Feeling supported by my psychiatrist 🥰

Yesterday I had a Walgreens pharmacist deny me access to my adhd medication, even though I have already filled it there before. He told me it was because of my anxiety medication and he told my psychiatrist it was because I have my medical marijuana card (which recreational is now legal in my state so it doesn’t even matter). Either way, it sent me into a really bad spiral because of former issues getting access to my medications and also because I have had extensive conversations with my providers about my medications and their risks vs benefits. I have never talked to this pharmacist before (it’s always one of two people) and so he just came out of nowhere and decided to block me from picking it up, even though it was already filled by another pharmacist and waiting for me to pick it up.
I emailed my psychiatrist and she called me today and told me that she reported him to the board of pharmacists and that my medication will be ready in an hour. She told me he sent her an email that made her very uncomfortable and that it would violate HIPPA to provide him the information he was demanding. She also told the pharmacist she reached today about it and that I have an entire care team who oversees my treatment and that interfering with my medication can send me into the emergency department because of my symptoms.
This was so validating because I have advocated for myself so hard for years without being heard, or being brushed off. My rights have been violated in the past and agencies have not been held accountable, even when I reported it. It feels so good to have a provider who helps me and advocates for me.

Oh , man

These last months, 🫨 (but June has brought me to my knees). Here I am, with insomnia with another week old migraine and a tired anxious body. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe tomorrow ?

Are you struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, or age-related health challenges?

Meet Kristo—he suffered from pains in his body, fibromyalgia, three heart attacks, and one stroke, and has been using a sleep apnea device since 2012.

After 25 years of diligently following the medications and surgeries prescribed to him, his long-term doctors informed him in mid-May 2019 that they could no longer do anything for him. By this point, his body had deteriorated significantly.

He could no longer walk well. His vision was only 30% after two failed eye operations. Using two crutches, he could move a maximum of 100 meters before losing balance and falling over due to the pain. He had been suffering from chronic fatigue for at least 30 years, dragging himself through each day.

His wife, his caregiver for many years, juggled her job in childcare with an unpaid "job" as a nurse, driver, cook, cleaning lady, gardener, and chef, leaving her little time in her busy, hectic life.

Kristo was told to get comfortable in a scooter for disabled people and a wheelchair because that was going to be his life going forward. Their world fell apart - until a friend introduced him to our program.

See the new man! Kristo’s journey from chronic fatigue and debilitating pain to renewed vitality is just one example of how our program is helping many people get their lives back holistically, without medications and surgeries.

We are looking to talk to 60 men and women, especially those over 50, who have health problems and are serious about finding a proper solution.

Your insights will help us build a program tailored to your needs. Participants will be rewarded with a 10% discount when the program launches. It provides transformative results, by the way.

Interested? YES or NO?

Kitteh just gave me a smooch 😻

Niklas Squishy Kitteh is seriously an Emotional Therapy champion. For a number of days now I've been in a crapload of pain. First surgery is in early July, and he sticks to me like super glue. He's such a punkin.

Being sidelined from crafting prevents me from enhancing my mindfulness

At the end of Nov I was experiencing some brain fog, fell and injured my left wrist/hand while suffering another concussion. I've already had 3 MRIs on my wrist. The next one is Tues, but this time it'll be on my neck to see if there's a pinched nerve directly correlating to my wrist.

I'm trying to remain calm, thankful for the VA and all of the wonderful care I receive. It's just with this situation, the unavoidable delays can been a bit frustrating. What's really lousy is that at first I could cross stitch with my right hand, but now my eyes and head syndrome are worse so I'm hosed. 😫

It'll all be ok I'm sure. Grateful to be able to feel, and have this platform to learn and share with others.

Misconceptions Of Mental Illness Can Put Put The Public At Risk 🙄

Yesterday I responded to a post regarding Narcissism, as I am a survivor of narcissistic abuse (Hitchcock style, seriously). Over the past few yrs I've uncovered instances where individuals who have studied a particular illness extensively, claim with all certainty that they've thoroughly captured all of its aspects.

This is extremely hard to deal with, because often missing facts perpetuate social vulnerability. Why vulnenerability? Because predators hunt and potential victims can be better equipped for self-defense if they know what to watch out for.

Has anyone else has run into a similar situation for this or any other mental health illness(s)? Dr. Ousterhout, what type of mindfulness approach would you recommend in this type of situation? Any other thoughts you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
