I'm so sorry Terra. Personally the anticipation of stress is often worse than actually going through it, and I imagine that is why you're going into a 'protective' daze/dissoc. I probably asked this before, but it seems having your mother visiting is causing you stress- is there any way you can delay it? I imagine some things you don't have control over like your court appearance- but that is a positive move and hopefully you will still have the support of your therapist. As far as the psychiatrist- this is for medication right? (no therapy?) Can you have your therapist speak to him/her first so that you know whether you're walking into a sympathetic or doubting atmosphere. Even better, would your insurance supply several names so your therapist can screen them first (if you don't feel up to it). I just don't think it's your job to educate a shrink- especially with all you are going through. BTW, yes you are amazingly clear and supportive on this board, so perhaps knowing how capable you are will help in the coming 2 weeks. I wish you all the best- judy
