The College of Phsycians and Surgeons refuse to even give me any names because I live in Toronto. They only offer that service for those living outside Toronto.
Most of the hospitals refused me because of geographics and they make no exceptions. They all tell me I have to deal with the hospital closest to me and I don't want to do that. I have had bad experiences with them and don't want to go back there. Some have said they won't take me because I'm bi-polar and it's too hard to treat.
My family doctor says he doesn't know anybody to send me to.
The pdoc at the CAMH is passing the buck.
And so on and so on. The list of excuses is endless and I'm sick of it.
It doesn't matter anymore. I've had it. I don't have the strength to do this anymore. All that happens is I get passed around in the system and I keep falling through the cracks.
So, F#$@ the mental health system. I'm going to go this alone.
Thanks for your help. It gave me hope before.
