aredneckbyanyothername: Have you tried getting Fan Free Clinic? Or is that a stupid question?
Not a stupid question.
I’ve looked into it, and from what I can tell (correct me if I’m wrong) the Fan Free Clinic doesn’t have in-house psychiatric care. So I would have to get an appointment there, go, get an appointment somewhere else, go, go through the whole intake process all over again, etc., etc.
I’m “in the system” with the Daily Planet, they have my history and records and I’m more at a medication management level there, rather than an initial treatment/diagnosis level. To go through the whole process all over again, of explaining my symptoms and re-starting meds, would be such a nightmare. And if the Fan Free Clinic doesn’t have in-house psychiatric care, it might not even be anything I can afford anyway.
Plus I don’t think it would solve anything. I think this is kind of just how it goes regardless of whether you’re insured and seeing the best psychiatric practitioners your insurance will pay for, or whether you’re like me and going to the homeless shelter to get your meds. It’s frustrating but the medical system takes time. It sucks.
