Thanks for the replies - I took some time today for myself and got a raspberry mocha & just relaxed a bit. It was nice. I also did some Christmas shopping & dropped the kids w/ Grandma for a...

Wen, Thanks so much for the kind post. I know I need to check into AA & now that I've read I don't HAVE to talk right away I am going to check into it. LOL that may seem like a goofy reason for...
thanks for clearing that up - so one *more* question - does anyone know if a therapist can SUGGEST medication for your pdoc to prescribe? Or do they have the knowledge to do that. The reason I'm...
Can I ask a dumb question - is a psychiatrist the same as a therapist?...
