Thanks very much for responding so soon!! I live in a very small community unfortunatly and there is only one clinic that is about 45 min. from where I live. They have 6 pdoc's and two therapists. Three pdoc's are currently accepting new pt's, two of which I've not heard very promising things about. The third is a new doc. been there approx. three months. I've gone ahead and scheduled and appt. with him. I guess now I'm more concerend about what to start talking about when I first walk into the place. I hate to open with "I feel like sh*t"! I keep thinking that I need to start keeping a diary but my mood rises and crashes so much just the thought of organizing my thoughts to put it all down seems exausting!! Anyway.. Thanks again for the advice. I do appreciate it!

See...I got my Psychologist through my shrink; her and he work together for their patients. In an 'ideal world' that would be, in my opinion, the way things should go.

I had to go through my insurance company...they gave me a list of pdoc's that were covered by my insurance, and I called ALL OF THEM and got in to the first one on my list. Thankfully she has worked out real well for me. I also think seeing a therapist might be a good step for some people out there too. Pamela Lynn
