She thinks I need someone that has more availability to see me more frequently while adjustments are made to my medications...
It brought my mood entirely down. I searched for over hour looking at psychiatrist after psychiatrist trying to find one with appointments, near public transportation and that took my insurance. I was striking out and panicked. My pdoc, for whatever reason, made me feel the most comfortable i've felt with a mental health specialist. I really want to stick with her. She wrote me back again that we should still meet next week and discuss further.
I did some sudoku puzzles which really seem to calm me down, help me focus and bring me back.
I tried some sleep meditation but it still didnt work. This morning I feel calmer and a bit more normal. I have my therapist tonight so my anxiety is a bit high. But I'm hoping I can talk some things out with my therapist and discuss if i should really continue the search for a new pdoc...
I hope everyone has a happy hump day

Well, that's a major letdown, it seems (your pdoc). Her suggestion kind-of leaves you out in the cold.
