So today I found out that my psych closed my file because I hadn't been to see her since July...but that was only because my meds were working. Why should I go to the doctor if my meds are working? So I go today to make an appointment because I've lost her number and the hospital switchboard operators take some kind of illiteracy test to work the phones, and they said my file's closed and the only way to get back to see a psychiatrist at the hospital was to go to the emergency room and commit myself, or go the long way of getting refered by my gp. Yay! What the **** am I supposed to do? Psychiatrists are really really few and far between in my city, and I need a long term psych not one at the hospital who only focuses on doping you up so your syptoms don't bug you. I need someone who will medicate me and talk me through my problems, giving me coping strategies to help myself. I don't know what to do here. Any advice guys, please?
