I'm switching mental health providers because of insurance. My last appointment with my current psych nurse is on June 17th. I haven't booked an appointment with the new psychiatrist and therapist yet, but it will likely be the last week in June or early in July.
I'm doing really well now, very stable. Had a couple little blips, but I'm fine.
When I fill out their paperwork, and answer their questions - and I haven't seen the stuff to know what it's like - what do I say, now that I'm no longer extremely depressed/manic/messed up anymore? What if I no longer meet all the criteria for my diagnoses? Will they say I'm not crazy amymore and I shouldn't need treatment?
I'm this way BECAUSE of treatment. I still need treatment. They'll be smart enough to figure that out, right???!! I hope.
Have any of you switched providers before, when you were no longer in crisis? What was it like?
