[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 340970, member: 1233"] I am so sorry things are so bad. It really is awful that you cannot get help and difficult child refuses to help herself. I am so very sorry. Others have given great ideas. I have a few suggestions for things you can do. Don't evaluate IF you can do them. They will problem seem impossible. Just let the idea simmer in your mind - it may suddenly seem like a doable idea and at that point - go ahead and do them. If they are just too much, that is OK. They are JUST ideas. NOT orders. Have you considered skipping the first "mom only" appointment and taking difficult child in because she cannot wait? It is an option, no matter what the secretary tells you. In difficult child's current situation, not able to go to school, not able to function at all, have you considered having the psychiatrist arrange a hospital bed? It won't be an "emergency" such as going through the intake, per say. A psychiatrist will have to order it. Not sure how things are with old psychiatrist, but new psychiatrist may help if you take difficult child in with you for the first appointment. No matter WHAT the standard order of things is, if you take her in and she is in such crisis, they will see her at least a little bit. I hope that both of you feel better soon. The fevers of unknown origin are awful to live with. I am so sorry they are so bad. You can tell the doctor that she/he HAS to fix you because otherwise we will get a posse to pull his lungs out through his nose, if it will help? Take deep breaths, and know we will listen anytime.
