Hopeful Despair
Confident
I am currently trying to find a therapist and I simply am appalled at the fact that no one gets back to you and no one seems to be taking on new clients if they do actually get back to you. I felt the last girl was just too different and I felt judged and not listened to. I really wanted someone else in that office but I felt pushed to this new addition to their staff. Took them 2 MONTHS to reach me after an inquiry from Psychology Today ad. I figured they were one of the many non responders. Saw the new girl 3 times, felt confident bc all my appts were scheduled and didn't have to worry about that at least. And then we get the call, not seeing people in person anymore (last 3 or 4 weeks) and she wants to change her entire schedule, wanting the day I was schedule for as her new day off. So brand new client and we're making several huge changes right away. So I called to ask if they'd stop sending me appointment reminders for appointments she cancelled and I would like a call back. TWO WEEKS later and then all she could says was we'll see what we can do to get you changed. Nothing since then, it's been a week. I don't think the therapists in this office are available at any times other than your appointments. Other places are completely full or non responders. The only place to go in a crisis would be our johnson unit, but I called there and the sounds were horrible and the nurse literally yelled at me and hung up. They give you meds and don't listen if you have bad reactions to them and I would simply walk out much worse than I walked in. We talked about it with my psychiatrist I met 6 months before he retired. He was really the only one who understood me and believed me. I'm afraid for another judgy therapist or, more likely, none. Because no one is available. I'm backsliding at an alarming rate and am terrified of being where I was.
Has anyone had good luck using betterhelp? Or any advice in general? I just don't know what to do. I'm feeling if I don't find someone soon, I'll too far backwards.
