I made it through my doctors appointment after anticipating it for 2 weeks. i was a little disappointed since she couldn't help me and told me to find a mental health professional because she's one of those homeopathic doctors so she doesn't work with antidepressants or anxiety meds. I also did my female exams and got a basic check up but now i'm stressing on the getting the results from my PAP and my blood test, even though i shouldn't have anythng to worry about.

My biggest accomplishment today though was going shopping for the first time in 5 years!! It felt amazing to be out doing something "normal" and being able to pick out my own clothes and try them on. It was great.

Tommorrow when i get up i'm going to start calling around to see if i can find a psychiatrist or someone that can help me.

I was disappointed about my doctor visit, but it's been a wonderful day

God Bless You All!

good job CHelsea! I myself have experienced a recent increase in sanity [Go Lexapro] and "luck". It may be that it IS all in our minds.
Keep focusing on the good stuff, and more good stuff will come.
