rough time

wow @outlander my sister , holding you in my arms

Some professionals can be so cold and callous. I think your answer is in the words "bulk Bill".Dont let it upset you ,go back to your doctor and ask for a refferal to someone else. Personally I like shrinks.

@outlander, my sister , what happened xxxx

Its alright @Shaz51 ill get over it

Thanks though

no , don`t stop looking @outlander

as I live in a rural area it is hard to find other help as well we travel 60 kms away , we were going 30kms away -- the closest and they told mr shaz that they can`t help him anymore

so 60kms is a bit far and mr shaz does not know if he wants to start all over again

so I don`t know what is available in you area but keep going xxx

I live in the rural north of S.A. Very little of any thing in the way of mental disability assistance and it is just as appauling for other health problems. I get kicked in the guts frequently, especially by know it all G.P.s I smart with the rebuffs for a while,then I dig my heals in and do my own thing. I go out looking for what I need. I remember a saying from when I was a teenager,a wise person said to me. "God helps those who help themselves" When I am faced with a brick wall,I go over ,under or around,I am 78yrs old and a female. I dont let NO stand in my way. Look outside the square,search your computer for what you want and where to get it. I have to drive 250ks each way every 6 weeks to the capital city to see a psychiatrist. My GP. would not recommend one to me because she doesnt like them. I had to find my own and insist on a refferal. I have a great shrink and I do argue with her and frequently tell her NO.She hasnt thrown me out yet. I also have the added burden of being a rural person ,people in rural areas with a mental illness are not accepted well.Their creibillity is worth zilch they are tolerated but not accepted as a real person. Needless to say I keep my disabillity out of the public arena,and when I am ill I withdraw,then my shrink gets a phone call. All I can say is "Thank God for my shrink" without her I probably would be 6 foot under. Dont let sorry stand in your way ,go out and fight for what you need.

thank you @jay2

I really think my husband wants to go alone , just us and his meds
