No sleep today so far. Went to the regular ol' doctor - yes, I have a kidney infection. Yay. I thought maybe I had beaten the beginning of a kidney infection, but no such luck.
Go see an actual psychiatrist tonight. Fun, fun, fun. My appointment card says 'Drugs, 6pm'. I don't know how a psychiatrist could determine if I need drugs or not based on one evaluation visit, but I'm playing along for now.
In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can snatch a 2-hour nap. I've still got to go to work tonight. But, y'all know I rock the audit like a boss.

Date: 2011-04-15 12:13 am (UTC)The way the US system does mental health confuses the hell out of me, mostly because it seems so non-conducive to mental health. Having a complete stranger get a random snapshot of you in a small amount of time and then prescribing you mind-altering drugs after a single session seems... counter-productive. Shouldn't the 'actual therapist person' make the recommendation after a few sessions, even if they're making the recommendation to someone else? That confuses me. I'm sure it works well in the US, but I'm glad they don't do it that way here.
But either way, I hope these people can help you. Particularly 'actual therapist person.'
And boo to the kidney infection. You can't catch a break!
