Oh dear, I extend a hug and knowledge you are in my thoughts. I don't like to see people anguished or run down.

I come to this late and without asking the particulars would like to address the therapist situation. I gather you have moved into a different health region and find yourself forced to obtain a new therapist. I can think of several options out there that could assist you. First off do either you or your husband have an EAP. This is a really good resource that many either don't use at all or are even unaware they have one. Second, does your new community have a 'centralised intake'? Is there likely to be a mental health association in your community? They would be likely to have a list of therapists and psychiatrists taking new patients. What about a family doctor? Have you found one yet? Even GPs at a walk-in clinic can make a referral and start the ball rolling. If you are really stuck, many social workers offer counselling services which may be a good stop-gap measure until you find yourself a therapist. And finally, I have found my support group to be a great resource for mental-health professionals. Participants can offer a wealth of important knowledge and feedback regarding their own mental healthcare providers.
Thanks for this!
