On St. Thomas' DBT waitlist

[tsukikage85]

I called St. Thomas' Interprofessional Center again today to see if a space had opened up in their DBT program, and when they again said that the program won't be open until September I asked if there was a waiting list, and there is. (Apparently I didn't think to ask if there was a waiting list last time. The funny thing is the woman on the phone said something like "There is, or you can call back later... Oh wait, that would just put you further down on the waiting list." That's the kind of fish-out that I would make.) They also asked if I have insurance and when I said I did she told me that they serve people without insurance, but then I mentioned that I only make $14k and really can't afford DBT even with insurance, she was just like "Oh, okay, that makes sense.", so I guess they don't *refuse* people with insurance - they just want to make sure only people who can't afford DBT are in their program. In any case, I'm on their waiting list now and will hopefully be "done" with DBT and well on my way to functionality by September 2014 (which seems so far away...).

I should be back at work (finally) some time between Tuesday evening and Friday, and should get my first paycheck on July 26th. Thankfully I believe I have enough groceries to sustain me util then, and my rent is taken care of through the end of August, so my financial situation is manageable.

I plan to finally get around to a wrap-up journal entry on my time at Nancy Page (and, more importantly, reflections on what I learned there) some time tonight. I'm just glad I took plenty of notes to help me remember, since it was over a week ago that I left.
