Don't know where else to put this.

Anyways, I am sort of stressed because well I have to set up direct deposit with SSI, I have been trying but they are hard to get ahold of so hard to know if they set it up yet since I gave them the info to do so...so I am just going to their office in the morning. Then I was supposed to have already seen my psychiatrist I am pretty sure but I am having difficulties getting an appointment...just get voicemail for the office and either am not getting or missing returned calls from leaving a voicemail...the management at the place I go to kind of sucks. Then on top of that my therapist is having a child so she'll be gone and I will be seeing someone else for that time and go from there.

So yeah just kind of stressing about having to sort all that out, also concerned of how it effects SSI. I don't want to look like I am not getting 'treatment' and thus am functional....when its more like its just inconsistent and I don't know quite what is going on with it...but uhh haven't even got to talk to the psychatirst about why I had to quit the celexa she prescribed and the therapy I get through this particular mental health center just isn't doing much so I constantly consider just ditching it(finding something else of course...but then what about the time in between that and finding something else to try?) There are some other things stressing me some but I'll keep it somewhat simple and basically these particular things on top of other stuff going on is quite overwhelming since I at least want to feel I got the SSI worked out and don't have to worry about losing it all the sudden over some stupid hidden policy I don't know about but I don't even feel that is secure which is very frusterating and makes other things hard to deal with since I feel I can't even assume I will have my sad little income to fall back on for any length of time(though that is probably unfounded and ridiculous)....anyways I just hate how I can feel that it physically effects me.

I am a constant worrier. My brain just goes from one to another and drives crazy. I take medication that helps. I know I have to make a list of all the things I have to get done and just take one worry at a time. It takes a lot of practice to get past it.

I don't think so, I tried making sense of their site and that is almost even more confusing then trying to get ahold of an actual person if I call their office...so thus far I've usually just had to physically go there, wait in line and talk to someone that way. Maybe when I am up for it I'll take another look and see if I can figure it out.

Anyways just to update some, I made it to the SSI office and got the direct deposit thing mostly cleared up...still have to get them the info for my account though and also they adjusted my amount to the higest amount. So getting that taken care of has lifted some of that stress. Now just still gotta try and figure out what to do about this therapy/psychiatrist situation but enough is enough for one day...got the SSI stuff taken care of so I should try not to worry about anything else today.
