I have an appointment every day this week. Two on Wednesday. Tomorrow I have an eye exam, Tuesday I meet with my psychiatrist, Wednesday I have my medical clearance for going back into eiop and I have my DBT group, Thursday I meet with my DBT therapist, Friday I have the intake assessment for eiop, and Saturday I have the orientation for volunteering at the children’s hospital to rock babies.
I’m not looking forward to it, when I have appointments every day, my fibromyalgia tends to act up more. Also, my eating disorder therapist wants me in php (partial hospitalization) instead of eiop (evening intensive outpatient), but I’m not even sure my insurance will approve another round of eiop, let alone php. They wouldn’t approve php earlier this year when it was recommended then, so I’m not holding my breath on being sent to php. Besides, I have no idea how I would get my schoolwork done if I’m in php, since it’s an all day program. And I wouldn’t be able to volunteer at the children’s hospital rocking babies. And I would have to quit my DBT program. So overall, eiop would be “better” for me. (I don’t know that it would be better at interrupting behaviors, but it would interrupt my life less.)
This sounds very busy. Praying you have the strength to get everything done. Hoping you will do what is best for YOU and your recovery, even if that means php.

It’s a lot to do. I hope your insurance will pay for what you need. I pray God will strengthen you and lead you to health.

Insurance seems to be what stands in the way of most recovery. It’s really sad that getting their money’s worth is better to them than making sure they do their job and help the people who really need to pay for this stuff. I’m wishing you all the best.

Whenever I face a tough day or week, I remind myself that it always ends, whether 5:00 or Friday. Dive into it, work it – it’ll go faster that way. I continue to pray for you!

Short term pain for long term gain. Insurance companies are idiots anyway. Praying over your busy week and for the best treatment options for you. PHP or EIOP are both great treatments. It would be nice if the world would stop turning while we do our healing work but it’s not an option I guess. Be kind to yourself this week.
