Bless your heart. I'm sorry you're feeling so badly. Personally I prefer psychologists because they give you feedback. Every single psychiatrist I've been to just SITS there and grunts. I got NO feedback from any of them. NONE. BUT the one pro about a psychiatrist is that they CAN prescribe medication and you just might need some. A psychologist cannot prescribe.
So talk with your medical doctor -- your family doctor, and get a referral to probably a psychiatrist. He will know a good one to send you to. Try to get in as soon as possible, although that might be difficlt. But these sessions WILL help you greatly and you will NOT regret it. Keep in mind that it will get painful at some point, but you have to go thru the bad stuff to get to the good stuff.  Also, if he prescribes medication it will take about 6 weeks for it to begin working. Most docs don't tell you that. And do NOT stop taking it abruptly or you will put yourself in DANGER. They are very dangerous meds and bad things can happen if you stop them quickly.
I wish you the very best. God bless and PLEASE let us know what happens, ok? Keep posting too -- update us. Hugs, Lee
