okay no? Then what?

At the outpatient clinic I was informed that I do not have any need for their services. I don't have a drug and alcohol problem, my "anxiety" is not diagnosable enough to warrant the anxiety group, I don't need med counseling. It was also told that I am bored.

Anxiety, Depression and PTSD

Today a trauma clinic in Vancouver is discussing "my case" to see whether a reassessment would be to my benefit. I have agreed to this with my Veteran's Affairs Case Manager but I am still quite unnerved by the whole process.
