Dear Sandy, thank you for the compliments on my name, though I can't take any credit for that. It did make me name my three children very unique names, though! I always appreciated having a name I could live up to or fit into.
Do you have a diagnosis? Not that it's so nice to be labeled, but if you are treated with medication, the diagnosis determines which meds can help you feel better. I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time with the system -- I've been really frustrated with it too, especially during 'crisis' times. It doesn't always work well. It sucks. I'm really sorry. It's so hard when you feel so bad to be dealing with a system that doesn't work very well.
Please remember that they mean well, however, and sometimes it takes going through a few people before you get to the one that you really click with and who really seems to care and makes a huge effort to help you. I've found a few people like that and they are the ones who I credit as having gotten me through the roughest patches in my life.
Have faith that there is kindness and compassion in peoples' hearts, and you'll find it.
Keep us updated on how things are going. I'm really curious to see how things go. You're obviously feeling pretty badly, and aren't getting good support. But having reached a low, things have to get better, and good doctors and the right meds really can restore you back to the way you used to be -- just imagine the best you've felt, and you can be that way again. Really -- it's happened to me, and I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO low and hospitalized less than 2 months ago. Please keep it in mind to keep you going.
