I'm not sure I understand what's going on but what I'm hearing is that you've never been evaluated psychiatrically and that you do have an appointment with therapist or psychiatrist in April. Is this correct? How did you find someone to see and how did you make the appointment? I remember that it took me forever to decide that I needed to be seen (I should have picked up on things much more quickly because I had seen someone for depression 20 years before). Once I decided that what i was experiencing needed to be treated it seemed like forever before I could decide whom I should see, forever before i screwed up the courage to call, and then was deflated to find out that he was out of the country for at least a couple of more weeks. I left a message for him to call me when he got back and then waited interminably for that to happen. When he finally did call I made an appointment for maybe a week later (another interminable wait). He asked me on the phone if it was an emergency and I casually said no. Obviously I had waited that long - how could it be an emergency? Maybe not but the wait was horrible. You've taken a brave step but it would be helpful to know who it is that can't see you for another 7 plus weeks.
I'm not sure I understand the part about your husband and the phone. Could you explain that?
Thanks
