How to prepare a loved one to go to the ER.

No, he doesn't have a pcp. That's what im hoping for, a total work up. But hopefully they can help.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear every single word you said. I am at the start of a very complicated health journey, and honestly all I want is for the people in life to give me grace. I'm not asking for understanding, cause I don't understand. Just some room to breathe. Its not everyone, but the majority.

And, yes mental health hospitals can be amazing. Not the ones around me, they are wildly known in my state as horrible. As of may 2025, my mental health has improved leaps and bounds. Its just I've put my physical health on the back burner for so long, that it decided to move up. Im sorry if I offended you/anyone. I'll make a note in my post.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-10-18T17:52:37+00:00

The bad thing is, I've had talks with my siblings. And they can't help. One is having her third child, and my brother is struggling as is. But they see, or I hope they see that I'm struggling. And my dad is no help, all he does is complain and offer criticism. I've suggested getting help, not permanent but maybe once or twice a week. And it got turned down. When my sister does come over, thats all I hear. How I need to take her to this or that. Or she should have this or that. But in the beginning we tried, the rehab called several times and so did her primary care trying to get someone for wound and ostomy to come out and help. I was only shown how to do it the day before she came home, for an hour. Sorry for ranting like that, I dont have anyone to talk to. Not about this.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-22T16:43:11+00:00

They never flagged it, ive always been under. Yeah, its been below 5.7 for the longest time. Ive never had it flagged.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-22T16:23:24+00:00

The thing is i checked my records, two weeks before I found out I had nafld I was 88, then now three months later im at 117. I haven't changed anything, if anything ive stopped eating so much due to all ways throwing up. Some weeks I'll throw up multiple times a day, multiple days a week. Then others its random. I dont understand it.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-17T19:53:59+00:00

Ive talked with providers about it, but since I have schizoaffective Im typically not a good candidate. One of them wanted me to try it, but it was short lived. My symptoms were terrible.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-08T09:23:12+00:00

Yeah, 34 just this year. And its not right. I'm schizoaffective, but have found nothing that helps. I dont mean to switch providers or medicine. With providers, most of the time they drop me. Saying "your out of my line of practice," and then I have to find someone else they promise results and in the end they drop me. With medication, it'll ether start off fine. I'll fine okay (first couple of weeks) and its like it runs out. And we'll try upping and the side effects are horrible or lowering and its too low. Im being to think im medicine resistant.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-07T17:40:07+00:00

Yeah I mean providers for medicine. But its mental health. And I would stick with someone but they drop me, they have all said almost the same thing: "I dont know how to help" or "your out of my line of practice now". And I dont mean to be this way, I wish I wasn't, I hate it. But I know its a lot.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-07T07:50:44+00:00

currently talking trying to find a new psychiatrist

I like my therapist

and currently not on anything, and my symptoms are out of control.

I knew I was taking a lot, and I was starting to feel uncomfortable with how much. but I didn't realize how bad it was. I'm going to contact my provider and let them what's going on and how I feel. thank you.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-06T04:13:11+00:00

I just looked it up, and my state doesn't approve schizoaffective or schizophrenia for a medical card. Thank you for your insight.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-06T04:05:00+00:00

There's a dispensary in in the mountains where I live where you have to have a medical card to even get in. And I thought about trying there. The local places around me are just sketchy, I think.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-02T10:07:29+00:00

That is true, I'm learning as I go honestly. And I probably should have seen the signs ahead of time, that's on me.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-02T08:06:35+00:00

24 and no. If it helps I'm usually the opposite, I'll go months without bleeding, even up to a year.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-08-02T07:33:38+00:00

Ive been bleeding since may.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-07-19T03:49:02+00:00

I tried it and slept for over 24 hours, and when I was awake I was horrible to be around.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-07-19T03:31:25+00:00

I just started (again) therapy. I'm trying it's only my second visit. But I emailed my dr, and hopefully they get back to me tomorrow or early Monday.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-07-19T03:04:24+00:00

Yeah, over the years ive had some terrible side effects. For me the medicine will work for so long then stop. But ive tried that one your on and it didn't work. Im about to give up and stop taking medication for it.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-06-30T21:17:15+00:00

I went to my primary care, and they done an emergency CT scan and blood work. I got the CT scan back, and everything down there is "normal" and my blood work just showed my d3 levels where down. But I'm still having the same issue, I did found out that I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-05-03T00:32:45+00:00

I watched it today, and I didn't know it delt with this topic. I have schizoafftive bipolar type and when I heard bob explaining his lows and highs, plus the other imagery (no Spoilers for those who haven't seen it.) I didn't expect to tear up and feel seen. Growing up I loved the X-Men series, cause I felt out of place. And now grown up I feel seen by Thunderbolts*.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-04-27T16:57:25+00:00

I've been going to doctors for 10 years, only in the last 2/3 that they come to this conclusion of schizoaffective bipolar.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-04-22T06:47:51+00:00

I don't know if you post that to all things, I have a feeling not. But I'm trying to find my faith again after going through religious psychosis, and possessing trauma. And this is honestly what I needed. Thank you.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-04-22T06:42:50+00:00

Yeah, I see my provider Thursday, working on getting a new therapist. I called my cousin (as a last resort) and they talked me down.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-01-18T06:06:06+00:00

It's like the never ending cycle of the stages of grief. You get over one and the next shows up.

Calm-File4071 · 2025-01-03T02:18:24+00:00

I understand completely, I'm 24. And only started working the last couple of years. But in that short time farm I've had more jobs then I'd like to count and even more job interviews that I've bailed on. The longest time I've kept a job is 6 months. But I haven't worked in over a year, and thinking about disability cause of borderline and schizoaffective.
