Default I can already tell this is going to be an ongoing problem

I had to cancel my therapy appointment this week because of work. My therapist is only available during business hours, and it's really hard for me to get out of the office. The staff is really small and a lot of days I have to be here in order to keep our offices open. It's not a matter of I'm too busy to leave, but rather I literally can't leave because there's no one else here.

I thought I'd be able to see my therapist yesterday but something came up at work earlier in the week and I had to stay at the office. Next week I hope to see her Wednesday but eventually I'm going to have to come up with some kind of consistent schedule with her, and long term I don't think Wednesdays will work. Really, I don't know of any day that will work on a consistent basis. It's going to be tough going from week-to-week.

Worse yet, I keep meaning to tell my boss about all this (well, I'm going to tell him that I'll be taking a couple hours a week to go to "an appointment". I'm hoping he'll understand what that means) but he's also impossible to meet with. He keeps canceling and re-scheduling our meetings so I never get a chance to talk with him one-on-one. It's not like it matters, I guess. Telling him won't change anything. It's not like he can hire more people to cover the office.

This sucks.

Ugh. That must be frustrating. I really miss the days when professionals used to offer some hours on evenings and weekends, but a lot of them don't any more. I hope you can get it all squared away at work pretty soon.

Uhg........

Had to cancel my appointment two weeks ago.... therapist wasn't available last week..... just had to re-schedule my appointment this week. At least I'll get in to see my therapist, even if it's an extra day later. Will have been over 3 weeks since my last appointment.

:/

I hate everything

Finally got in to see my therapist. She thinks I should probably find a psychiatrist so I can look into medication, but it sounds like finding one will be hard.

She also told me to just try and set 1 small goal for myself as far as getting my daily routine back on track. Something like take the trash out today, then put some laundry away tomorrow, etc.
