So sorry you are feeling like crap, it sounds like you have alot going on right now and need to take some steps back.

Is there anyone who can make some phone calls to the pdoc for you...or can you call the pdoc and tell him/her what you are feeling like??

Don't let insurance worries stop you from going to the hospital if you need it. Worse case scenario they never cover it, you get bills in the mail... it is REALLY hard to hold medical expenses against someone. Yes, they can report it on your credit, but most creditors don't pay much attention to delinquent medical bills. Also, many states have what is called a "spend down". Meaning, if you have enough medical bills, you become eligible for medicaid insurance.

Also, it may not come to that. Hospitals want to get paid, so they will fight and hassle your insurance company.

If you feel out of control, please go ahead and seek help. Insurance worries should be the last thing on your mind right now. Social workers at the hospital may even be able to help you straighten out your prescription troubles with the company.

I have a nurse practioner that prescribes meds. I did call my therapist who is a PSYD. I don't know if I should go to the hospital or what hospital I should go to. I don't know if I am unsafe. Everything has built up and come to a head all at once. I feel confused and can't really think very straight. I feel helpless and overwhelmed.

Are you having thoughts of hurting yourself loum???

If so please go to the emergency room and let them help you...they will bring you to where you need to go.

Did calling the pdoc help? Did they have any suggestions for you??

How dire the American healthcare system is...

Go to hospital.

I have been hurting myself, but not very seriously. My therapist said if I don't feel safe to go to the hospital. She also suggested I use this support group, because I do find it helpful. I just got off the phone with the nurse that prescribes my meds and she told me to take some ativan, which I'm going to do now.

I would say that if your eating, blood pressure and diabetes are all out of control, then you're hurting yourself in ways that can be controlled. These ARE serious issues, all of them.

Have you told the nurse about all of these, as well as the way you're feeling mentally? I feel you're subliminally or maybe even CONSCIOUSLY sabotaging your physical health because you're so unhappy mentally.

You have a lot of things that need to be taken care of......I really think that the best place for you is a hospital where all of your health issues can be properly monitored and you can be advised on how to deal with them the best way.

I'm really sorry you're going through so much right now.

what Kim said!

I took some Ativan and I feel better. I must have been having a panic attack. I'm still a wreck, but a little calmer. Thanks.

Glad you ate calmer.

I will tell you what I tell all of my patients, the financial part is not first, you are. If you aren't safe the best place to be is inpatient and there is even a chance they can help you with the insurance troubles. But please, don't put off treatment for any reason, you are the most important thing in the whole equation. :)
