because i said on my intake interview...
that i was concerned about being terminated. because that has happened to me a lot :-( and i worry about that.and she said i didn't have to worry. they could be there as long as i needed.
(which i know better than to believe but at least they weren't thinking time limited right from the start which was kinda reassuring)
and i also said that i was concerned that they were equipped to deal with me (i think i put it like that). and she said yeah that would be fine. that they did a lot of DBT stuff (though not with people with BPD i'm thinking unless psych services give those clients back to womens health). but that there could be additional supplimentary stuff if that was called for. i wondered a little what she meant. now i see. psych services. that was what she was talking about. f*ck. you would think that when people come out of the blue with a long psych history that they would at least give them a psych evaluation BEFORE deciding whether supportive councelling or mental health stuff is more appropriate.
f*ck.
but then... i don't know who / what i am at any rate.
what am i going to tell the GP?
my usual strategy is to try and figure... what is the version that is least likely to have them try and get me out the door as soon as possible. what do i say? i don't know.
am i just setting myself up for another rejection?
i guess the gameplan (so to speak) is to worry about...
meds. so a referral to a p-doc if possible. (i have enough trouble with p-docs getting that right i don't want a GP 'having a go'. maybe seroquel would be a good idea... just a tiny dose...)
therapy. a referral to mental health services for that could be nice. but depends on their wait lists i guess. whether they are going to be nice enough on their interpretation on 'resident'. i wonder what variety of therapy they do over here...
am i just setting myself up for repeating the cycle
round and round
and co
?i can't tell
