Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 hows your day?

trying to keep myself

read back that you didn’t have any luck with community mh. In all honesty, it doesn’t surprise me. They are extremely difficult to get into. I was referred to them many many times after hospital admissions. I always had a follow up with them once discharged. And on many occasions I begged to be seen by them regularly but they always came back with a no. It wasn’t until like maybe my 5th admission in a short period of time that they finally took me on.

it really sucks that they aren’t available for more people. And that when you can’t access them the other options are either not great or really expensive with excessive wait times.

Hi @Bow

I’m just at work it’s been very busy today. I finish at 7:30 so I’m happy about that.

I know it’s so hard. I don’t get it really but oh well. They said I can get my GP to re refer if things get worse.

My old pdoc still hasn’t sent the referral to the private psych place which is really annoying I’ve call four times and they keep saying they’ve sent it but the clinic hasn’t received it. He doesn’t come back till the 11th of sep so that’s going to put me even further behind apparently the wait is at least six months. Which I really can’t wait that long. Also the fees I was there the other day for my clinical trial and I heard a few people and they were paying over $500 and I don’t have that kind of money nor does my parents.

It's annoying because when I went to community they said something about me not paying them which obviously is true as they are public so I don’t know why he mentioned that. He also said because I have private health that’s why I should see a private pdoc, but they don’t even cover that you get maybe $100 back from Medicare but that’s it.

I think if I haven’t heard from the clinic and things are still not going to good. I’ll try and get another referral and insist on staying. The hard thing for me is because I’m studying and working they think I’m okay and that I’m functioning. I don’t think that is very fair just because I’m doing those things doesn’t make me any less sick than someone else that is struggling just as much as I am.

How have you been. I hope things haven’t been too hard for you. How’s your daughter?

Hi @creative_writer

Sorry you’re feeling stuck that must be really hard. I know I don’t have bipolar but I don’t understand that feeling with my depression will it ever go away or will I be stuck with it.

Is your migraine really bad?

Im pushing along happy to be going home soon.

Hey @tyme
