So I answered yes to have you ever been abused. I don't feel I have PTSD though. I feel most of my problems stem from Sza. Well my pdoc wants me in therapy ASAP. I've been on the waiting list for a year. Well the PTSD clinic called because they got a referral from my doctor to be put on that waiting list. After some confusion I said yes mainly because the person didn't know what to do. I don't want to take someone's spot and this is short term therapy. I need long term therapy. I don't know what to do if my name comes up. Do I go to the assessment and explain? Do I say no thank you? I really want to talk to my pdoc about it but I don't see him for a month, unless my heart messes up.
Now I'm not being completely honest with my Dr. I couldn't find the words, that's why I need the therapist but I feel like I messed up. That I'm taking someone's spot. Do I just wait to see the Dr.? __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

Yes - I think that seeing the people might be the first step. I would not worry about taking someone's spot in this kind of situation.

I also would go to the assessment. It could be that you do meet the criteria for PTSD, even if you don't think you have it. Or that they would treat you anyway. If you go to the first appointment, and they don't think you should be working with them (or if you think that), then it's not like you'd be delaying anyone being seen by much, maybe a day. And maybe it would help you to get an appointment with someone else, like they could give you a referral. Or maybe they'll be able to help you.
