What you are describng really resonates with me. when I have been in this condition I am unable to take any action. I can't even think properly to know what to do.
I was talking to my husband about your post and I told him that when I am like this what I need is for someone to physically take me by the hand, find me a Dr., make the appt and drive me there. This is so different from my normal self that no one knows to do it this way for me and I am unable to ask. I am so cognitively slowed down that I feel like I am encased in wet cement-like I am retarded truly.
Is there anyone that you can ask to help you? I know that you don't know what you need and that makes it hard but just someone that you can say "I need help. Find me a Dr,, make me an appt. and get me there." If you can get that far with a little luck you will get a Dr. that cares and that would be a huge improvement in your situation. Your p-doc is lazy himself. If he cannot see that your functioning is almost nil then he is an idiot!!
If nothing else just open the phone book and call a mental health center and tell them you need to sse someone and ask them to direct you. If you get a dummy on the phone call the next number.
I want you to know that while I do not know what exactly causes this state in people I do know that it is physical/neurological AFFLICTION! It is not your fault and it can be helped. You are not the only person to have this problem.
I still live in terror that this will happen to me again to such a degree that the fear of it is probably my biggest problem I have right now.
Hang in there. This problem can be solved-you will feel alive again. Just get to a new Dr. and take it from there.
Please let us know how you are doing.
I feel for you.
