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
Hey

Im brain zapping but if you are in the USA a medical provider ( pdoc) has to continue to provide medication refills and appts if need be for at least 30 days while you try to find some one new. T's also have to follow that guideline also.

I hope your session with your T was helpful
