Update #1

I called the doctor today and I have an appointment for next Wednesday at 9am. I'm a little bummed it's over a week away but I understand she's busy and it's not an urgent situation. I'll actually be meeting my primary care doctor for the first time. She's been my PCP for years (9?) now and I've never met her. I have always seen the physician's assistant (who left 2 years ago) and then the nurse practitioner whom I just found out is no longer working with my PCP, sigh. I guess it's good I'll meet her, I've been meaning to do that.

I have also been online looking at my insurance and trying to find a counselor but I have no idea where to even begin. There's a practice at the end of my street, I guess I could call there and see if they do any evening appointments and if they can recommend which one of the counselors I should see. It's a bit overwhelming especially for someone who has anxiety about calling people she doesn't know.

I can't believe I've missed so many awesome posts! I need to get to my igloo in the backyard and subscribe via my computer. :)

Great job on looking into a counselor! I say that if you don't know of someone recommended, then go with the one closest to your house. You know how childcare can go, and running late to an appointment can bring on even more anxiety!

You could also ask your PCP when you see them for a recommendations or a few recommendations. Then you can try each one and see which one "fits." Good luck! ((hugs)) this is a huge step!
