Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sparky, if only I were having similar Zulilly issues...then I would stop fucking shopping there. But everything shows up (eventually) fine, and apart from my breasts' insistence on needing an L when the rest of my body will settle for an M, no problem with the wares.
But they are really good for finding weird looking clothes that I wouldn't bump into otherwise.
I'm trying to work out what precisely their business model offers them, and wondering why I haven't seen it elsewhere--is that just my lack of being out in the world? I mean, their prices are decent discounts, at least for the stuff I look at.
I got a call this morning from Kaiser.
They assigned me a new psychiatrist. He would like to see me Tuesday at 3pm.
"I've been trying to get hospitalized, can you find a better time?"
"You can't do Tuesday?"
"No. I'm trying get hospitalized."
"How about Wednesday?" (Ed. Note: No, I am not shitting you)
....
"SURE. WHO IS THE DOCTOR?"
"Adrian Mirea."
This is the same fuckstick who gave me the Wellbutrin and said to come back in six months, by then, I was psychotic.
I give up. I can't anymore.
Don't give up, Allyson. It should not be this bad and hard, but don't give up. You're worth it. Your mental health is worth fighting for.
Allyson, what would happen if you just went to the ER? (I have no idea, so that might a horrible thing, but sometimes I find you just have to force the issue. "I need this, and I need it now.")
I'm sorry they're being so stupid.
Allyson I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time.
Allyson, what would happen if you just went to the ER?
I would be leery of doing this, just because how you're admitted for psychiatric care can determine when and where you'll be let out. That is you might not be able to leave until they say so.
That is you might not be able to leave until they say so.
I suspect that's less a concern than who would pay for it. Because really, no one wants to be depressed, finally manage to deal with that, and then get a $40k hospital bill or something.
I will throw in on the "do you want me to call insurance people or somebody" pile, I'm home today and have a landline with long distance...and am willing to be a bitch as needed, especially for other people.
If the choice is between not being in hospital and doing something there's no coming back from, go to the ER. Go and tell them the truth, and they will hospitalise you.
I swear, the entire medical system was not designed to deal with sick people.
Do you have a PCP who will go to bat for you, Allyson? Mine has on occasion raised hell on my behalf. You could try e-mailing the situation to your PCP. Also, sometimes, if you get the right advice nurse, she can cut through the crap. Here, at least, a lot of the scheduling people get tunnel vision and don't look to see if you can get an appointment at another facility.
