You have struggled to find a T since you moved to Florida,
I know your WV T really knew you well and you had a great relationship.

I had some rough times with WV T but I only worried her a few times.

I don’t think you have the skill set yet to go without having a T.

How do I get the skills?

I know a 50 min session can fly by in what feels like seconds.

My time seems to drag on and on. I talk for like the first 10 min. Then I have nothing to say. It’s really frustrating. I feel others would be helped more with the time.

Maybe this new T will be a good fit ??? But you will never know until you push and be heard.

I’m not sure she’s said some really offensive things.

Honestly I think you would do a great service to yourself and family and do an PHP or IOP.

I’m afraid of IOP/PHP and the only one I know of I’m not sure is even running right now and it has no pdoc it’s just group therapy. I don’t think I would do well in that situation. Even going to places I’ve been for years with people I know stresses me out.

When was the last time you walked outside and felt the sun on your face and happy to go somewhere? When did you last take a walk on the beach ? When did you lady feel truly alive??

I don’t remember

you lie often when a provider asks you how your feeling if your suicidal ???

I don’t lie though, I’m honest just short and to the point, especially when I feel like that.

So go IP saying your suicidal.. get in the system , get signed up so you will have that extra support when your discharged.

I’ve never been offered more services in IP. All IP has ever done is mess with my medication. I like the fact you see a pdoc every day. Usually IP groups are not useful. I don’t know if it’s just my IP but I’ve heard bad things about the other hospitals. I did learn my therapists office has a walk in clinic downtown 8-7. So If things get really bad I can go there. I see pdoc next week though

I truly believe the only way your going to get more access to resources is to jam yourself in hospital and outpatient services.

I need to tell T 2x a month isn’t enough for me. It’ll be a miracle If I can get that sentence out. I need to talk to my husband about my options. I’d ask my case worker but she takes too long to get back to me.

Think of it as going out to dinner... if you just ask for chicken.... sure you will get chicken , maybe a drumstick. If you ask for Chicken and potatoes and a vegetable with salad. There .. it’s a whole meal. But you only got it because you asked for each bit...

I have to decide what I need and write it down and talk to T and Pdoc.
