I am not well at all.

After managing OK for about three years, life has gotten so stressful and painful, and broken that I finally admitted to myself I need to go back into therapy.  Between having a surge of my old adoption issues coming up, and some very serious, awful polyamory drama mixed in with losing a best friend, I'm not doing so well. 

I hated being in therapy before. I don't think I'll enjoy it any more this time around.  But I need the help, and I know it.  Medication alone is no longer managing my depression or anxiety.

Today, I asked my psychiatrist for recommendations.  He gave me one, who I called and I don't think will work; she in turn gave me another suggestion. I'm now waiting to hear back on that.  Finding a good shrink is a little too much like dating for my tastes. 

I'm still stressed and shaky from my Dr's visit and the phone calls, and I still don't have an answer.  This is going to be hard.  Wish me luck--I'll need all the good thoughts I can get.
