I can call and get an appointment if I need to for the 2nd week but I'm not sure if there is a point. I so wish I'd tried harder to get in with my therapist's first choice sub. But I didn't and so I just have to make it through. 5 more weeks. Only one more session with temporary therapist unless something changes.


I don't know if I didn't follow her if she tried to help with the anxiety or if she knows my therapist helps by distracting me sometimes or what but this just didn't help.

I am going to contact my pdoc. I was supposed to every few weeks anyway while I don't have my therapist plus she said she'd be there for support if needed. And I think I may need some kind of med adjustment although I'm not sure. I feel somewhat depressed but I'm also tired from not sleeping well. I hope she's got a good idea.

So frustrated.......
Sorry you’re struggling :sadhug; I hope your pdoc is able to help. I know how disappointing it can be going into a therapy appointment struggling and it not helping
