I am going to my pdoc appmt tomorrow and I am very nervous. I am nervous when I tell her what has been goingon she is going to have me committed. I am scared I dont know what to expect she is kind of not understanding at times.. She is hit or miss. Oh my head is killing me I have such a bad headache grrrr. I just dont know what to do anymore I am trying to get backon track but everytime I do try to something always happens to knock me down again and evertime it gets harder and harder to get back up again. Anyway thats all for now hope everyone has a good night now. I am alone again it seems here so owell life goes on.

Hi Kitty~~

Do you have a therapist in addition to your pdoc? I ask because my pdoc just manages my meds. We don't get too deeply into my issues whereas my therapist and i work through all the details.

I wouldn't be reluctant to share openly. To get the best care, your support team needs to know exactly what's going down. Rest easy tonight and I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.

ok quick update: my doc told me to go to a shelter yey i dontknow about that i am not leaving my animals behind. she is going to talk to some people for me to see what she can come up with. I asked her about support groups also for depression/bipolar and they have one at the place where I go to see my pdoc and runs 1x week. she is going to have the ladycallme with more info. the only thing she told me that it is coed well i really dont care about that. I just want to see how other people cope ect. Also she told me to call the other center I was going to for couseling to see if I can get in if not she will see what she can do to get me set up with someone in her center for me to talk to. The doc also wants me to to to health clinic to get checked out ummm yey ok. whatever. long story short oh sorry also she gave me a script for lithium to the regualr kind and it only cost me $4.00 for a month supply and she gave more samples of my pristiqe for now until i see if i can get financial help. She was ok about things I guess this morning but she did tell me to stay as far away from my brother as I can and it is up to me if I want to press charges. Sorry my thoughts are all over the place right nowtrying to type this fast. ok have to run now. It is 101 degrees outside right now Ihave such a headache from the heat and drivingin it. ugggg.. bye for now more later.
