I have had such a fiasco in the past 2 days that I’m really upset and stressed. I got a letter in the mail stating that my appointment with my psychiatrist has been rescheduled again for a second time! I was supposed to have an appointment on October 26th to get my medication for less, but they rescheduled it to December 6th because my psychiatrist has been out on medical leave and the leave was extended for another month. I was so upset when I read that and I immediately called the clinic and basically chewed them out telling them it was unacceptable that my appointment was rescheduled again. I am in need of therapy and medication and I can’t get either until I see the psychiatrist again, but that isn’t possible if she keeps rescheduling and not giving any options. After about 5 minutes of my persistence, the clerk finally rescheduled me for November 8th with another psychiatrist.

I counted up my medication and I only have enough for 11 days and my appointment is in 19 days. 8 days without medication is not doable because the medication I’m on can cause seizures and withdrawal symptoms if stopped cold turkey. I called the medication manager and asked if there was any way they could help me if I submitted a doctor’s note from my regular doctor, to which they declined. I have not seen my psychiatrist since last November. I was doing well but then had a relapse and my regular doctor put me on an antidepressant and my old anxiety medication. However, since losing my job and my health insurance, I am forced to resort again to socialized healthcare which I hate. The clinic is run by the state government and the clinic workers can be quite rude and arrogant. That is all I got when I tried to get some help.

I am forced to have my mom pay again for a regular refill at the pharmacy for my medication which is quite expensive ($50) when I could get it for $5 if I was allowed to see the psychiatrist.

I ended up crying for about 5 minutes because of the stress and anger I am experiencing. I feel like if I didn’t have my mom to help me out, I would be stranded. It makes me wonder how many other patients are left with nowhere to turn because of the clinic. Plus, I have no guarantee that the clinic will not reschedule again. I will probably write a letter of complaint to the CEO when this blows over a little bit. I’m too upset write now to be rational. Please pray for me!
 
Just take a moment, and breathe. Pray for a few minutes, focusing on being calm. It sounds like your having a big issue with your psychiatrist, so perhaps you should start looking around for a new one. Be thankful that your mom is there to help you out with the medication, even though it’s pricey. What’s most important is that you get it, and Im sure she feels the same way. Be patient, be hopeful, and know that your prayers are heard.

I would pray to St. Rita for help in finding a committed doctor, or considering your potential career path, St. Francis. Just know that you are not alone. Don’t panic. 🙂
 
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

I went to see my Psychiatrist yesterday. He made some changes.
If I didn’t have Medicaid my medication would be over 1K a month.
I live in constant fear of lossing my insurance. I have been without it
before and if it wasn’t for my mom I would have died.
I oh so well understand what you are going through.
I will pray my heart out for you!
I want to write more but they might kick me off the forum.
Praying Hard.**

Check with your pharmacist. Sometimes they can get the doctor to renew your meds, and sometimes they can give you a few days’ worth to get you by till you getto yoru doctor. At least that’s how it works here in Alabama. Tell 'em (jokingly, of course!) that it’s either that or you go on a six state killing spree. LOL
 
Thanks everyone. This whole week has left me feeling stressed and vulnerable. I hope I get to stay with this new psychiatrist that the clinic set me up with. I would love to go somewhere else, but since I don’t have insurance or a job, that is not possible. Unfortunately, I’ll have to endure their services a little longer until I can find some way to get a job.

My mom is planning to pay for the full prescription price. Since I take 2 pills a day, I’ll need 16 pills and the pharmacy has already filled a partial prescription of 4 pills the last time this happened. They won’t fill any more partials on this one.

I also found out that I may not get unemployment insurance because I voluntarily quit my last job before I got fired. They are doing an investigation into my work record at my last job to see why I quit. Please pray it works out in my favor. My previous employer could turn me down for unemployment, or lie, which is what they’re good at. 😦
 
Praise you Jesus that DaughterofMary6 has her mother! May DaughterofMary6 keep this new psychiatrist and never have to go through the same bad experience again. May everything work out in her favor with her investigation and may she keep faithful and persevere whenever these terrible things happen to her. May she place all her confidence in your merciful love and be totally abandoned to your merciful love. Amen.

What I like to do when I am felling stressed out I usually is just say the name of these angels and it makes me feel better:
Thoth,enki,Murmur and AMON just say these names in your head whenever you feel stressed out and it should help.
