RQT and Facts? -- "Outpatient" here means you go, attend and then go back home the same day. Kinda like going to work and then coming back home, once the day is done. So does "Outpatient" mean the same in Australia? If so, I really wouldn't sweat it. Go, get the help, and call it a day. It may take days, weeks, years but defiantly see what the program has to offer. And I really wouldn't look at it as " Hey, I'm going to the loony bin..". No. Some places house programs like such because they lack a place for it else where. OR It could be it's the added measurement to better assist the program. Sorta going hand in hand. Question- Can you possibly do your exams outside the classroom or reschedule due to the situation? Yeah, it means the same thing. I can't really go there though... we don't have private health insurance so it costs $160 for 30 minutes, and it goes from 9:30am - 3:30pm... so yeah, that shit will be expensive... Plus with my anxiety and how far away from home it is, it's going to do more damage than good.... and my therapist promised me I'd never have to go into one of those programs.. yet she lied to my face and started arranging this for like the last week or so before randomly springing it on me today...  I do online uni, so its already like 'outside' the classroom. I'm still trying to make arrangements to do my exams at home because the closest exam center is over 3 hours away and its just too far and too stressful. So like right now its so intense and full on, and I have so much pressure on me.. I feel like I'm going to explode at any second  So let me get this straight . You would have to spend $1920 a day for outpatient services and go for 6 hours billed at $160 per half hour ? Those #s dont sound right to me that would be close to $100,000 a year. Inpatient services cost that at a nice place. You should check and see if those numbers are correct. The six hours of inpatient sound off too. My daughter used to go for 45 minutes once a week tops and the occasional extra family counseling every couple of months or so. |

Its like a combined program thing for PTSD, Depression and Anxiety as well as the DID, so its like a bunch of different groups and sessions and stuff all in one day, I don't know how many days a week it is, but it goes for anywhere between 6 months to continuous long term treatment (aka, years and years and years,) I was told little about it, just that it costs $160 every 30 minutes, its an intensive program and its going to be the continuous long term plan for me, pretty much ongoing for a good chunk of my life, and then some, as DID is a lifelong mental illness (already lived with it since I was 4 so I'm used to it) just sucks that the treatment for managing it and stuff is so goddamn expensive. I've been trying to find out more info but its the weekend and no one seems to be willing to answer my calls or emails. under Private health insurance its all covered, no extra costs... where as because we don't have that, we gotta pay a lot more... but I guess its a lot cheaper than other places we've been looking at. $400 for one hour 3-4 times a week, not including the cost of travel, or medication, or the other therapy programs I'd still have to go to on top of that.. It would actually cost lest for this outpatient program... but still... its a lot of pressure on my parents ): I also got my disability claim rejected, because the government claims I'll be "perfectly functional" in the next 6 months... despite us giving evidence and medical reports proving otherwise, they refuse to listen. It would have given me $400-$500 every two weeks to use for therapy and medication, but now they've rejected me... yet again another bunch of people telling me I'm not sick enough to be listened to or given a helping hand. So now we also have to wait until we get this intensive therapy started, get a like 4-5 different letters and people to confirm diagnosises (even though that was already done, they want it done again -_-) and then we can reapply with a slightly better chance.. probably will still get rejected.. but gotta at least try, right? Oh and we have just over 2 months to get this all set up before they close their case completely and we can't reapply for the disability claim thingy. so now my parents are trying to figure out how to get me private health insurance, and not go into debt from it... It not only has affected my family, but also myself as well as my alters... in this last week alone we (my alters and myself) have been told my alters don't exist despite the years of proof we have, we've been backstabbed, lied to, threatened, abused even more... and now they want us to go to hospital treatment even though they promised us they wouldn't make us go, because our last psychologist threatened to put us in the hospital and ensure we're labelled as psychos and kept there for life, and then were abused even further by the people we tried to tell, which left a lasting traumatic memory which affects us all to this day. so you can kinda see how we really REAAAALLLY do not want to do this.. but we don't have much of a choice in the matter... should be used to it by now though, its happened all our lives... Never get a say in anything, just be who they want you to be, do what they demand you to do and don't say a word or you get punished... we've spoken about stuff.. and now they're putting us in hospital as a punishment. (shoved it in a spoiler so it doesn't take up a massive chunk of space)
Right about now, I'm just staring at a wall wishing that I just f***ing died last year instead of going to the hospital...
I'm defiantely not having a good day, at all.  |

Holy Crap things are different down under.... I haven't been involved in mental health treatment for many years, but when I was , a patient's outpatient plan had to be reasonable. People have time and financial restrictions ! While it may be great to say you are going to do this and this blah blah blah there always had to be a realistic game plan. Maybe a lawyer would help with a disability claim. Take a big breath and always know people care about you around here Noxian.

SUP B*TCHEZ~ My name is Jake, nice to meet ya all,  Noxian lost her shit freaking out over how she'd afford this shitty treatment and disappeared leaving me to look after her, well.. Life? Found out her parents are pissed at her Therapist, wouldn't bloody blame em to be honest! She said that there were going to be "in house" psychotherapist treatment at the place Nox goes to have that like... Oprah talk show moment... Y'know, where they confess their life stories and blah blah, super boring shit. But nope, the she promised Nox wouldn't have to go to a psych ward, but NOPE they're trying to ship us out there ASAP. Good shit though, parents got the private health insurance for just her so its not as goddamn expensive! Plus they give her cashola back after every sesh she has at the loony bin! f***ing yes! That shit be f***ing insane though... $160 bucks for 30 minutes? What the hell is this? An escort service?!  Anyways, just thought she'd appreciate me updating all this stuff for her, she'll be back within the next few days if all goes well... If not, probably Sayber will take over again or some shit, let's just hope it doesn't come down to that eh? Over and Out! - Jake |

I'm not sure you can patent shit. I mean everything does it. Course if you could you'd make a fortune in royalties.

...Says the woman who went through childbirth.
Random Fact: Woman only bring up the pain of childbirth to be all "We're better than you." or "I went through labour and this is how you repay me?"
Random Thought: They aren't the only ones who went through it. I was born of woman and it wasn't all fun and games for me. Then I had to go through it a second time with the birth of my son. Women be crazy.

RT- F
I see why you guys get bent out of shape when a woman goes on about that.
But in all honesty, I think it stems from years of man's ridiculous thoughts of women being the weaker sex. So we are forced to counter attack by saying " f*** off- We make babies..".
Realistically speaking, We are bad asses for carrying and birthing human beings. That's not a thought, that is a fact.
RF- The role you men play is just as important IMO. The creation is partly yours and to stand by us as we bring the offspring of two people, into this world is the most important thing you will ever do.
RF- " Women be crazy " is a bit stereotypical. True.. While carrying a child, biologically our bodies go into crazy mode.. But that doesn't nor should it qualify us as being crazy.
A woman who chops off her husbands dick for cheating is a bit off her rocker.
A woman who cuts an unborn child out of the womb a pregnant woman, just because she can't have children, is a whack job for sure.
But because a woman who is pregnant and is a bit emotional or snaps over the simplest things is not crazy. It called being pregnant.

No. If I was stereotyping you, I'd be all.. " He's Irish, therefore he likes to drink, fights everyone and hates the English with a passion.."
Now.. I'll give you the drinking part (  ) but I've known you since 2007 and I have never heard about you being in a fight. With anyone. And I also don't remember you saying anything bad about the English.
