your#1fan,
I really feel for you. Although I've never been in your exact situation, I know what it is to panic over needing your meds. and not having them in front of you. I lost my insurance a couple days ago and I've got about two months of meds. left. I'm trying not to waste my energy giving into the fear so I can use it to find a way to get what I need. I have made my mind up that I will and that's that. I'm new to psychobabble so I don't know you or your past. I don't want to be presumptuous, giving you advice that can't apply to you. I apologize now if I do. If I can ask, how old are you? You seem to still be a legal dependent of your mom's. You might want to get your own legal advice and not take the psychiatrist's word for things. If you're under age your medical documents may not be able to follow you into adulthood. Who knows. If you look around ( internet, etc) you can find sources for free legal advice. Also, have you ever been to a therapist? I go weekly and what a big help! I was very lucky to have clicked with the first therapist I went to- she's a life-saver for me. Not only do we do actual therapy, she is also a great source of help and info. when I've encountered problem situations. She advocates for all her patients, and especially women. I hope to be well enough to repay her one-day, although she says I already have. If you do consider therapy, don't settle for less than the best, they are out there. Anyways, try to have confidence in yourself and your ability to survive no matter what anyone says. After all you've survived this long- YOU are a SURVIVOR! Try some positive self talk and fight the negative thoughts that come into your head. You can find a way to get what you need. I'd say good luck but you don't need luck- you're smart and capable.
