Unhappy Very frustrated

I called the uro clinic this morning, My uro nurse isn't there today, I talk to some other nurse about getting me on some antidepressants, She told me I have to call my regular doctor and I did after we hung up and now the nurse there said I have to call my uro and ask them can they order me something, I don't know what els to do now, My nerves are really bad! I guess I have to wait to monday to call back when my uro nurse is in.

Hang in there! I know how frustrating that can be, when the doctors send you all over the place instead of just helping you. I was in your place only a few weeks ago! Now I'm on Zoloft and doing much better. And you will be too, before you know it!

Just try to take things easy over the weekend and when you feel yourself becoming sad and anxious, try to do some deep breathing and positive visualization (imagine a warm healing light descending on you!)

Hugs and prayers to you!

Personally, I find the challenge of the chase exciting, and when I finally get the person I want I feel like I got a touch down...Ok...just kidding, I'm not that masochistic....however...I really do despise the callinghere and there and looking for people and getting caught in voice mail hell. Lately, I've just driven my butt where I need to go and demand what I need and I don'tleave until someone (i want) talks tome. It's annoying but it does seem to make an impression on them because Iactually drive out to there office and wait until someone talksl (What else do I have to do, besides sleep?)
