The State and Private Healthcare

Hello guys,

Been having issues with the state and private healthcare. It seems private healthcare tries to do the least amount of work and doctors try to pass the buck anyway they can.

I luckily was able to get paperwork filled out by a nice doctor - but because they were busy I'm trying to get other paperwork filled out so that I can move to a group home temporarily until I can move to independent living and it seems everyday the situation changes; which makes me upset because I'm very routine based.

Now onto the diagnosis.

I have High Functioning Austism Spectrum with Schizoffective Disorder.

It does not mean I'm Schizophrenic - it just means I have traits sometimes that are similar. I don't have to take an antipsychotic as they do more harm than good - and doctors thought they would work - but it did more harm than good because i was a victim of a situation and there was more truth than what they knew (they didn't believe me; maybe because it's hard to explain myself which could be worsened autism traits)

But the good news is; is that sometimes I do believe things that are untrue - because I use logic to decifer things; but my mom and family is helping me understand what is real and what is not real and the situation that I was a victim of stalking, negligence and harassment was real. But other things like thoughts in my head or situations where I think things in everyday life are sometimes not true.

Alot of it has to do with my autism getting worse because of developing the Schizoffective traits but the traits can be treated with medicine which I am on.

I remember a while ago I posted a thread where I thought I was autistic but I didn't know until It was confirmed by a behavioral health center recently. They have helped me get advocates on my side but things have kind of hit a snag as of late. But it's because of the politics of private healthcare and paperwork and stuff.

But I am happy that I am diagnosed - because I feel better about myself now that i know that I have a condition that I cannot control. But God as my witness; regardless of disabilities - we are to still treat people equally regardless of there abilities - so my family have helped advocate for me and I know they are on my side with things involving my personal situations and health.

Bladder wise - my overactive bladder returned which I think I talked about. I've been thinking about you guys - and how helpful everybody has been in keeping me feeling happy regardless of my bladder pain.

I am still hoping to order cloth underwear like Threaded Armor so that I can put pads inside of them to wear to bed and on bad days with bad spasms. Once I move and have money saved up I can ditch the disposables - so that I can have peace of mind and so that others do not know I am wearing protection.

That is my update - I hope you all are doing well.

Blessings In Christ,

Yes, diagnosis is the first step to feeling better. Even if it’s an obnoxious diagnosis, it’s still usually worth getting to begin progress in healing. Thank you for sharing your mental health with us; to do so is brave. I’m glad it’s okay, most of the time, to be ourselves here on the forum.

I’m moving this weekend, alone, even though I’m supposed to be having total knee replacement surgery. My anxiety is through the roof, as is the quantity of daytime and nighttime urinary frequency.
