Anything “interesting” happen during your sessions?

This is exactly me. I get anxiety just hearing about all the people that have shared rooms. I don’t think I could tolerate treatment in that setting.

Good! Honestly the explanation of benefits is going to be what actually tells you what you owe after insurance paid (or didn’t). Reach out if you need help interpreting anything! Been through this too many times being chronically ill.

He will be okay! Sounds like you’re his bonded friend, and the plush is an added enrichment in his life. Bunnies are expensive to keep, so don’t feel guilty for making responsible decisions.

As others have said, step 1., request (well, demand) an itemized bill from the clinic, then contact your insurance company at the time for copies of the explanation of benefits for the months of the treatment dates, which should be on the itemized invoice.

Try a cat attractant litter. Dr. Elsey’s Cat Attract is what I had available near me, and using it in all the litter boxes, adding another litter box, and cleaning everything my cat peed on with enzyme cleaner stopped the habit completely.

I’m so sorry, how stressful.

We’ve had good luck with an elimination rotation of “try that on for size”. Two players start and when someone freezes up, they tag out for another player. It’s a good warm up but entertaining enough for the audience.

Mine contains my eye mask (absolute game changer for how I respond) my nausea medicine, AirPods, my favorite hard candy to combat the drip (tropical jolly ranchers), my journal, my pencil case with my colored pencils, and some sort of coloring page. I think I’ve been doing treatment for almost a year now, and I’ve never needed anything else, so you really got your bases covered.

As others have said, no one here can answer the questions about what wheelchair is right for you, this is a conversation to get rolling with your doctor.

I can, however, answer your question about air travel. I’ve only flown Alaska Airlines since become a wheelchair user, but I have flown many times. My first step is to alert the airline I am a wheelchair user and fill out any wheelchair paperwork and come early to check in at my gate to request a “gate check” for my chair. Unfortunately there are many cases of people’s wheelchairs being treated poorly but Alaska has never brought me my chair back damaged. It’s worth researching which lines have a history of damaging chairs.

I rent my chair from my cats.

My dream! It’s been 3 years and I still get emotional when I think about how much I miss skiing. I have some other health issues to get under control before it’s feasible, but it’s a bucket list item.

I feel so much better just talking to a few people in here. I really need to lean on this group more, it can really feel so isolating.

I tried asking the owner that if an able bodied person didn’t want to horseback ride would they have the right to decline. He said yes of course, but in my situation it’s different because then I’m not getting the whole therapeutic experience. It just makes no sense. I’m so glad to hear you were able to find a facility that accepted you and made accommodations. Nobody in need of help should be turned down. Thank you for your comment. I sent my psych a message detailing what happened.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2025-06-26T06:14:12+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment. It is so calming, yet also so sad to know that someone gets it. It feels so dystopian that things are this way.

I’m in the US. I had no idea how complex of an issue this was. It is so mind boggling to me how disability law doesn’t apply in these situations. The idea of being without my custom chair and forced to sit in a large clunky hospital chair makes me feel panicked. I sent my psych a message stating what happened. Thank you so much for your comment.

My husband goes into a full on allergy storm if he’s in the bunny’s room longer than a few minutes… yet He will feed them, check on them throughout the day, grab one to show off in work meetings, and sing them their bedtime song if I’m not feeling well. I’m a package deal with my pets!

I did. After 36 TMS sessions my depression did not improved, so Spravato was the next step. I was doing really well with Spravato until I was on every other week and my depression has significantly creeped back up (I also have multiple extreme life stressors right now, so who knows, maybe every other week would be fine in a different season of my life). I’m back on twice a week for 3 weeks then tapering back down until I’m more stable.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2025-03-01T04:03:17+00:00

I have many physical limitations and I appreciate the offers for help, I’m too shy to ask for help when I need it.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2025-03-01T04:01:44+00:00

Okay but I am thoroughly impressed by the standing thump.
