> Thank-you so much Phillipa. I have such crazy mood swings. I was freaking out yesterday and this morning but now I am fairly calm. That is one of my problems. If I had seen my dr. today I would have given it right to her but if I see her the way I feel now, it's like I'm in denial. I'll tell her I'm fine, I just have bouts of anxiety. I almost wish I could conjure up my other moods while I see her. Thank-you for your reply.

You could keep a mood chart for your doctor. It's less "emotional" than a journal or biography - more "clinical" so you might not feel so embarrassed giving it to her. It would just be a record of how you have been feeling. You can just make one on paper with different times of day and the days of the week and then keep track. Like MOnday 9am - scared and anxious, pacing and crying Monday noon, calmer but very depressed, etc. Keep it for at least a week and then show it to her.
Sorry you are feeling so bad. I'd write more but I'm feeling pretty bad myself.
Marsha
