[QUOTE="Steely, post: 430926, member: 3301"] Thank you Esther...I appreciate your thoughts. Janet, yes, I agree. I have felt that way about him for awhile, actually. He also researched it, and felt it aligned with a lot of what he felt. Last night he walked himself to the ER at midnight because he was having severe depression and anxiety again. He called me at 11:00 and asked if I would take him, and I said no, that he could walk, which he did. (It is only a mile from his home vs 12 from mine). I was REALLY impressed. Again hard for me to say no, but you guys are helping me with this. He met with a social worker, who is trying to get everything expedited to the counseling center here within a week. The social worker was nice enough to even drive him home at 3:00am. The crummy part of my city is that we have one psychiatrist that visits once a month and is booked until August, and a pharm nurse. So he will have to originally meet with the pharm nurse. Plus the LPC's here are all in "training" - which I have seen one of them and they are really not that good, well, at all. So I asked today for who was supervising their training, because by law the supervisor has to actually BE an LPC (I think?) and I am going to have Matt ask for him as his counselor. Otherwise we will have to drive 4 hours every week for a counselor in another city. [/QUOTE]
