As you may have remembered me posting last week.. my T really encouraged me to get to an urgent care and ask for some meds fast acting for my anxiety while I am waiting to get into a new primary dr to be on meds daily for anxiety.

I was going to go tomorrow b/c I knew that the PA that I know was going to be working and he would listen to me and was pretty sure that he would rx me something just until I get into see somebody. Well, this morning I woke up all in a panic and it was just not going away. So, I decided this was stupid.. I need something to get me through.. daily panic attacks are not good. Well, I showed up- talked about what was causing me anxiety right now (right not dental issues are triggering me). He established that he think my dental issues are okay. Then he addressed my anxiety..

He said b/c he was just filling in at that urgent care today, and would never see me again that he did not feel comfortable giving me an rx for anxiety. Then went on to question whether or not I was thinking any thoughts of hurting myself or others.. Asked me where my kids were, how old they were, what happens to them when I have a panic attack, etc. He really made me feel like he was questioning if I was okay to be with my kids.

So, needless to say.. it was a waste or time, money, and emotions. I was a wreck in there crying in front of him, b/c I am so over this panic crap. It was yet ANOTHER person that I have to tell about my issues and that just makes me uneasy in general. And it got me nowhere. I called T after that appointment b/c I was so worked up over it. That PA did nothing to calm my fears, and he made me feel frustrated, and even more crazier than I already feel. T did talk to me for a couple of mins, and calmed me down.

I hate that I am here... I hate that I have had to call T twice in 7 days saying it was urgent to call me back, I hate that he had to get me in last week for an emergency session, I hate that I am dealing with this. I just want to be done with it. The good news is, I have an appointment with a new primary care doctor this month.. but not until the 22nd. This just sucks!!

My heart broke a little for you when I read that. (((((((healed))))))) I am sorry that the doctor didn't help you, I think it's terrible.

(((Healed))) that dr was more concerned with covering his butt than actually helping. Sorry. When stuff like that happens it sucks big time because you needed help, had hope of help, and you also wasted your money, and the stupid dr made you feel worse. I've had this happen to me before. Sending you hugs.

Healed- does T know a Psychiatrist that you can meet with to issue the meds? I'd much rather have a PDoc that is trained and issues psychiatric drugs prescribe them for me than a regular GP.

Sorry you're having such a hard time of it all.

That wins for the dumbest thing I've heard today. I'm so sorry, healed.

I am glad, though, that your T is helping you, and I'm sure he knows that this is a situation that will hopefully be resolved soon, and that you're doing the best you can. I hope he can make some suggestions (or make some phone calls directly himself to someone who can help you NOW) that will make things easier.

I'm sorry you were hurt. That sucks.

But it was sheer bad luck that you got a stand-in doctor. Are you feeling strong enough to try agaiin?

Ick. I'm sorry you went through that. That is one thing that terrifies me about struggling with anxiety/depression/OCD etc. That people question if I can be a good parent. Terrifying. I went to a psychiatrist once who said that if I even mentioned suicide she'd call child protective services.

I think one of the other Doctors on the list of people he mentioned is a Psychiatrist.. right now, it is all about who can get me in the quickest.

Umm, I doubt it. Although, a lot can happen in between now and the 22nd when my appointment with a doctor is scheduled.

I am so sorry you had to go though this. Sounds like what I went though last summer that is how I got here, there was nowhere to turn. I wonder why are Dr.s not willing to help you when we finally get to the place where we really need help? That really bothers me. I suggest just try a nice warm bath or just get some quiet time to yourself and try your hardest to relax. I know it's hard when we get to that point. Don't feel bad calling your T. I wish you the best and hope you get some relief soon.
