Yet another new person Triggers

Another new person here. I've lurked some trying to relax enough and post something.

About a month and a half ago I contacted my Ob/Gyn because I thought I had PPD. She referred me to a psychiatrist and I was told I had severe PPD. A week later I was admitted to the hospital. After almost a week in a partial hospitalization program I had to be readmitted to the hospital. This time I got a new diagnosis (bipolar) and a new medication (depakote) in addition to my antidepressant. I completed a partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program. Now I only go to therapy once a week and have started Zyprexa also.

I'm now out of mental health days. It's a good thing I was already seeing the psychiatrist. They know my days are up but they're trying to work something out with the insurance company so I can continue going to them. I still have to pay my co-payment for each doctor I see. But they aren't billing me the usual amount, I just do my regular copay. Typing this was very hard and posting it even harder but- I know I can do this.

Thanks for reading,
Vista

Vista,


Welcome--I'm glad you found us!


I swear insurance has to be the bain of our existence sometimes--after 3 years I still have to fight mine every so often.
