I can relate to that incomplete post--I just hit the wrong key myself.
Thanks to the info. I don't think I will try the doc at Evanston though, I had a bad experience there. I was hospitalized there in 1994 and unless you were a druggie or alcholic there was nothing for you. I thought it a waste of my insurance company's money. Ok, ok, so they kept me from killing myself, but at 32 I didn't appreciate sharing a room with a 13 year old drug addict. I do however, brag about my $1,300 necklace earring set and $1,000 trivet (ha,ha).
But seriously, I'll try giving the others a call. I have a wonderful talk therapist who I wouldn't trade for the world. I credit him for me being here.
Thanks,
Claudea
