I've been having trouble finding a new therapist. One of them, I saw for a few times and we had different goals for my therapy plus I didn't like the approach towards therapy.

I talked to this one therapist who agreed to see me for a lower price but he went out on paternity leave for a month and I told him I'd wait. He seemed so compassionate on the phone and I want to give him a chance.

I found a psychiatrist who I have been seeing. I've been to him a few times and I think he's the one I'm going to stick with. I see him tomorrow at 2 PM actually and I can't wait. I wrote down some stuff that I've been struggling with and want to talk to him about it tomorrow.

I really want to wait for him.

The downside is that it is coming up on the anniversaries of my mom's and grandfather's
deaths and this is a hard time of year for me.

Today is the day of my psychiatrist appointment.

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning and even right now I don't feel like dragging myself to the shower.

It went well. He increased my Seroquel dose to 200 mg twice a day. It was a quick visit. Not in depth but this was only med management.

I'm still waiting on the other therapist to return. Hopefully, he will be back before December.

They were rude to me at the pharmacy.

I just feel like going home and getting into bed and cry my eyes out. I feel so alone.

I miss my ex-therapist so much.

My heart still aches.
