Three weeks?!
I just got off the phone with the mental health office. They said it will be a few weeks before they call to SCHEDULE the appointment. That is how long it takes to process the internal referral. I am like “WHAT? I can’t wait that long!” Of course, you would think that since I have waited longer than that to decide to see a doctor that a few more weeks won’t matter. But it will…it really will. I am not stable right now. I can’t believe it is going to take them that long just to call me to schedule an appointment. They say this is the normal procedure. What am I supposed to do till then? Keep on bleeding? Keep on crying? Keep on losing my grip on hope and sanity? Every day is a battle, a struggle…an uphill assault on an unseen foe. I can’t wait three weeks. I almost went off on the phone, almost screamed at her : WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO TILL THEN??? It’s not her fault. She can’t feel what I am going through. But seriously, I am resolved to go and get help, then this. I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

I completely feel you on that, I have an appointment 3 weeks from now too, the wait is horrible!
My son doesn’t have insurance or any way to get help, so made an appointment with the county for psychiatric assistance. His appointment is 3 months later, which is potentially 5 or 6 complete cycles later.
