I had a terrible week at work like a bad nightmare. I found some old citalopram that I had squirreled away and took about 40mgs. Feeling spacey now. Kind of pissed at my medical team--my MD never has time for an appointment and the young psychiatrist I met with was expensive and useless. I feel like I'm becoming medically depressed again. I'm much more open right now to the idea of medication because every day I cry and the crying doesn't make me feel better. Work just makes me feel constantly angry.

Even for those of us w/a decent salary and health insurance, psychiatric care and options really really suck. Hospital care for a crisis is horrible and traumatizing. Yes I feel like I am heading towards needing crisis help. Any ideas?
Maybe a new MD or pdoc? If you need meds, please get them. In my experience it is better to get the meds as an outpatient.

What about community mental health? Not a great option, but around here they will happily put you on meds. Then see your MD or pdoc for follow-up?

Sorry to hear you feel a crisis looming. Hang in there.
Thanks for this!
