Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Ok so I am going too be giving a lot of info and possibly be incoherent
I have this MSW person Named Brittany H. at Monadnock Family Services she is my NEW "TALK" person!
Many of you know I have had issues with Lithium Txicity and Lamictal nausea vomiting isues so I had to stop that drug so now I am High No biggie I was dealing jsut fine.
Now for back Hx.
First apt with her was last week and she was a half hour late new she would be at least that at 9:30 did not think to call office to tel them to tell me so I am there 15 min before APT and 15 after she should be there she calls and is there 20 min later and this is now 35 min into what should be our session then we meet and she ends session 5 min before the hour!!!
She gives me a business card for an APT today at 11:00 am EST and to show up at the W. Office
Now she calls out sick but I get no call this after SHE PROMISED there would be no foul ups as I have a hard time with trust!!!!
Now, the secratey does not believe me that I have this APT so I have to go back home get the damn business card and drive back.
i show her the card and tell her to get me the supervisor so I call her direct supervisor and the head supervisor i eventually get through to the Head guy and all he says is you better work this out with Brittany as I can not get you an APT with ANYONE for two months.
Can you believe this..... I have not slept more then 45min - 2 hours in the last 6 days!!!!! I really needed that APT.. oh so they tell me to call crisis......
I don't WANT NEED to be INPATIENT I just need meds. The Dr did provide a script for seroquel in the past two weeks but I can't afford 220 for the med.
So Basically I am so Fing screwed and I hate this Bitch I would give her full name but I know what that might do on the net. i don't feel like Police knocking on my door.
The point is I went from just happy High to AGGITATED IRRITATED and basically not nearly as able to deal as I was before this all happened.
Why didn't that Secratary BELIEVE me, why would I lie, and Why couldn't they get me an apt with another person because of this screw up?
BTW My insurance won't cover another IN PT this year!!!!!! Unless I am suicidal I AM NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sucks!!!

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
as for the meds, I don't know what to say. I don't have any insurance or money to pay for treatment, so I'm sinking in your same boat...No Meds and no "professional" to talk to for now.
I wish that things were different but this is life.
Like I said I feel much better now.
AGAIN THANK YOU!!!
It's great that you DO know what is real and what is stupid
What bullshit!!!! I'd be pissed as Hell, too!!!
Well, I don't know if you have the presence of mind (fun running on no sleep, isn't it!!!?) or the inclination to think that this route is the way to go, but I have had rather good success with documenting everything and then seeing that the information gets to the proper places. And it's best to do it as dispassionately as possible, so whoever gets the info doesn't automatically write you off as a 'nut'!!
When crap like this happens, I type it all out, in proper sequence and dated, make however many copies are necessary -- always keeping one for myself -- and then send them off to wherever they need to be sent. In this case, that would include all the parties you mentioned and then to whoever regulates them. In other words, go over the top guy's head to whoever HE has to report to.
CC the letters, so that everyone is aware of the fact that everyone else is being made aware of the situation, too.
I'm not sure the proper way to do it, but I think it's to put BC at the end of the correspondence, as well. That's to indicate a 'blind copy' is also being sent, meaning that you have also sent a copy of the letter to one or more other parties who you choose not to identify.
Even if you don't send it anywhere else!!! LOL!!!! THEY'LL know who they hope it didn't go to, but have no way of knowing whether or not you know, too!!!!
Sometimes, the only way to get people to do what they are supposed to be doing but are not is to make them know that they will likely be held accountable.
The lousy shits.
Thanks for the BCC advise as well I know who that WILL goto!!!
