Hello everybody. First and foremost I would like to sincerely thank every person who has signed and those who have contributed over 500 dollars to help push my petition. Alot of you have no idea who I am and for you to do something like that truly fills me with so much gratitude. 

Now I do have a little update which I am not too proud of. Late last week to over the weekend, I found myself in such a down state, arguably worse than when I had to visit the ER the first two times. I tried to fight it, but monday night I found myself back at the ER. You can believe me when I express how badly I did not want to go, but I have had no relief and I felt it was my only option. 

It was the same process, I was left in a room for a few hours, spoke to a nurse, followed by an ER doctor. For context, on my second ER visit, I was referred to specialized anxiety clinic on April 10. At the time of being told this, it was 5 weeks away (which the doctor said I was lucky to recieve that fast, further highlighting the problem.). While I tried to hold off for that reason, I couldn't. I advocated for myself, along with my mother, who has unfortunately had to watch me go through this, but the doctor had said "I just had to sit on my hands" until the appointment. 

That statement really stuck with me. I feel extremely discouraged and it made me feel like my situation was obsolete. I was sent home with no hope in my body. There is a series of changes upcoming in my life and I desperately wanted to aid my progression to being my old self, but I was denied. 

Sometimes I really wonder what constitutes to a hospital whether or not a person does not need immediate support. Based on what I have told multiple Phyciatrists, Doctors, Nurses and Triage workers, apparely my intense plea has fallen on deaf ears. Lets hope I can continue to gain traction to help those in the ER's right now with the same issues. 

Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends, in particular my Mother and Father, Amanda and Marlon and my Grandparents, Mike and Susan for being by my side with a concerned, but listening ear. They deserve so much praise for that. 

Please continue to share as much as you can so we can achieve this goal that will affect so many. Have a great day 

Mike
