A step in the right direction?

I first wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful responses. They made me cry..nothing new there though... but when i start sobbing at work it's not the best thing. I did some research yesterday in my frustration and found out about cognitive behavior therapy....it's actually quite interesting...I googled it and found about 10,000 different websites. I found one that showed therapists in my area that were board certified CBT, called him and made an appt. on Thursday at 2:30....So we'll see if that helps at all. I actually felt better once I made the appt. Also found out today that my fiance and I will be alone in the Keys for about 4 days and then 4 others come down but we will only be there two days with them and then we leave...so I can hide for those two days if i choose to...and the first four days can be spent relaxing and hopefully spending time on the boat...i'm better off with just my fiance there...and no one else to laugh at me or freak me out.... Again... Thank You.

Well my appt. with my CBT is today....I wanted to cancel my appt. this morning...I do that alot, I guess that's a classic thing with anxiety and depression...I'm bad at keeping appts and going back to the doctor after the first session. but i'm gonna go! I really have no idea what he is going to tell me...i hope it's something positive and we can figure out where to go from here. oh well.. wish me luck!

Good luck @ the appointment! You are doing the right thing. We all can benefit from guidance & a listening ear from someone who's understanding. Your time in the Keys can be wonderful if you get a handle on the boat issue. I envy you. Keep in touch. (((hugs))) jan
