>Of course it happened on a Friday, when there's no way to get more info from the clinic. Instead, it's more time to worry.
.........I hear that! When I tried to get my son into the psych hosp it was a Friday....no way!>
>I still can't make myself go in there. It's one of those things where if I had a support system in place to help me, I could probably get over it, but since there's no such system, I can't face it alone, and I am so overwhelmed by it all. I managed to hold off on calling to cancel that appointment yesterday, but I don't think I can make it there..........Does the PB support system not help at all? You have me, and many others (blocked and non-blocked) rooting for you, and praying, wishing you the best, sending good vibes....whatever the method--the hope is you'll be here Monday.
> Despite all the good reasons to avoid the hospital, it's starting to look pretty good to me. Considering how many really good reasons I have for not wanting to go there, it's looking as if it might be the best thing.
>
.......I say, then, go for it! What do you have to lose?! The worst case would be coming out feeling the same way you felt going in. And, you just never know; it could be you'll come out feeling better.> On the other hand, I really and truly do not want to go through all the hell of adverse reactions to medications alone, and that's what would happen when I got out anyway. Not to mention all the problems trying to get decent therapy in the present system.
........((Racer)) none of us want the hell of adverse reactions nor do we want the hell of 'life as it is now.' But...you should give it a shot! If I had that option I'd do it right now. Plus, you are under a size 12 AND less than 50 years old! Who knows what could happen?
> If there's no help available to me, I really wish they'd stop telling me that there is and that it's just me refusing to respond appropriately. I wish they'd be honest and tell me that they can't help me and they wish me luck...........but...but...it seems that there IS help available. Maybe not a cure, maybe AWFUL food, maybe not even much of a help, but I think you should give it a try. You are so smart, wonderful, witty and important, how can you think it does not matter whether or not you are here?!
.........Plus, I would miss you TOO much if you were not around! AND having you around AND happy?? Wow, what a treat that would be!! (So long as you checked in once in a while.)
.........We've been around for a while now, us 2000'ders, and we'd set such a bad example if we just up and checked out. I'm also hanging on with fingertips, so please hang with me.

The saddest Shar at just the thought of no more Racer!
