Went to see the psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with anxiety/depression.

Not surprised at all. I was honestly expecting it, but he prescribed me some medication which I started last night.

The meds apparently take awhile to kick in although I did wake up feeling noticeably less anxious today.

Didn’t really help the depression though.

I made an appointment with the counselor there at the psychiatrist’s office, but it’s not till next Saturday.

Really don’t wanna wait that long. Would like to be able to see someone this week.

JD, you're correct about medication taking a while to adjust to your chemistry. A call to your doctor could answer your question about that. When I am wanting something when I am having difficult days, I don't want to wait either.....just like you and the app't with your therapist. But was really pleased you were able to have an appointment set as soon as you did. Gather your thoughts in the meanwhile to make the best use of that precious little time you will have with the therapist....the session goes so quickly. Hang tight, keep posting.

Not what you're looking for?
