It took me 6 months to get my first appointment and usually I can only schedule appointments 90 days out at the earliest.
My favorite is when the doc cancels the day before and then I have to reschedule for weeks out again
At least my boss is understanding and let’s me just cancel the day I requested off so that I can use the hours on the rescheduled date. As long as I tell him at least 2 hours before I’m supposed to be at work that is, otherwise he tells me, “Oh no, you can’t. You enjoy your day off damnit. Touch some fucking grass too. I’ll send your ass straight home if you try to work today!” He’s currently at the top of my list of people I’ve worked under over the years.
It was awful at the time for sure (and sucks when my meds don’t get filled when they need to be) but after having gone through it I can honestly say it was worth the effort
After getting the tools and strategies from my doc for how to manage what I’ve got (and research into the matters myself once I had the names for what I struggle with) life no longer feels like I’m playing on legendary difficulty all the time. It still feels like I’m playing on a higher difficulty setting, but at least I have a sword and shield to face my battles with instead of a tooth pick and some go getter attitude.

Sounds abysmal.
