The Stupid Mental Health People
Today
GRRRR!!!!
How hard is it to get refills!!!!! Okay so if you have a mental illness in this county you screwed if you actually want to treat it. I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to get him REFILLS for the medications he’s on for bipolar. And were did I get …..NOWHERE!!! The County mental health said sorry we can’t prescribe them till the doctor sees him and the next appointment he can get is in June at the earliest. Oh so sad for you!!! Try your doctor. I had called his doctor to start with and they said go there and told them this. Then go to where he got them prescribed at the mental ward. Its like the hospital, they don’t prescribe drugs once your not a patient there anymore. I told BOTH OF THEM they won’t do it as I called about something similar and unless he’s admitted again they will not do it. So I called his doctor and they said called the hospital. Nope , they said call his doctor or the mental health place. I told them they both said to call you and we went to the mental health place directly! Well we will tell them they have to follow up. ANd you wonder why the mentally ill is that way.. I can’t get him the meds he needs and he has health insurance!!!! Why bother fighting…. I mean if no one wants to help him why should I???
I’m just disgusted. I should know this place sucks and just go somewhere else but its easier as they set up an appointment but these people its been one hassle after another. The counseling appointments if you get them last 15 minutes if that. They are the ones I went to and told me just to take a bath, when I was a wreck when my husband was alive. I complained I thought I would find him dead and my son was challenging (this was before he was diagnosed with anything) . She told me to ignore him and take a bath. Not to mention she was as pregnant as I would have been IF I didn’t miscarry. But I looked at her and felt like her life was perfect and sucks for you. I didn’t go back. I can’t imagine why I was nervous wreck ……… just because I knew what I was talking about.
Like today I told him he couldn’t go anywhere he didn’t have insurance on his car and he would get into trouble. He moved it on the street. I warned him they scan cars and a few hours later they did and guess what?? Yeah there was a knock on the door and it w as a cop to tell him that his car plates were suspended. That happens when you don’t pay the insurance. They gave him a ticket AND took his plates. FIne I don’t know what I’m talking about.
From Tuesday:
So there was an accident here not that far away from were I live. a cop car sped down our street , lights blaring. Highly unusual as we live on the same street as the police and they are going in and out of that building all day never with their lights on. Then you here everything else get dispatched,,,ambulance, firetruck etc… you know its an accident. Then there was a helicopter. I was outside and Andrew came home. Later we looked online to see it was a truck that hit a house and that the police were chasing him.
I had clinical today(Wednesday) and was in the trauma unit didn’t think about it until they gave report and one of them sounded familiar. It was the kid that hit the house and I got the full story there. The funny thing is that there a poll since its one of our online papers about the cops chasing this kid and causing the accident and that people aren’t happy as someone other than the driver could have gotten hurt or worse. That this kid didn’t have any warrants or reason to run from the police. Well being at the hospital I know that even if the cops didn’t chase him he would have done this and he wanted to kill himself and why he didn’t care. He had cut marks up and down his arms too. He was fine, walking around when I was there. They extubated him last night (he was on life support) so he was good and managed not to break anything. THey were going to transfer him out of the ICU (probably to the psych ward no doubt) Its hard not to make a comment on it as to what the public doesn’t know but with HIPPAA I’m not about to. I know I’m writing it in here. But there’s not alot that are from this community and would know otherwise. Not like if I made a comment on the community paper.

From Thursday:
So it is now Thursday and my emotions are getting the best of me. He’s been fighting me and everyone else today. Its nice out and he’s outside. The redneck idiots are causing trouble again like they own the block. THey are constantly in the street so cars have to stop. The other week they knocked down a cable wire from playing football. It could have been an electrical line but they don’t care. SO Dennis is screaming at them and its pissing me off. They are the type that if you criticize them..they call the cops but they are allowed to yell and scream at you. I tried calling on them and they then pretend they aren’t home. I’m usually to pissed at the point to "pretend" I’m not home. Its going to be a long summer .
