Hi @eth , this is a reply to your post yesterday.
Thank you for your lovely post and for caring for me. You're right, my symptoms have not abated for about 9 months now, sometimes they get worse when I try a new medication.
I have thought of going public until private is available, but I actually dont feel safe in our public hospital. I won't go into deatials but it freaks me out just being there so I think it would make my anxiety worse. It is an option as a last resort though. Another option is to jut get a referrral for all private hospitals and that way whichever bed comes up first in whichever hospital with whichever psych is what you get. I'd prefer not that option too but if it takes too long for a bed at the hopital I've been referred to I might have to go that way. I really appreciate you sharing from your experience and caring for me Eth.
Haven't reached out to a helpline, do speak candidly with psychologist, I feel like im in the too hard basket with my pdoc now. Left the appointment I had with him on Monday feeling very deflated and very much like I'm in the too hard basket bcoz I've been difficult to treat, don;t take new meds for longer than a day or two normally because they mae me feel worse, and I believe things about the cause of that that they don;t believe. So I think they've just had enough of me tbh. I can't talk freely to pdoc anymore re concerns about ingredients in meds, he just gets annoyed with me when I brring it p, much like my husband really!
Of course I fdon't mind what you've said Eth, I rally appreciate your care for me, and from others on the forum. I appreciate that there are a number of people supporting me.
I am so sorry for all those years that you went through all the struggles with MI that you did and without support. I dontl know what to say. I don;t have a lot of support but I have a litte. I can't imagine what it would be like to have none. I really feel for you you for what you went through. I am so glad that there has been reconciliation between you and your family and that you now have that support Eth, I really am. You deserve to be loved and supported.
Thank you again for your lovely caring post Eth, I really appreciate it. You are a gem. I hope you are diong well today.

PS: Sorry for the typos, I think I'v already explained about not being able to get my curser to go where I want it to on my phone so I can't fix the typos.
