Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

THREE YEARS.
They haven't found me a FUCKING psychiatrist to prescribe my meds for
THREE.
FUCKING.
YEARS.
Waiting list. After waiting list. After waiting list. Kicking the can down the road...! Ghosted over and over again! AND YOU KNOW ADHD IS GREEEEEAAAAAAT FOR FUCKING WAITING AND FOLLOWING UP Y'KNOW??? RIGHT???
God FUCKING dammit.
Then you finally get your meds and RFKJr throws you in a concentration camp for your mental illness.
I am not fucking going to el salvador. But I might just go straight to hell. Hopefully I'll drag some fascists down there with me.
My experience so far is the psychiatrist is the easy part (if you have a formal diagnosis already); had a psychiatrist appointment in under two weeks after trying to schedule one but they couldn't prescribe anything without the formal diagnosis (they outright said i would probably benefit from medication) :/
They gave me a referral to a psychologist for testing; that appointment took over two months, and I'm... not happy about it. Didn't really go anywhere and now I'm looking again.
I was able to get diagnosed pretty easily. But getting to see a therapist has been impossible. I've stopped trying. After I was diagnosed, I tried to see a therapist. Get an appointment 6 months away. Show up 6 months later, sign in at reception, wait 45 minutes until a nurse comes and tells me the doctor cancelled due to an emergency. Reschedule for another 6 months later. Repeat the same situation. Four. Fucking. Times.
After the last time they pulled this shit, I stopped bothering. I'm sure it would be less of headache if I actually had money to pay for a private therapist; but I just have Medi-Cal and have limited options for where I can use my insurance.
✨ America 🌈
Just in case anyone from Ontario is reading, there are websites of therapists taking appointments, organized by accreditation.
Prices are also much cheaper than $500, but they are mostly over $150 per session.
I'm in America and my therapist is $150 per session before insurance kicks in.
