I saw my therapist today. And we discussed a lot of this, although not all of it (ran out of time). She recommended that I consider short term meds again. Unfortunately, the thought of going on meds causes me anxiety too. There is a two to three month wait to get into my Dr right now so I'm not sure what to do about that either. I might have to move to a different dr. I'm also uneasy about being prescribed anxiety meds by a MD or Physician's Assistant, but don't really want to see a psychiatrist either. The cycle of worry and overthinking begins.....
