Hey all
I'm hanging in, although the weekend was pretty much horrible. Treated to the new 'ex' coming by to get the rest of his stuff saturday am, and being able to watch him drive away for the last time. Had to call a friend to come over after that as I completely lost it and actually started to hyperventilate. Otherwise I've hit a few moments of depression, but It's not a problem yet. Mostly sadness, anger, panic, etc.I'm thinking that half of the pain is coming from the life upheaval. I need to make a new life and the sooner I can get a direction established the sooner I can start recovering. My primary care physician gave me a couple of references for counselors, but they were pretty much dead ends (and turned out to be marriage counselors anyways, which I'm not sure is most appropriate here as the relationship is already dead).
What is the best way to go about finding a DECENT counselor in my area? How many 'kinds' are there? I know of psychologists and psychiatrists, and then I guess there are various levels under those as well. I just need someone to help me make sense of my mess of feelings and help me pick the most reasonable next step!
Anyone?
Mike
