Well, I got my medication assessment appointment moved but only by 2 weeks. [View all]

So, mid-August instead of early September. I'm long past discouraged but what can I do. I am on a call list should there be a cancelation but who knows how many are in front of me on that list.

The biggest problem is my therapist wanted me to wait until I had this appointment before setting up my 'wellness' visit with my APN but my prescriptions need to be renewed so I'll have to set something up and hope she is in a better mood or has at least found some compassion. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best, she was at about a 2 during my 1st visit, and maybe a 5 at the 2nd, and that was after she supposedly was 'counseled' about being more sensitive to patients with anxiety. I'm due for that visit now but I honestly don't think I'm up to it. I'm afraid I'll melt down or lash out, neither of which is productive. Best case scenario is she's booked up until mid-August. Then I'll just request refills to tide me over.

I see my therapist again on the 3rd.
