Oh my god, Awen, thank you for being so resourceful on my behalf! You are amazing! Why can't I do this stuff for myself? I am missing the resourceful gene.
This may be perfect, and the quickest way is probably to get a referral from my pdoc. This will require some clear communication on my part, since I turned down the assessment at Mount Sinai she referred me for...but what the hell? Do I have to be beholden and perceived as ungrateful just because I am selective in what free services I choose to involve myself in? I am going to just let go of all that, between now and when I see her next.
I guess there is a part of me that just stagnates (depression?), so I get tired and don't perservere in finding what I need. If I could save the $140 i was going to spend on therapy each month and put it towards my debt, art supplies, a trip, food, whatever, my life is just that much better.
Glad to help! This is what i was going to do if I moved back to TO.
Assessments? I never have had a psych test. I have had 7 hospitalizations and 13 psychiatrists! They just ask what's wrong and decide what in the DSM 4 of symptoms you sound like you're having, and then lead you to agree with that. I always wanted a big test. But that is when I thought diagnosis actually meant there was a cure.
