Edit: I was as to negotiate with the ones organizing the meeting to schedule for another day. I may have been panicked because I stopped Prozac for a while. I’m really sorry for lashing out like that, and thank you for your understanding.

I’m trying to get my diagnosis. Due to my parents not accepting me receiving mental healthcare, I had to do everything in secret.

It made my life so much easier when I finally got Prozac. I could finally sleep. Little to no obsessions or intrusive thoughts. I also stopped having pica.

But I can’t get a diagnosis in most places without involving my parents. Until I found someone who could give me one.

Thing is, if I miss tomorrow’s appointment, I can no longer have another chance at it. The health system is clogged and all.

I had everything planned out. Told them I was going out and all. But now, I can’t, because our basement got flooded and I have to stay in order to help them.

I know this is what I get for wanting the best of two worlds: my parents’ support and getting behind their backs. But I just didn’t want to keep suffering anymore. I just want it all to stop.

    Help as much as you can stand to, but do NOT miss that appointment. Lie your ass off if you have to, but get that diagnosis, trust me. It is very much worth it, and you’ll be able to get the help you need right away as an adult.

      Do. not. miss. any. appointments. pretty. much. ever. unless. you. have. covid. make. sure. that. you. have. things. lined. up. and. remember. when. they. ask. questions. answer. not. your. median. space. but. from. your. worst. case. scenario.

      (That you’ve lived through and can remember - because I heard from my shrink that we tend to be modest with our assessments but that these questions are best answered as if we’re at our worst.)

      Sorry that was so funkily worded, but seriously don’t miss any appointments ever to the best of your ability especially highly-important ones because you will not easily be able to obtain another down the road and missing a certain amount can blacklist you as a whole.

        Precisely. Also, unless you’re up to shady shit and don’t want to leave a paper trail, don’t ever pay for your mental health services with cash, maggot. Use a rewards card for those sweet, sweet airline miles.

          Hehehehe! Yeah, this person knows whatsup =)! Legit though, don’t pay for it with cash. And setup a payment plan if you need to =)!

          Also I legit made my name based off a joke gag from the show Mandy. On account of wanting that one asshole on the internet to see it and be like - YO, MANDY LET’S GEEK OUT TOGETHER! But I think it might actually be too obscure because I can’t even get a damn video of the cash maggot skit to show others the essence of it =P! But it is legit from Episode 01 of Mandy =P

          (This human is one of many Cash Maggots =P! It’s a faux-payday loans company.)
