I feel so depress that i can't wait to see the doctor on the 30th. I'm thinking about finding another doctor to help me. My doctor schedule is full so 30th is the earliest I can get. I don't know what to do right now.

have you seen this dr. before? If you like this one, stick with him/her if you can...it's not easy to find one that works well with you and BP. Can you call the office and see if they have a cancellation list, so you can go in if someone cancels?

I will see but he is on vacation right now. I can't take this mood anymore.

If it's really bad, you can go to ER. Sometimes, just doing something to change your environment can do wonders....

Ususally they have an emergency number to contact your doc. If you feel as though waiting til the 30th is too far away, call that number. It is not worth it to wait that long. Symptoms may get worse and coming out of that pit will take longer than doing something now. If it means seeing a new doc, so be it. If you do not like the new one you can always go back to the other.

I think its very important to be proactive (but not condriactive) living with bp. Things can swing out of hand quicker than you may think. It's happened to me, hate to see anyone go through it.

I'm glad you posted to get other ideas. Hope all goes well.

Love your avatar!

Mona, I read a little bit in your journal and you have me concerned because you mentioned wanting to hurt yourself. You pdoc's appointment is still a long way away. Isn't there another pdoc on call for emergencies? If not, can you take yourself to the hospital and see if they can prescribe you something for the interim? I hate to think that you're going to be suffering like this all the way until the 30th!

P.S. I looked on your status and you say you are suicidal. Really, get some help before you can't. We don't want to lose you!!!!

l'd see another Dr as a one off to help you, or even go to the ER

i'm just so sad and i'm crying because i'm lonely in the world.

I need help.

deleted_user 07/18/2009

Please go to the emergency room asap. Call a friend to drive. You have a lot of people here who have been there. You may feel alone, but you are not.

I have not prayed for a long time, but for you I will.
