Oh dear, I extend a hug and knowledge you are in my thoughts. I don't like to see people anguished or run down.

I come to this late and without asking the particulars would like to address the therapist situation. I gather you have moved into a different health region and find yourself forced to obtain a new therapist. I can think of several options out there that could assist you. First off do either you or your husband have an EAP. This is a really good resource that many either don't use at all or are even unaware they have one. Second, does your new community have a 'centralised intake'? Is there likely to be a mental health association in your community? They would be likely to have a list of therapists and psychiatrists taking new patients. What about a family doctor? Have you found one yet? Even GPs at a walk-in clinic can make a referral and start the ball rolling. If you are really stuck, many social workers offer counselling services which may be a good stop-gap measure until you find yourself a therapist. And finally, I have found my support group to be a great resource for mental-health professionals. Participants can offer a wealth of important knowledge and feedback regarding their own mental healthcare providers.
Thanks for this!

Thanks everyone for the continued support, it means so much.

I have given up on finding a T at the moment as financially its just not an option anyway.

There are no support groups anywhere near me at all that can really help me with this as group therapy will I feel only increase my rage anger and hatred about this whole situation I am dealing with.

At this point I am just not able to be Verbal about it... Typing this thread has been just terribly hard and that's putting it mildly.

My husband has processed this much faster than I and trust me I am beyond grateful for his sake. I just dealt with things that he didn't have too.

So where does that leave me ? same place mentally as I was with what will be 4 weeks ago tomorrow.

Will I survive this ? Yes. I just want the nightmares to f****** stop somehow. Yes this is where Therapy could possibly be helpful I know.

So for now I try to keep busy and also post on PC to threads to maybe help someone else as its a good attempt to get out of my own head.

Thank you all again
