Cass,
Even though you were flying by on a roller coaster, your post was very much appreciated.
By the way, it took me 10 years to pay off my first shrink. Owed him around 2000.00 but never could get my shit together.
I finally wrote about 40 $50.00 checks dated one month apart and told them this was the only way I could do it. He had a lot of turnover in staff but I think every one of them hated me!!!
He never threatened me with collection agencies, etc. Must have known I was busy losing my house and all my credit. That was 15 years ago..somehow, I didn't go nuts. Not any further nuts anyway.
Sorry to ramble..it's just good to hear from you.
As the above Dr. always used to say, "We're pulling for you." I always wanted to ask,"Who the hell is we?"Phil
> Today has been a roller coaster. First thing this morning, I had left a message with my pdoc's exchange saying that it was urgent. He still hadn't called by 3:00, so I called again and left another message. Around the middle of the day, I got a little potentially good news in terms of finances. I felt a little better. But when I called my pdoc again later, the office had already left. I can't believe he didn't call me back. I also had left him a message last Friday. Why would he ignore an urgent message from me? I owe him money, and his secretary has been upset about it. I've even wondered if she didn't give him the messages, but I doubt she would stoop that low. I am devastated. Doesn't he care if I live or die? I'm alive, as you all can tell, but you have no idea how much I'm teetering on the edge. I have one foot in life and the other in death. I feel like someone who is terminally ill. Death feels so close.
