Yeah, you're right about the doc and the staff having to juggle with other people's needs. That's why i'm worried about calling to ask about samples and referral. They'll have to take extra, unplanned time to look into it for me.

However, I will call and ask. I guess if it's that big of a deal and a problem to find out for me, they'll just schedule me for another appointment.

You're lucky to have someone who understands and supports you.

I'm just really frustrated with my mom. I thought she'd be a little more understanding or something, especially since she's working on a master's in social work. It's not the same as psych, but still.

And, thanks for your response...it's helped a bit
