You will get better, with the right competent doctors. I'll tell you a funny story in response to "something as simple as calling for an appointment can be so hard to do?" When my Psychologist, who I had been with only about a month, said that he felt I needed some medication to help me out of that dark hole. YE GADS! That means a Psychiatrist! I didn't want to do that ...... why? Because I "knew" they were all whackos! Boy, I was a scared kid (at 60 then) when I walked into his office ..... and he was not a whacko at all. It's funny the things we think sometimes that hold up our healing.
Take care ..... keep writing ... we're all here for you, and believe me, many, many, of us totally understand.

shoregal ..... I sure know what you mean. Many times I just wanted to forget the dentures and walk around looking like a shrunken head! If I weren't so vain, I probably would have done that! Of course, my kids never would be seen with me, but .........

@amberpep My funny story is that my thoughts were always that they would see just how crazy I really was and lock me up for good. I no longer feel that way and going to my current psychologist has been very beneficial. I don't see a psychiatrist any more, she retired, so my regular dr and psychologist work together on my antidepressants.
