I've had better days.

[naamah_darling]

Overall, I am not happy with the place I'm going to get counseling. I had another hour-plus long wait to see a doctor for, like, two minutes, in that waiting room. The doctor said something vague about someone had threatened to burn down the building, which, yeah, I can see how that would throw your schedule off. That's pretty awful, and I am

Unrelated to this post - I just tried to private message you this:

"Im updating my professional website in the next few weeks to include a note about me being sensitive to various populations including abuse survivors. In that section, I plan to suggest that if they tend to be tense in a medical office, that they may wish to write me a letter regarding their needs to either email or bring with them. I plan to link to your post of 2 doctors letters as a particularly brilliant example. :). Seriously, I think of that post almost every time I have to pull someone's pants down to expose more ass (for hip/low back treatment) or something similarly intrusive.

I don't think I was particularly clueless before, but you've definitely made me a more aware practitioner. Thank you. You're awesome."

Though after a very quick scan through this post, maybe it's not so irrelevant.

I hope you have better days soon.

I'm really sorry. I wish there was some way I could help, or make things better.

Do you have a cell phone? Could you explain to the nice waiting room people that the TV and people are triggers for the very things you are visiting their office to TREAT, and that you will be sitting outside waiting for your turn, and could they call you as soon as they are ready? Then sit outside the waiting room somewhere, or even outside until it is your turn?

Given that they have fucked up twice now and just left me hanging, I am not inclined to give them ANY way to forget about me. I pretty much have to sit there and babysit their stupid asses until they call me in. I have no faith that if I tell them to come get me, they actually will. I'd wait outside, but it's Oklahoma. We get two months where outside is an option, and this is neither. XD

I am debating whether to bring it up, because I don't want to tip my hand re: the lovely universal remote I just bought to turn that crap off.

I don't have a lot to add. I suck at waiting. I need distractions LIEK WHOA.

I have been known to bring knitting, a book, AND an iPod full of game apps.

And I don't even have it as a trigger. Just my fucking ADD and bipolar interacting.

I wish I could do something to help.
