I thought you explained really well in your post how overwhelmed you are feeling. Can you call and read that to him??
I'm glad you're reaching out here. And it sounds like you're really looking for some IRL resources to help too. I know it feels like an uphill battle, but all you can do is keep moving forward bit by bit, and that's what you're doing.

Okay, so I just called my T's office to cancel my scheduled appointment (my insurance runs out before then), and also left a voicemail for him to call me.
I also signed up for some vocational rehabilitation stuff, but the appointment conflicts with one of my court dates, so I'll have to postpone enrolling until next month...
I also spoke to my crappy attorney (scheduled phone appointment). Most of the time he spoke over me and didn't care about what I told him anyway. He's rather condescending, but unfortunately I have to put up with him for now. He really doesn't see me as a person at all, which worries me, considering that my future can be damaged by the way he chooses to represent me. I also told him that due to conflicts that I can't make one of my court dates and I asked him to move it, and he said that it is unlikely the judge will move it unless someone was having a medical emergency or something. He left me with the impression that he wasn't even going to request the court to move it at all. He said that I better send him a doctors note..?><?
Only good thing is I discovered I have a much nicer magistrate for my case than the one originally assigned...there's some hope on the horizon there.
Meanwhile I moved my appointment to later today with my clinician I see for my ADHD medication, as it's the last time I can really see her until I get new insurance, which could be awhile. My insurance runs out this Friday. I also have other health problems that need attention (new ones, yay
), and I have crammed as many appointments into this week as I can.
To top it all off, my mother is behaving like The MegaWitch, and treating me like crap and trying to make everyone else "pay" for how she feels, taking it out on me instead of trying to do what she can. Really, she talks to me like I've greatly offended her most of the time. I have been forced to spend most of my time in my room, alone and boxed in, just to avoid her dragon-fire. You would think she would have grown up a little bit over the years, but apparently that's just another dream.
