Hey everyone,

I have always hated waiting for as long as I can remember. But today, it is EXTRA stressful.

I am waiting to hear back to see if I can get a new doctor that would be less expensive and convenient - the social worker at the place sent the paperwork but said she didn't know if I would be eligible because I am not a part of any of the programs they offer. SHE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME, UGH.

And the WORST part; I am waiting on some money to be refunded to me. This is KILLING me. I keep logging in my bank to see if the money is available every ten minutes. It's not just that I want to spend some, I need to switch banks with my whole new debt consolidation program and I would LOVE to get that done today and not have to wait till Monday.

All I know is I am REALLY anxious. For the first time in my life I feel "stuck" and absolutely crippled by this. I can't watch TV, I can't play a game, and most of all I can't concentrate on my schoolwork that's due in two days. I am so stuck in a loop and I can't seem to get past it. I can feel my body stiff and in pain.

HELP!!!!

I hate waiting too, especially when I have plans to move forward with things.....but said plans depend on getting things or confirmation from some thrird party who doesn't much care about it.

Absolutely!! I have to say, I took a long shower and it made me feel a lot better. Just gotta get my mind off things, and hang in there I guess.

Thanks Nammu.

I hate feeling like I have no control. It's one of the reasons I try to stay clear of anything that involves other people. I just know it will end up being one big frustration. I'm glad your shower helped.

I'm glad the shower helped a bit. I hate waiting too. Sending hugs

Aw thanks! Oh, I know I HATE it too. The good news is, I heard back from the lady at the new doctor. I can go ahead with changing doctors so I can save some money. YAY! The refund STILL hasn't gotten into my account yet, UGH!!

Thanks for the hugs. The shower did help A LOT. I am just really on edge still because the money hasn't gotten to my account yet. Trying to stay calm though!!

Glad the shower helped - good coping! I get like this too. The obsessive checking is very familiar. When I start doing it a lot I know it’s time for a Med change.

Hey WC!!

Things improved since I wrote this post, I got my money and everything worked out but had major anxiety at the beginning of last week walking around with all that money. Finally got the finances squared away, and ended up with a new therapist so I am going to stay at my old center and not change doctors.

Everything got better, and I am working on learning to have patience.

Thanks for checking in!!

How are you??

Congrats on everything getting better.

I would be stressed out in that situation too. Glad you're all set.
