I really don't like the idea of another psychiatrist and meds but this has been going on for 2-3 months, lately the worst has been the last 2-3 weeks. I'm struggling to regain some kind of control. The urge to hibernate and isolate is SUPER STRONG! Thankfully, I have a much better support system(of friends), so I haven't been allowed to just lay around the house and sink deeper. Anyone got any tips for coping until I can find a psychiatrist? I will see my therapist on Oct. 16. Not sure about the psychiatrist yet as far as a timeframe.
Thanks.

My advice would be to talk to your primary care physician to see if she can help. In my area it is quicker to get into a pdoc if you are referred by a doctor rather than self refer. They might also be able to get you started on a medication.
If that is not an option, we have people ho into the ER and explain the situation. At least in my area they can often start medications especially if your previous medications worked.
