Hi, and thanks. Sorry, I was at work when I came on that day, and ended up with a boss looking over my shoulder in the lunch room, so couldn't respond.

OK, I guess. I have this group tomorrow that I'm NOT looking forward to. I would totally bypass this if I could. this just isn't my thing. I'm anxious and panicky about tomorrow's group, and I still have 26.5 hours to go, plus work tonight. ugh...

Hope you're well?
and thanks again.

They want me there often to start, 2 times/week for individual and once/week at a group. Has anyone else ever experienced the panic about an appointment, and how did you deal with it if so? I have to go tomorrow for a first meeting with a psychiatrist for meds. I'm beside myself with anxiety and panic. I'm not even sure I can do this. I would really appreciate any suggestions for this that you may have. I'm not a group type of person, but with no insurance, it's a requirement to keep my costs as low as they are at this non profit clinic, so I'm also really stressed about my upcoming first group. I truly don't know at this point if I can go through with any of this with the anxiety and panic about it being so high. Thank you in advance.
