Have you tried getting in touch with your Psychiatrist's nurse? That's usually a lot quicker. You could share you difficulties with her, which she will pass onto your P doc. He can then decide what can/should be done to help you through this time.

Gentle hugs to you ~ take care! And try not to think about your friends tough times too much, that can cause a lot of excessive stress and nervousness as your mind begins to imagine more.
