I'm in South USA and on SSDI(disability)

I tried for over a year to get help though my insurance, dropped out of life and stayed in my apt for about 9-10 months then went to the PES(psych emergency services) was seen that day after arriving at 7am...waiting for 5 hours, went home with meds

Went back a few weeks later got med adjustment

Few weeks later signed up to get services though the county(something I had been avoiding because of previous experience with them)

They gave me a paper telling me the level of services I was eligible for(high)
got an appointment with Pdoc for 2 months later

A few weeks later tried to go to a PHP though my insurance got to go about 7 days then told not need it by the insurance

A crisis worker was assigned by the county pdoc because the other services weren't starting

few weeks later was in a open hospital though the county

about a month later was given appointment with Pdoc and a case worker who sees me at home, I couldn't use the other services because of transportation problems and lack of interpreters.

In all from first going to PES it took about 4-5 months to get constant Pdoc appointments and case worker. The county services changed a lot from last time and are very decent with good Pdocs.
