Thanks for your posts, guys.

You have good points. I have major issues w/ rejection, so I guess that plays into my anger, hurt & frustration about the whole process.

I've had a dr. reject me before and it really, really hurt. She basically said to me (in so many words) that I had too many problems for her to treat...she didn't have enough expertise. I appreciate the honesty, but does it ever make me feel even more messed-up and hopeless. If a GP (specializing in CBT) can't help me, than who the hell can? I am still very, very hurt & frustrated from that - and that was four mos ago. It makes me feel as if my situation is completely hopeless & I'm just a useless piece of dirt, unworthy of any help at all.

It's not easy at all to ask for help, either. To have the courage to ask for help, go to an assessment appt & then be completely rejected.......not a good feeling at all. Makes me feel worse & disencourages me to ask for any help at all. ** SIGH **
