I am on a waiting list for a mental health clinic that will take on new patients and give you a full mental evaluation but my Gp says it can take up to a year. I see a Naturopath on my own and she is like a therapist she is more of a life coach to me than a holistic doctor and she has told me she would never ever ask me to go off of my medication so she understands that my illness is not something a supplement can "cure" . My appointments with her are incredibly helpful but she too comes with a heft price per session so I can only see her every few months.
I am in the process of looking for another job and had some interviews last week. I will be hearing back this week if I was hired so fingers crossed. I have been tracking my moods with an 'emoods' app on my phone as well as a journal. I am also going to contact the Pdoc I was seeing in College and see if he has any connections in my current location.
Thanks for the support guys, I hope to get to know you all in our own time

I also live in Canada, in a big city at that and it had been impossible for me to get a pdoc. I had to wait years and years. Apparently they are in short supply.
I also wanted to comment on you going to see a naturopath. I will be doing the same as well. I'm actually looking forward to it, keeping an open mind to whatever they suggest. I most definitely will be trying acupuncture, not only for my BP but other ailments. Good luck on the job situation
