Rzip,
I am getting better at this, but it used to be so hard for me to not hate myself for wanting something I couldn't have. Wanting is ok. And being angry at the reality of not being able to have is ok. But stop at the next step, which is intolerance of those feelings---hating yourself for the feelings.
If the feeling of frustration about not having what you want so badly is overwhelming, try to talk kindly to yourself about being human, and try to distract yourself.
What is it that communication with Dr. Bob would provide for you? Is it something you can try to glean from other resources and to try to eventually be able to provide for yourself?
