You know what, I just remembered....2 years ago my old psych nurse sent me a bill for $600 after we realized she wasn't on my insurance...long story...but that was for 4 visits, including the first big visit. So...if the first one was maybe $250 then the rest were maybe around $125 each? I don't know for sure, and that was 2 years ago in a different state.

I know - I also don't see much on Psych Nurses on here. Thought maybe I was weird that I was going to one. I had a really horrible experience with a psych nurse 2 years ago, so that clouded my judgment.

But I don't know...I think I was almost "meant" to find the psych nurse I'm seeing now. I was actually trying to get an appointment with the Psychiatrist that works in her same office, but she was booked out for a long time. So she offered this psych nurse. At first I resisted, heck probably almost a month that I thought no, a nurse won't be good enough. But I finally went to her when I was almost suicidal and I really needed meds. She has been a godsend for me. Maybe literal. I don't know what I believe, but I really think things happened for a reason here.

Okay so after that paragraph maybe it's clear!! I really love my pnurse. I think part of it is that I don't want to insult my therapist, he was doing a really great job, and he squeezed me into his schedule three weeks earlier than the pnurse (in april), since I was in so much distress at the beginning. He has been very accomodating with scheduling.

Hmm...another thought I just came up with. Just go to my therapist for PHYSICAL therapy (exercise) and go to my psych nurse for meds & therapy?! That just might work. Hmm....ok I think I made a decision!! I'm going to call my therapist and ask about the exercise stuff.

Seriously, these meds are working wonders. I've made several good, rational, BIG decisions in the past few days. It's strange, but I'm really doing so well. Thank you pnurse!!
