How Do You Juggle Between Psychiatrist Appts And Work?

[bittersweet]

When I was seeing my previous T I was working from home and had a schedule of whatever I wanted. That has since ended and I am actively searching for a job but at the same time will now have psychiatrist appointments at least once weekly with my new Dr. How does one juggle their time without driving themselves mad? Both things are very important but I feel my health should come first. Should I put off looking for a new job until I am established with my new Dr and possibly get some medication to help me cope with life a little better? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have no experience in this situation

My psychaitrist is only available one day a week at my university Wellness Center. It was rough one semester because he was only available on Tuesday and I had class from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm and then work after that. What I did was make my appointments with my psychaitrist a priority. I skipped classes or part of classes and got a note from the wellness center excusing my absence. I can't do much of anything else if I don't have my health taken care of. If it's too much of a scheduling conflict, just scale back your job search a bit in addition to having you Dr appointments. Who knows? Maybe fitting in your Psychatrist appointments will help you cope with the stress of a job search.
