$100 an Hour for THIS??
Well, I saw the new shrink for the second time today. She's actually a Psychologist, not a Therapist or Psychiatrist, and was recommended to me by the nurse practitioner who so gleefuly handed out Zoloft to me like so much penny candy. I've decided I'm not going back. She's useless. Nice, but useless. At the first appointment, she handed me a catalog for motivational audiocassettes, and today her advice basically consisted of "when you're frustrated at 3am because Lily has been screaming for an hour and you just want to yell 'SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE HELL UP,' try to replace those thoughts and words with some more positive ones." Well duh. I miss my old therapist. Well, the upshot of today's visit was that I was given permission to give up cloth diapers without guilt. Who needs all that laundry when they're dealing with depression? Planet be damned, I have issues.
