I have got a major dilemma.
It finally looks like the clinic for which I was on a waiting list has bumped me up to the top and now they want me in intensive therapy. dbt group once a week, DBT individual once a week, and a psychiatrist. this stuff actually takes up a lot of time considering the lengths of each session (about 1-1/2 hr each) and they said that my committment would require a year -- ONE YEAR.
well, it would have all been peachy. just peachy - a year ago! because my biggest dilemma has been to find a job and what do you know it -- i am being contracted to work with one of the largest corporations in the country. the position is temporary but the pay is decent and will look good on my resume.
but i cant do both. the hospital says that they are strict about following the treatment plan. i asked if i could just see a psychiatrist to continue with my medications and they refused! i am not turning down the job because its what i want. but if i dont go through with the treatment plan, but decide to come back in a few months, they wont take me back!! its insane.
what do i do?? do i work so i can pay my rent?? or do i not work (though i dont know how i will pay my rent and bills), but oh, my demons might be cured???
