Frustration
The psychiatrist's office called me back today. They gave me the first available appointment which is at the end of March. It is a wonder that the suicide rate in Anderson county isn't the highest in the state. The response time for the mental health facilities around here is a bad joke. I'm not in such a condition that I would harm myself, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who are, and they probably aren't getting help any faster than I am. At this point I don't even really want to talk to the doctor. I just want him to give me some kind of pill to make me feel better. I have this almost constant feeling that there is something I'm supposed to be doing. I don't know what it is, but it feels important. I get stressed out and frustrated that I know I need to do whatever it is, but I can't remember what I should be doing. Then this knot of tension starts in my stomach and neck that makes me want to throw up. Sometimes I get angry and have to struggle not to lash out at people, and other times my hands shake and I start crying uncontrollably. The only thing that makes me feel better is working out until I'm exhausted, and that is starting not to work. At first I felt okay for a couple of days, but now it doesn't last long at all. I worked out last night from nine to ten o'clock, and I started feeling bad again not much more than twelve hours later. At least I'm going to get in shape.
