I'm not quite in "crisis" technically, as in I'm not strongly suicidal and would not need or consider hospitalization right now. But I've been doing badly for a while, I fear getting worse, and I am just miserable and need to get better so badly. My functioning has gotten worse, I have no motivation, I don't want to be negative but fear I'm going to continue worsening, and I really need to start working again and live life! My general doc would be very unlikely to help. I can't imagine sitting around waiting 2 more weeks to even possibly begin getting more help from meds. Would there be services, at a hospital or anywhere, where I could get in quickly and be seen for something like this? I mean I know there are places that offer "emergency psych services," but is that limited to hospitalization and severe crises, or is there any chance a place like this would be willing to help me with meds, even with me already having a psych?
My community mental health center is useless, though I've given in and am at least trying to get a therapist there since I have run out of choices with my insurance, but they can't help with meds or anything. I'm just trying to get the treatment I need and feel like I don't have options and I'm getting so frustrated and kinda losing hope, I just wanna scream.  Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I know my family doctor would help me while my psychiatrist is out of town. Is your family doctor an option for you? He could adjust your meds.. All the best. Hang in there It's tough.... Lanadelle
