Hello

[LostinDarkness]

I was hospitalized in Nov 2013 , mental health ward , on a form 1. Spent twelve days there.
Since leaving I have been on a few different medications......

I have been on OW and applied to ODSP, as my crisis worker , and 2 counselors said I should.

Denied , Denied , Appealing..................

My initial hospital visit gave me a GAF of 35 . 10 months later I am 41-45 according to my
psychiatrist.

Hoping this site will lift some of my loneliness.......

I spend my days in a basement with the lights off , on my computer. Days are pretty much a
blur.

I continue to have erratic sleep patterns despite my psychiatrist tripling my meds on first visit and then
doubling them again on second visit.

I don't consider myself fat I am over 275 lbs. I wish I could say muscle but.......not the case.

If you read this.....thank you .

THanks Steve,
I have regular monthly meetings with a counsellor and began monthly meetings with my Psychiatrist in August.
I have also asked to try ECT as pills are not doing much. I know the risks but think it is worth a try.
My appeal is being handled by a legal aid clinic
