Hi Traci,
I hope you're open and honest with the tdoc so she can help you decide what help you need. The out patient plan would be better than not getting any help at all. I really hope you give it a whirl.
I'm not sure that having a little paranoia when it comes to an x isn't a very healthy reaction. After all there is a reason he's an x.
I understand why you want to take care of your mom. When my MIL was sick the county provided a visiting nurse to come in twice a day. There maybe a program like that in your area. It would be worth checking into. Like somebody else said ask your tdoc about a social worker. Like your sister YOU have a family of your own to take care of. You're not well yourself. Your kids need to have there parents just like you do.
One more thing...I am a recovering alcholic. Been sober 18 years. I can tell you as soon as your mother is strong enough to take a drink she is strong enough to take care of herself and for her sake you should treat her that way. I know it's a disease and everyone doesn't believe in tough love. This is just my opinion but, you need to take care of yourself.
Your probably already at the tdoc so I'll stop. Please just know I love you and want the best for you.
Love,
Jamie

ok, here it is. for the moment im not going the inpatient route. there is just way too much going on right now and tdoc understands this. she is, however, looking into those day programs for me. she doesnt have a
Traci,
You sound SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the upping your tdoc does the trick. I'm glad that she is looking for an out patient program for you. It will be worth your time. This is none of my business so you don't have to answer but, why do you have to pay your tdoc out of pocket. Why isn't your insurance paying for it. They are required to by law I thought.
Oh well just being nosey.
Love and hugs,
Jamie

hi jamie,
yes, i do feel a bit
Traci,
I was just being my worry wart self. I thought you might be uninsured or something. That would be the limit for me...being uninsured I mean.
When I'm a mess I spend money too. I'm so cheep though I hit thrift store and buy JUNK! It gets so bad that 2 years ago I started cleaning out. I donated over $6000 of $1 or less stuff to the local mission. I've had a garage sale since then and made $1300. No I'm not kidding! It's embarassing. You couldn't walk in my basement for the first 4 years I lived here. I'd say never again but we know that probably won't be true once I'm manic.
Well take care. Feel safe! Love to you.
Love,
Jamie

jamie,
i once was uninsured and i went through the county mental health facility. that lasted about one month - long enough for the therapist to accuse me of being a drug addicted alcoholic because i consumed a 12-pack over the course of a 1 month period. because my folks are/were alcoholics, and i drank that much beer in a month i was automatically an alcoholic.
Sending you the biggest hug ever.
I wish you didn't have to deal with anything else so you could concentrate on you for once. I know that life never seems to work that way, but you have to take care of yourself.
I'm glad that the appt went well and you will be seeing the tdoc more often.
I am currently trying to get into the mental health clinic(about 6 month waiting list), which is thankfully paid by OHIP. I can't go elsewhere. I am only a student and don't have my own insurance. I'm glad you don't have to deal with that anymore. You are in too bad of a place to have to worry about not being able to see someone.
Love

thanks amanda.
Hey Traci,
I am so happy for you. Feeling good, "normal" is great. That's exactly where I am now. I have been cycling for months upon end without a "normal" phase. In fact I thought that I would just go up and down forever without stopping in the middle. I know you are new to this as am I. And we also seem to be pretty much in the same place. Both reaching a very severe place and then normal. Hope it continues for you. (and me too)
Hugs,
Amanda/Schitz
