Finally made a pdoc appt..

Well I finally did it. I asked the school nurse for a recommendation for a pdoc and she gave me the name of a doctor I was already considering calling. I sat on it for a week but finally just picked up the phone and made the appt. yesterday. I can't get in until May 1st, I hope I don't cancel before then. What will happen at the first appointment? Will I be filling out rating scales, personality test or actually talking most of the time with the doctor? I wish I could go today and get it over with plus I am anxious to start taking control of what ever is "making me crazy".

After a week of massive cleaning, fast talking, barking orders and two big "needed" (in my mind at least) shopping trips I am on the verge of tears constantly. I don't know why though. I took a full time teaching position for next year and was told I could adjust my teaching duties if other opportunities in the building came up because they want to "keep me happy." (it was said in a very nice way). I will be the most experienced sp. education staff member in this building by more than double the years of the next teacher in line. They need experience in this building desperately and the principal doesn't want me to request being in another builing. My kids have been fairly well behaved. My DH brought me a suprise bunch of flowers. I fixed my sink all by myself. I have more to be happy and proud about than sad, but the tears just don't quit.

Thanks for the ear.

You sound really scared and overwhelmed and May 1st is a long way away to be in pain. Why don't you call the office back and explain that you think you're having a crisis now and really need to see someone before then. Most docs keep emergency appointments open. (((Hugs)))
