35f, been on an SSRI since high school for OCD. But I feel I need something else. I have 2 kids under the age of 5. The stress and burnout is affecting me and my relationship with my kids and husband. Also, my PMS mood swings since having kids are BAD, which are also affecting my husband and kids. My PCP saw how stressed and miserable I was she literally tested me for an ulcer (because I was showing physical symptoms as well) and encouraged me to get more mental help. It has always been hard for me to ask for help so I pushed it off and just soldiered through. Finally got to a point where I knew I couldn’t ignore it any longer and they tell me the first available appointment is in 2.5 months. 2.5 months is a lifetime for someone struggling with their mental health. It is so disheartening and discouraging. I’ve literally been sobbing since I got off the phone because I just feel so defeated. Living in very progressive SoCal, you see “ask for help” messages all the time. Ok, I asked for help, and my reward is suffering for another 3 months.

I finally get the courage to schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist and the first available is in 2.5 months. This is why the overall mental health of this country is at an all-time low.
