>It's helpful for me to have a couple of appointments scheduled ahead of time. I think I get a sense of security knowing that if I begin to throw a wobbly, that my appointment is coming up. If I can hold my stuff together until then, often my storm has passed. At the least I am able to articulate my experiences better than having had to schedule an emergency appointment and get crammed in to a busy day.
It gives me time to write, if I want to. I can't actually organize my thoughts lately to hand write notes (don't know why?) but it happens often when I am more depressed. At other times, I just ramble with my notes, but they often lead to good discussions.
I hope are able to get what you need from the system.
