Thanks for all the pocket riders last night. The session went okay I think except I was kind of dissociated through the whole thing. I kept trying to do grounding techniques but I wasn't overly successful. I told T about the traumatic thing I was going to tell her. It sort of came out in bits and pieces and not so much of a narrative. T didn't have much of a response at first which was disappointing. I don't think she got how anxiety provoking it was for me to tell her at first. She asked me if I felt better after telling her and I said no. She told me that I have been through a lot and that I have had to try to just keep my head above water for a long time. Then she asked me again if I felt better after telling her and I said no. I think I do feel a little better today after telling her. If I can find the IST thread I'll post about it.

With the support of my therapist, I've started looking for a lawyer. This is making me so anxious, but I did send out an inquiry yesterday afternoon. I haven't heard anything back from them yet. I hope they actually respond to me.

Fkm, it is central AC, but I don't think it's to do with the outside temp. Although sometimes there is a greater than 20 degree differential, I have never had an issue in the way you mentioned personally. Seems like that would make for quite miserable conditions for people living in places like Arizona where it's over 100° in the summer. When I came in today, everything was back to normal and the thermostat was functioning normally, thank goodness. The temperature outside is 94°, the humidity is 52%, and inside it is 72°. But the thing that tipped me off in this particular situation was that I noticed the filter had been sort of sucked up and dislodged, so I taped it in the proper position. Then I watched as the temperature climbed four or five degrees in less than an hour.

Freaking insurance denied more days of IOP for me after today. This program is supposed to be about 6-10 weeks long, and today is only my 4th day. Like wtf. My therapist is saying I need this, the assessment people are saying I need this, and insurance is denying it. I've never had an issue with Medicaid before this. I don't know what else they expect me to do. I'm already going to individual therapy 4 times a week. After this weekend, I don't know what the answer is and I'm pissed off and upset. I feel like I don't belong anywhere in the system.

HUGS @SheHulk07 I'm sorry the insurance is denying more IOP days. That really stinks. Your therapist and the assessment people should be the ones that get to make the decision not the insurance. Can you appeal?

Hugs...they should have let you know about the 4 days from the start. I wonder if the issue is partly that you're also still seeing your T? They could possibly consider that duplication of services and may be willing to pay for just one or the other. I'm not saying that's fair or right, just could be part of what's going on. I know when a previous p-doc talked about my possibly doing IOP a few years ago, she said I wouldn't be able to continue seeing ex-T and ex-MC while in the program, though I got the sense that was a rule of the program (though maybe she knew insurance wouldn't cover it). Not being able to see them made it non-negotiable for me, so I didn't pursue it at all. |

The temperature outside is 94°, the humidity is 52%, and inside it is 72°
That's about perfect. The HVAC folks told me it's about controlling humidity; something about if humidity goes too much beyond 55%, the system can't keep up in cooling more than @20* below outside temp without too much moisture condensing on the coils and then freezing. In the SW, they have additional systems I've never seen--I think they're called evaporative systems? or I've seen references to "swamp coolers" but I don't know if they're the same thing--and also the HVAC service folks set the AC internally to a different measure to get higher cooling because of the lower outside humidity. ACs just have limitations when it comes to coping with very high temps with very high humidity levels outside. Thankfully, my weather only gets like that for a couple of weeks out of the year. I think you get more days of that! Glad it's working! |

They didn't say anything from the start and didn't know I was still seeing my T until I said something. They did get me 4 more days. I don't know if this is how it works...one week at a time type thing? It's so frustrating. |

Getting more and more nervous about Thursday's session. Comes to something when I feel guilty for writing something positive.

Got dinner going in the slow cooker: shredded bbq chicken with potatoes. Smells so good. First time making it so I hope it turns out good.

I made a package of basil gnocchi with a can of white and dark meat turkey and the zucchini in tomato sauce. It was totally yummy.

I feel a little bit better this afternoon than I did this morning. Plus Disneyland on Sunday so woo-hoo! I'm looking forward to that. I hope Star Wars Land is cool. But mostly I'm just there to hang out and see what's up. Mom and Dad will be gone so I figured I may as well go. I'm trying to use that woo-hoo ness as an impetus to get through the week.

I think I'm having green chili chicken enchiladas for dinner. At least that is what Mom and I discussed on our daily phone call at lunch. But sometimes she changes her mind and makes something else like meatloaf (gag)
