A Few Serious Questions:

I had an appointment to find a person best suited to talk to me about three weeks ago. I haven't heard back from them since. I've called and they said it will still take more time. The thing is I don't think I have the time to wait with how things are going. Is there a way to really make it clear this is urgent? I've pretty much hit the point where it is urgent and I can't keep going on like this. How can I make it clear I need help and will that actually make it so they will help me sooner?

Another question I have is how do I bring up disability to them? I've been trying to avoid the reality of being on this. I was told this while in the psych ward once that if things got worst that I might have to be. Well, things have been getting worst... And I've been realizing this might be the only way I can live a stable life. I've had dreams of going to school and getting a career but the more I realize my reality I have to accept what's going on. What testing do they do for disability? Do I just bring it up next time I'm in? Can I go to the hospital?

As well, how do I ask about getting a brain scan done? I really want to know internally the main issues I have and not just done by external analyzing.

I just want to be taken seriously. I try to hide how I am... And I don't want to be in a terrible state when I go in. I hate being in that state to be taken seriously.

Can you tell them you are on the verge of a crisis and can they do anything to get you in to see someone.

Well I said I haven't been doing well and I'm really worried about my sanity. They told me they would get me in as soon as possible. But that's been a week. I just wish they would give me a day to go in.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to end up going to the hospital to check myself in.

if you feel things are this urgent.. can you go to outpatients or the ER? This might be your only option in forcing things to move faster. That is what we had to do for my exhusband... he was on the list for an appt but it was no set date and was taking a while... so we went and sat at outpatients and stayed there for hours.

i hope you can find a solution... and soon

In response to your question about disability...where I live the county adult mental health social worker helps people apply for disability or can refer a person to other resources. If you have a county social services or human services agency you can call and get more info there.
