I have an appointment with a psychologist Monday afternoon.

I really should talk stuff over with Grace before obsessing about the details. The psychologist cannot prescribe medications herself, but that doesn't really matter. Most will be working with a consulting psychiatrist or neurologist and will write a referral if it's determined that anti-depressants are warranted, or if I like I can just take the referral to my primary care physician, in my case my gynecologist. I use my gyno as my primary care for simplicity's sake. Most of my health problems tend to be plumbing related, and I have to see her anyway, so why have the hassel of a second doctor for the other stuff?

I'm not ready for this, but I've thrown my hat over the fence, so there's no turning back.
