The System is Ineffeciently Stupid
1. Tried a therapist for the first time a few weeks ago. The system chose a therapist that will be a good match (It was the only one I could pick from). The therapist missed the appointment. (I’m cool with that, we’re all human 😅)….but then procedeed to tell me she didn’t specialize in crisis response (maybe that’s why I got trained in it)…and to find another therapist. I told her that’s fair but the system won’t let me choose another. I canceled because it was getting too much work….or rather I asked to cancel and it took 4-5 weeks of back and forth to cancel.
2. I shared my desire for an at-home visit to at least get the ball rolling.(Virtual ones can’t handle me 😅) because there’s only one car in the household and going to all the appointments would be taxing and complicated. This was ignored. Got a second message asking me to set up a virtual appointment after in-home visits were in my area but not licensed for this zip code
There’s plenty more….but this is enough. 🙄😅🤣
There is too much advocacy and lobbying in “health care”(including mental health) and not enough action to reform
PS I need another poster telling me “it’s ok for men to ask for help” when that “help” is messed up and subject to claims,, etc.
