Do you have enough meds to cover you for a few months??… If you don't I'd ask your pdoc for at least a 6 months prescription

Your doc may know someone in your new state that they can put the referral into now

I would recommend getting into a peer support group when you arrive as you can do that pretty much right away

If you need to you can always go to the hospital ….. Big hug.....xo

I agree with Jan. Be sure to have as much medicine Rx's as possible - and if it's not too uncomfortable a peer support group is a way to feel supported until you find a Therapist and Pdoc. You always have here to come to. Reach out. We are here for you. Sending strength and good wishes! Peace and best, MM

I still miss my old tdoc. Very much. Are you able to have telephone sessions till you get established with a new clinician?

All - I have four months left on my scripts (9 of them) and I have tried to get my refills early so that I have about 30 days on hand now and a final refill on Monday of next week.

Telephone sessions. Hardly. I was locked up in a mental health hospital on a TDO after an attempt that left me unconscious. I called the PDoc and TDoc while I was there, neither called. Neither called. When I needed someone to help me out, they were absent.

The TDoc said I need to find someone and that she can't help me.

Go into the hospital... not without getting myself fired. I work in another Secret space and I wonder how much they will want to know about my mental health? Don't worry about the old HIPA or Privacy, I am working with national secrets and national teams.

Thanks to all that replied. I miss both my PDoc and TDOC dispute our history. But onto the next chapter

You have your meds, so that's good. I'm assuming you'll have health insurance with the Agency your working for.

There shouldn't be a need for a long disruption in your Mental Health care. Your Insurance should kick in the day you start work. I would be on your Healthcare website looking at Pdocs and Tdocs that day. I would get a Pdoc scheduled ASAP, go to that appt. and get things moving, take the list of Tdocs your Insurance covers and have the Pdoc you see recommend one.

Don't take several months to get your Mental Healthcare in place, its not necessary and for you it is definitely NOT a good idea.

Take care and good luck on the new job.

Kat - good idea to stalk the PCM and find some local PDoc and TDoc near where I am going to live. Got the insurance all set (Tricare Prime).

Thanks. You gave me an outlet to think this through and to listen to other voices.
