I'm not quite sure.
Two weeks ago my physiatrist suggested a financial POA ~ that's hard to take because my prior profession had been accounting. I'm swallowing that & will be meeting with my brother, sister in law & an attorney to take care of this matter.
I had an appointment with my therapist a week ago today; I began discussing this situation & how the change in my insurance policy to now have medications mail ordered & am having trouble keeping up with that. She then asked me very pertinent questions that suggested that I'm off my nut. Just a bit.
I answered every question very honestly & that landed me into an assessment for a partial hospitalization program. Well, I've been assessed & the recommendation was for possible day treatment. Oh, no.....not going there & I told them that. My difficult child children attend day treatment - I'm not at that point & never will be.
I've spent years & years advocating for my difficult children, attending to my sudden brain injury & watching my husband die. Do you guys do shock treatment? You never want to joke about those things - mental health providers apparently have no sense of humor.
However, I did suggest to assessment person (not a therapist or psychiatrist) that quite possibly the emotional loss of my mother, my health & then my husband have not helped things. Add in the tweedles & all bets are off. I suggested family therapy with kt & wm with them on the "hot seat" for once.
There's been a very eerie silence since then other than a call from my GP wanting to see me ~ that's tomorrow. I feel a bit paranoid, like the wagons are beginning to surround me. (by the way, there was no diagnosis of paranoia that I've been told).
Wish me luck - this should be a fun week ahead.
