 The psychiatrist didn't call.  

Hey, there is no rule against calling more than one.  Get a few more reccomendations and leave a few more messages.

Actually, yes there is.. a rule against calling more than one.  Being that psychiatry is fully covered under our medical system, one must be referred to a psychiatrist by a regular physician.  The only shitty thing about universal health care is that I can't technically choose my own psychiatrist.  Since the psychiatrist my friend referred me to already expressed her availability, the hospital has referred me to her...  I'll call and check-in to make sure the hospital has actually processed their side of the referral, and if so call the psychiatrist herself to make sure she got the referral and isn't on holidays or something, but I can't just call her (or another psychiatrist) up and make an appointment.  The waiting for the two sides to do their fancy paper work is what has me worried.  Granted the medical system here usually works well, but I'm not feeling all that empowered in the situation!

It's okay, Ben, my inner-child basically is that guy.

My inner child used to be a five-year-old version of myself, in a bowl haircut and a Spidey shirt, and he would insult me for wasting his potential... but he's grown up now and, yeah, he's now a 19 year old kid who's readin' his first Weber and Kant while listening to "The Downward Spiral" on mp3.

but I can't just call her (or another psychiatrist) up and make an appointment. 

Eek!  Well, you should certainly call the psychiatrist and make sure she knows you're trying to get an appointment. In any big bureaucracy, I am sure even in Canada, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

um, I am pretty upset that I almost bought a book by one of those authors yesterday. i still want to.

I would say, make a pact with your SO that he will tell you if you get zombie-fied. I am pretty sure that a good psychiatrist would notice if the medicine were effecting you too strongly, though. At least... I'd like to think that.

The only Webers I'm familiar with are the 19th Century German scientists (and brothers) Wilhelm and Ernst.  Immanuel Kant always struck me as pretty uplifting in an introverted, rationalist sort of way.  Are there other folks with those names who I should be aware of?

Oh, plus Weber makes a nifty barbecue, but I'm pretty sure it has little to do with philosophy, gloomy or no.

I got no kind of experience in this but just know you are a rad person Smells you create words with ease that I can barely comprehend, you got a purpose and a place in this world.

Basically I just wanted to say that, even though I know it probably doesn't help, because it's not a problem that can be really fixed externally, but I need to say these words:

smells has been so hardcore all over this place over the last few weeks that I am basically having a major attack of lady internet crushes for her. 

So I hope she gets better soon.

Mel, your levels of awesomeness and general badassery are off the charts, and I heartily agree with the above statements. Lady internet crushes abound. I wish I had enough extra scratch so that I could just wire you a metric shit ton of cash and have you go see a private psychiatrist so you don't have to deal with this no-call-yet bullshit. For them it's just another day at the office, but for you and people like us it's a life or death matter.

I know it sounds trite and assholish and hell of easy for me to say, but...hang in there.

I only post because I know you have a sense of humour Smells. Besides I've always found dark comedy more inspiring than kitties in perilous situations.

Edited because I can't use an image tag. *****s can do my job for sure.
