Having a paranoid moment

Dunno how much of it is real, how much of it is anxiety-driven... probably most is simple anxiety. My doc can't give me more meds cuz I don't have prescription coverage. So, I'll have to wait it out. Sigh.

Marriage would be the best option. I have a friend who similarly helped out a very nice Philipino lady who needed a corn plaster. What a gentleman.

Yep. Every time I go in there, I need to leave a "Come and get me if I don't come back in an hour" note on the fridge

Mooty....

Glad you are feeling better.
I will pray for something good to happen concerning your meds.
Like Ted said, don't get me started on the state of our absurd healthcare system.

just because you need a med, doesn't mean you're going to get one, LOL

I can relate, Live.... I wish I still lived in Canada (lived there till I was 7)

hey moot, i can really relate. for me, it is not just an average paranoia. its a mental thing. and im going to assume its the same for you. a lot of it stems from past meth use and ptsd and trama crap. i can understand about the med situation. im due for a visit on oct 18th ... and have been needing to get in WAY frickin before then but couldnt because of insurance. i did get one visit though and some meds. the visit wasnt covered though blah.

i have found that with the help of my psychologist i can sort of take the paranoia and put it in its place. i dont want to go into particulars, but there is one ongoing issue at home that has caused me a lot of grief. paranoia can seem so real at times. i finally just try to recognize the thoughts, and even if i believe them, just keep assuring myself that things will be okay dokay and that i am just thinking irrationaly. which is NOT a bad thing! i cant help it! thinking its bad makes me not want help, the stigma attached was just too much. so, accepting that i will have some looney thoughts is just going to have to do. i hope, haha.

keep rockin.

I have alot of stuff that is deserving of worry :shocked: , both my psychiatrist and therapist agree. What they are trying to do is damage control. Reduce the level of anxiety to something I can handle. So I can relate with what's going on at home.

I'm going to my therapist Wednesday.... I know it will be pure damage control, but if that's what it takes, so be it.

how about asking for samles for meds? They have done that quite willingly for me before?

moot, i hope all goes well for you! i like to think im doing the best i can for me instead of damage control. the progress ive seen in me has been a slow frickin process. i realized i didnt even realize i was paranoid or dissociating for a very long time. so technically im like a construction zone permanantly, haha. sometimes i like to think "damage control" and sometimes im too in the pit to feel comfortable thinking anything other than "im doing the best i can". and then sometimes the stigma hits me hard when i see my mom concerned about me ... she strongly urges me to get help and tries to keep me focused on that im not crazy i just require meds and lots of help, haha. still fighting off that stigma.

i forgot where i was going with this. but keep rocking moot!
