I certainly shouldn’t have a problem this time! By waking up earlier I’ll definitely have an easy time getting ready and there on time 🙃

It certainly will since I found a place with normal business hours, someone that answered the phone, and an opening for next month!

I can’t speak toward all the options out there but when I added someone to my emby server and they asked if there was a playstation app, I looked into if one was available. From what I recall finding on the emby forums, Sony was basically just not responding to their expressed interest to make a client app for the platform(s). This applied to PS4/5 though, not 3

Also good to know! The only one I have much exposure to has that remote. I’m glad they came to their senses on the remote! I’ll definitely have to grab one when my shield kicks its bucket

It’s a good thing im never late to anything!

Also /s

I agree with you. I don’t want to set myself up to rely strictly on medication, I want to utilize it like a tool and try to find what works best for me. I’ll still have work I have to do regardless to maintain myself. Medication can only do so much. My goals do include reevaluating my current medication, but what I want most is a more defined direction in which I can look to better understand myself. I feel that will ultimately help me more than any medication.

Unfortunately the PlayStations are terrible picks if you run your own Plex or Emby. Sony doesn’t really open up their app space for the developers to provide client apps

Good to know the current boxes still work with the old remotes, thanks for sharing!

Sounds like me on buspirone. Went great until my heart started racing for zero reason. I’m very jealous of my friend who’s able to take it without issue

Too late for me now lol ive got something booked for mid March at a local mental health center, but hopefully this info can prove helpful for anyone else who finds this thread and doesn’t know there’s a virtual option. I’ll keep this in mind in case I mess up and miss my very fortunate appointment, though!

I’m actually hoping to go the other way with my treatment. For decades I’ve treated my anxiety/depression but never felt like I was getting anywhere with the medications. I’m hoping once I’m evaluated my psychiatrist and I can start working on ways to slow down my overactive thinking.

Well crap! Wish I knew that was an option, my work already gives me teledoc. Oh well ~$200 out of pocket is still worth the peace of mind!

I definitely am! I already know, but I’d like to have it professionally verified so my psychiatrist and I can try some new medications for me. I really need to slow my brain down to start tempering my anxiety and depression. I’ve already noticed that’s the pecking order. I can’t stop thinking > get anxious > get depressed. I’m tired of that chain destroying myself and any meaningful relationships I try to pursue

My PCP and I haven’t been able to meet much. It takes just as long to see him. That’s along my train of thought when I reached out to my psychiatrist to inquire if she could help. Luckily I found a place that can get me in sooner.

While I appreciate your recognition of our hellish political landscape, I’m choosing to completely disregard your “advice” as it’s entirely unhelpful and unproductive. I’m pursuing this specifically bc it’s already far beyond a disruption to my life right now. It’s a fucking nightmare. Without evaluation I can’t get the proper treatment I’d like to help me mitigate the disaster zone that is my mind.

Isn’t it just the best? I hope you’re able to find a place that can get you in sooner than those 2

While venting about it to a friend, they gave me the info for where th y go for treatment. I gave them a call, asked and ADHD evaluations are the only evaluations they do. I lucked out hard and was able to get an appointment in mid March, now I just got to make sure I get there on time lol

They’re pretty solid honestly. I chose a shield over one bc at the time I wanted some apps that required side loading, but now that I have an emby server that’s moot. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the touch remote, but they still have a remote app so I can just use my phone instead.

As an Apple and Linux user, all the people I know that will"throw money" at new apple hardware have enough to not care. They’re not power users, they just want something simple and reliable, and apple hardware checks those boxes. The actual apple fans I know are buying refurb, using oclp to keep old machines going longer, or just wait until there’s some form of price drop.

I think it’s also worth noting to this person that the apple tv hardware costs LESS than a shield tv. But that head is likely so firmly rooted in their own ass that it’d take an auger to remove it.

This is another type of appointment I know I need to make, badly, but fuck if I’m not scared shitless of it. It sure would be nice to at least feel like we can get timely care

I kept running into that too. Every psychologist my psychiatrist referred me to had similar hardly accessible hours. I hope she’s got an appointment now and the psychiatrist is a good one
