my outlook will change and I will be able to see some of those as "successful" solutions rather than "hopeless" solutions.

It is still a scary proposition... but very glad that at least I am now "work-in-progress".

Much better than lying around in bed all day long.
