Of course

So my mom got called into work today. We need the money, plus she can't really say no. Which means I can't make my pdoc appt. sigh

Who knows when my appt will be now.

I guess I at least have more time to prepare.

Can you take a bus? A cab? Perhaps someone you know could drive you?

Are you still having SH thoughts and seeing things?? If so please go to ER. That's the next best thing. I don't think you should put this off anymore.

Are you disappointed?

This must all be pretty tough on you?

Do you feel safe at this point?
Meds helping you?
When do you see therapist again?

I don't have any other way of getting there as usual. I don't feel like a danger to myself at the moment. I am still seeing/hearing things, but I'm used to it now.

I see my T December 7th. And have to reschedule my pdoc appt.

Wild Coyote · Nov 28, 2016, 05:16 PM

I hope you don't feel like you are being asked too many questions? Just wanted to get a more full picture of timelines and support before writing something unhelpful to you.

If you feel safe, this counts for a lot.
I wish your meds could be adjusted during this time so you could tell if med (and which meds) will be most helpful. I'll bet you wish this, too.

While you need to see a pdoc, you are in a very real bind with transportation.
My heart goes out to you.

Stay safe at all times.
We are here for you.

I'm assuming you must live in quite a small area if you don't have access to any public transportation or cabs. :/ That stinks.

Glad to hear you are feeling safe though, that is what matters most.

If that changes, do not hesitate to go to the ER, even if you have to call yourself an ambulance.

Can you call your therapist and explain what happened and ask him/her to speak your pdoc on your behalf? Since your therapist already was speaking to the pdoc they may be prepared to do more to help you. I doubt they want you running around in a shape that worried them for another 10 days plus longer for pdoc.

It's actually good you're aware of the hallucinations. Great ability to ground yourself!

Not everyone can do this.

I second this! Absolutely! If your T thought IP was a good idea she needs to know that you were unable to keep pdoc appt and aren't sure when it will be rescheduled for.

No the questions are okay. Sorry if I don't answer them all the time because sometimes I've answered that question a lot.

I wish I could get my meds adjusted too. I've tried so many. I want to know what works.

Thank you very much

We live in the suburbs. So no buses or anything like that. Cabs will come to you if you call and make an appointment. We don't have the money for that since pdoc is far away.

Yes I feel safe today. It depends on the day lol. If that changes I'll have to wait until someone at home can take me because ambulance rides are $1000 and we definitely can't afford that.

I'll ask my mom to call. T is only in on Mondays and Fridays. That makes sense though. Thank you!

I'm glad you feel currently safe. If that changes, call an ambulance. They will bill you and you can worry about that later. I've been through it and it will work out. If you get well you can get a job and pay that thousand back very quickly! (((Hugs)))

Some I cannot tell though. Like if they're regular people. But yeah, it took awhile but I can tell that a shadow person isn't real and things like that. They still terrify me though. Lol

Yes currently I'm safe. It can change quickly though so I'm hoping I stay safe.
I'll consider calling an ambulance. I just don't want to put that financial stress on my parents

Getting a job terrifies me. It might take awhile for me to get to that point lol.

You are an adult so the bill will come to you and you will be financially responsible. Your parents will not receive a bill. (((Hugs)))
