Well if I didn't mention it, I didn't connect with my now second therapist at the clinic and the one I wanted to see couldn't accept new patients. I have just decided to stay with my current and pay out of pocket. Here is the good part. The "couch" place I planned to go to didn't work out. It turns out KY state law (and maybe federal) states that Medicaid patients cannot private pay because the private payer cannot accept money from a Medicaid patient, not even from a family member. The only way a private payer can accept money from a Medicaid patient is if it comes from a third party. This means that any and all psychiatrists in my region are only options if they accept Medicaid. Well, I called around ALL day and no one, except the clinic I mentioned and my current majorly over prescribing doctor, are accepting patients. I can't get into the new doctor (from the aforementioned clinic) until September. So until then, my ONLY choice is my current doctor and after then I will have 2 choices period. It sucks and is entirely overwhelming. I feel like I have plummeted into depression and this is only making things worse. I feel detached and apathetic about my life.
That can't be good.
