about psych treatment
apparently they removed me from the personality disorder testing waitlist without telling me, after i've been waiting 8 months for it because they told me they need to do the testing before i can get therapy, but not apparently they can't do the testing anymore because i'm in the "trauma treatment model"?
except practically i'm not because i saw the trauma psychologist exactly 3 times last spring and now she's been on leave for 4 months so i'm just seeing my old psych nurse again
and now they're saying i can't get therapy because i need to work on my dissociation first, only i can't do that because the trauma psychologist has been gone for 4 months and apparently now it seems like she's not coming back, so the trauma team doesn't know what to do with me and they say i might just have to keep seeing the regular psych nurse indefinitely (who doesn't know anything abt dissociation or trauma)
and i also asked if i could try SSRIs one more time for my panic disorder & generalized anxiety disorder, but the psych nurse told me the normal treatment for these issues is "as needed" medications?? like quetiapine or benzos. which is literally the complete opposite of everything i've been told about anxiety treatment before. but yeah so they suddenly don't want to give me SSRIs either, idk why
i feel so trapped lmao. feels like there's no chance things will ever get better because this is just how psych treatment is, it has been this way for years and always will be. i'm tired of trying to make things happen lolol
i'm supposed to be studying rn but i'm so angry / hopeless i can't focus kzjisdilufli
