SO depressed right now. Just got back from T. He's taking a whole new approach in his practice, expanding to the whole person rather than just psychological. So, he's all gung-ho about trying to help me resolve my migraine issues.

As much as that's a good thing, he's basically saying that there has to be something more than just psychological going on - and those are pieces that are missing that we need to find out. He wants me to seriously consider going inpatient for a month at a facility that does a full workup of medical, nutritional, etc.

The place most likely would be out of state....and naturally, not covered under insurance.

Umm, hello, T? Remember - NO FRIGGIN JOB? UNEMPLOYMENT RUNNING OUT IN A WEEK? SINGLE MOM WITH A MORTGAGE AND A CHILD?

When I finally learned what he meant by going to a "facility" (for a month, inpatient, etc.) - I was adamant about the idea that there was no way I could afford that. He then asked me how much money I had in my checking and savings....We never talked exact amounts before. So, I told him....and he responded, "That's not very much".....and his excitement seemed to dwindle.

Why is it that I feel more hopeless now than I did yesterday? Maybe because I'm getting the feeling that he doesn't feel able to help me without me getting my migraines under control - and the options out there to help move that process along are not reachable.

I hurt for all you right now! I'm not a religious person, so I won't pray, but I'm going to keep you all in my thoughts! Things will work out, I promise - you're all so very strong and we're all going to support you!
