so i have not seen a doctor for any of my issues in years, but i have finally said to myself i can not do this alone anymore. so on friday i called to make a appointment and the person i needed to speak to was not in. now today i called and was told the same thing, is something trying to tell me not to bother?

No:-). This person is obviously very busy which might be a good thing . I look at it from the perspective of.....if the office isn't busy then people must be running away from the help which isn't a good thing. I would not throw in the towl just yet.

Calling twice and getting the same response is purely a coincidence. When we are feeling down because of our depression it seems like trying to get anything done an impossible task. It seems like if anything could go wrong, it will for sure.

Give it another go. Perhaps the third time will be the charm.

Nope, it just means that you have to try again until you can get the help you need.
Please keep calling until you can get to see the person you need to see

Please keep trying! It took me a month to get in touch with a doctor to help with my problems! I almost said forget it but my husband wouldn't let me. I know its frustrating but it will work out. Ask if you can be notified if a spot become available because of someone who cancelled. It might work even though there is a waiting list. Good luck and hugs!
