> KizziexxxHi Kizzie. I'm so sorry you are going through all this without doc's support. Know the feeling though because I have just been there. I am waiting to see a psych doc soon to get meds on track so I know how you feel. Just try to hang in there though and demand the help when you feel like you can't take any more. Will say a prayer for you - good luck! Elsie girl
