oops, my bad @scared01 .
Okay - I think I understand now.
I'm not an expert when it comes to medications so I would probably trust what my GP and nurse are saying - but in your case, have you been able to speak to your GP and nurse about how you feel being on your medications? I know that stopping medications can also have a bad effect especially if you have been on them for a while so i kinda understand if that's why they don't want you going off them. It sounds really hard to deal with though 😞 I'm sorry.
Yikes - that's a lot of money for one person to decide ultimately if you should be on them or not and it seriously sucks that you have to wait until July about it. Perhaps giving it a little bit more time to see how things progress could be a good thing? I'm sorry - I feel like I am not much help in this regard. 😞
sorry i wasnt clear the psychiatrist is the one im seeing for my medications and is the one thats charging a kiddney to be able to see.
im through headspace atm for my psychologist so its free for the 10 sessions.
ive got my gp and my nurse as well who all agree they dont want me off the medications even though im struggling with them so im not that stable on them anyway.
Oh damn - the money side of psych appointments is a real bummer 😞 @scared01 I'm experiencing a similar problem with my appointments too, I have to pay $100 at the end of my session and then I get a rebate and get money back thankfully.
I know it is a bit of a wait before you can see her and the money factor sounds quite stressful - but these are really positive steps you are taking. Good job.
Who do you need to talk to to find out about your medications? And - i'm sorry if it has been said before because I have forgotten - but is there anybody else you are seeing or is supporting you in the mean time while you wait? I really want you to be supported ❤️
um well im worried about how im going to afford it. its a 200$ gap fee but i have to pay the full amount which is almost 500 but get rebated back except the 200. . god only knows why. i cant see her till july anyway. thats the first avaliable appointment that shes got. i was hoping to be off medications but i dont think thats going to be allowed
like tonight, my mum has had over a week to tell me that im babaysitting tomorrow but waits till about an hr ago to tell me which means i need to cancel basically all my plans
