Bluesand,
If you feel like you need help sooner, call the place you made the appointment and see if they can put you on a cancellation list. The same thing happened to me and they ended up calling me like a week later and scheduling me in for the next day because they had a cancellation. If not, call around and see if you can't find someone who can see you sooner. Also, I don't know if your primary care doc knows you well, but sometimes if they know the situation, they can make a call to the pdoc and get you in sooner than you can get yourself in. What about therapy? Just a few suggestions. Hope this helps.
