I've been self injury free for about a year now, due to being on the proper meds, and a lot of hard work, but my meds are out and my psychiatrist won't prescribe me any more till I see her. I have an apt, but it's not till march and she can't get me in any sooner. I'm having a really bad day today, and I have a list of things to do when I'm In crisis, but nothing's working. Anyone have any suggestions of what to do when your head is SCREAMING at you to just stab yourself with the scalpel and slice but you are trying so hard not to? thx :)
They should prescribe you enough pills to last you until your next appt. I would call again and ask to speak to the doc directly if the secretaries are being stupid about it.
If they are giving you that much trouble maybe you could switch docs. That's ridiculous. When I had 10 days until I saw my doctor they prescribed me 10 days worth of pills. If they won't do that there they should at least give you your appts in time!
Not wanted: Great suggestion. I used to journal all the time till my ex husband read them and made fun of me and tried to use them against me, so I don't journal anymore. I'm too scared to, even though now I'm in a relationship that I don't think my partner would do that.
Alice: I've already cancelled 2 apts w her, because I had other dr apts that were more important like the ENT. They thought I had thyroid cancer, so I had to go to that apt to see what they were gonna do about it. Thank God it's just LPR not cancer they think, but I have another test to find out if it's cancer mid march. I think psych is pissed cause I had to cancel on her.
Uselessme: Horrible screenname!!! You're the exact opposite of useless!!! don't ever let anyone tell you different! If they do, piss on them :) I do pray. I'm doing better today thank God!!! He gives me lotsa strength. sometimes. Other times, it's like I'm the one child that doesn't exist. Do you ever feel like that?
Thanks everyone!!! Love to you all!!!
