@Annc , sorry to hear about your husband’s vision, that sucks. Early on, I was getting my psych testing done in our county’s “big city”. The Psychologist felt sure I could drive to him, it was after all less than ten miles I suppose. It did not go well that day, a couple emergency vehicles, an accident and some construction coupled with a busy time made me a blubbering idiot. He decided to just talk to me and delayed the testing until another day. What I did the next appointment was to reach out to our county bus transportation. They have special buses, I call them the “short bus”, because they’re short, I could go to appointments at no charge even though I had not yet received my disability. The other thing our county has through one of the Adult Programs is volunteer drivers who will take folks to appointments, or shopping. Even our little city has a place that has volunteer drivers as well as volunteer handy people to do small jobs for folks over 50, I think it is. Of course with the pandemic, everything slowed down to a grinding halt, but they’re getting back up as the numbers drop.
Yes, the therapy has been a great help. I did start a topic on it. You can find it here One way to obtain a therapist
Therapy isn’t a pill that makes things better overnight, it’s a bit of work. The therapist and coach are able to tell when things aren’t good for me and slow down my homework or tweak it. When we decide to go into therapy of any sort, we have to be willing to invest our time and effort into it.
Hoping the best for you both!
