I know. Went to mental health today but all they can do is refer me to a therapist. They only provide psychiatrists for people who are psychotic, schizophrenic, or Bipolar I with history of hospitalizations. I'm very frustrated, they basically can't help me unless I am going to kill myself. I would have to attempt and go inpatient. I am supposed to see my primary doc and ask them for a specialty referral and wait around 2-4 months to be seen if I want to be on meds. I need help right now and no one will help me. I'll go see the T they referred me to, but on the med front I'm screwed I guess. I hope I don't go off the deep end and that I can keep coping with everything on my own.
