That's what I asked the mental health worker I spoke to Tuesday afternoon when she informed me that I wouldn't be able to schedule an appointment until September (to be seen in October!) and asked if I wanted to make use of their crisis services. Of course, I gave her no opportunity to answer, as I was busy telling her my short list of reasons why I'm not in crisis.- I'm not suicidal.
- No self harm here.
- No risk of overdose or alcohol poisoning.
- I'm not really acting out ED behavior.
- While I have a history of EDs, I don't really fit the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder anymore.
Obviously, I don't want to risk being hospitalized. Though I know I could always sign myself out...unless I got 302ed by the state. I need to cast those fears aside. I don't have to talk about ED crap.
Thinking about this is freaking me out. I'll call the crisis line tomorrow. I just want to ask some questions about ocd, adhd and anxiety. Seriously, I need to get real and address the issues so I can get on with my life.
