Hi is this blog active? I am trying to figure out how to ask a doctor if they will take me back now that I have medi-cal instead of my old insurance that I had when he saw me before. I know some doctors will only take medi-cal patients if they've seen them before but it's not for sure. I need to call and ask but I don't know how to word it. Thank you.

Hi! This blog is indeed active, we’ve just had a bit of a lull in questions lately. So thanks for asking! Here's a script that should help

You: Hi! Have I reached Dr. ****’s office? 

Them: Yes, you have. How can I help you?

You: I’m a previous patient with Dr. **** and would like to make another appointment with him, but my insurance has changed. I’d like to confirm that my new plan is accepted by this office.

Them: I can help you with that, what plan are you on currently?

You: I provider is Medi-cal.

Them: That’s one of our approved insurances. Would you like to schedule an appointment?

You: Yes, I would.*Make appointment*

Them: Great, you’re all set up! Is there anything else I can help you with? 

You: That's it. Thank you so much for the help!

Them: You’re welcome, have a nice day!

You: You too!

Hope this helps!

Could I have a script for telling my parents I struggle with mental illness and would like to get an appointment with a therapist?

Sure thing! 

You: Hey, Mom/Dad ect., I’ve been wanting to talk to you about some things I’ve been experiencing lately. I’ve recently felt depressed/paranoid/anxious etc. and I’m really starting to consider that this may be a larger issue. I would like to talk to someone about it, and was wondering if you would help me make an appointment with a therapist so I could start to move my mental health in a better direction. 

Them: I’m glad you brought this up with us. If you feel that a therapist would be helpful we can start looking into it right away. 

conversations like this are very difficult and often have to be repeated a few times before you see results. So if your parents are standoffish or disagree with what you feel you need, just keep having the conversation. All they need is time to adjust to the concept. 

Try speak positively about it, focus more on the getting better/healing than the illness. It makes the adjustment for them easier. and as always with these issues Stand Your Ground. You know yourself best, if you feel you need therapy that's what you need. Keep asserting this until they understand. hopefully this script can get the conversation going well, good luck!

hey umm! do you have/could you make a script for making an appointment with a school counselor to change classes (and/or one for the actual meeting)? sorry if this is too much to ask

No need to apologize, this is totally doable! Since I’m not entirely sure how your school works or who you would be setting up the initial appointment with,  for now let's assume that you’ll be going to their office and speaking with a secretary or assistant. 

To set up an appointment:

You: Hi! I’m looking to change one of my classes, do you know who I need to see about getting that done?

Them: Mr. Smith handles class changes. 

You: Great! Is he available now or should I make an appointment? 

Them: He’s busy right now, so it’s best to drop by later. 

You: Alright, is monday at three o’clock okay?

Them: Yes, I’ll put you on the schedule. 

You; That sounds great, thank you so much. Have a great day!

For the meeting: 

Them: Hello, how can I help you today?

You: Hi! I was wondering if you would be able to help me change one of my classes. 

Them: I sure can, which one are you looking to change?

You: I would like to *drop english and take another elective.* Is that possible?

Them: It certainly is, I’ll get that done right now. 

Them: Alright, all done! Anything else I can do for you?

You: Nope, thanks for all you help! Have a nice evening. 

That's about it, hope you get your classes changed!

Hey! I'm Starting School Tomorrow And Have No Idea If I'm Going To Be Hyperverbal Or Nonverbal. I Was Wondering If You Could Do A Script For Me So I Can Introduce Myself To My Teachers (Both ASL And English) Please? It Would Help.

Sure thing! Unfortunately I am not NEARLY fluent enough in asl to write out/record a script in it. I'm sorry, i’m working on learning i’m just very bad with languages. What i can do however is open this up for followers who are fluent to comment on. So if you’re fluent in asl plese reblog with any advice or script suggestions you have! 

I also searched the archives and found some potentially useful links here and here. As for a general intro script, here you go! idk if this is something that can be translated into asl but if it can any followers are welcome to take a crack at it!

You: Hi! My name is *name* and I’m going to be in your class this year. I’m really looking forward to learning with you. Do you mind if I ask your name?

Them: Hi, *name*! I’m glad you're ready to learn. My name is Mx. Smith, it's very nice to meet you!

You: It's great to meet you as well!

You can add on to the end of the script with anything you may need to brief them on (ie. pronouns, name, classroom accommodations) or continue a light conversation. If you need scripts for any of that just drop me an ask or search the archives. I hope school goes well!

Hey! I'm starting college soon and I know there was a script floating around about how to contact your teachers in an email asking them to use your preferred name instead of your deadname and your pronouns also. I was wondering if you or any of your followers had that, and if not if you could make one? Thank you!

Found it! That post was actually made before I became a mod so it took a bit of searching, but here it is! that should work well but if you need anything more specific don’t be afraid to send another ask.

If someone you have been avoiding shows up at your work and tries to reestablish a social relationship with you that you don't want, what is the appropriate thing to say?

This situation is a tricky one, you really have two options. A passive polite one and a heck off one. There is a time and place for both. It depends on how uncomfortable they’re making you feel and whether or not they get the hints. 

First off  I would try the non-direct approach, when they show up and try to talk to you make it clear you don’t want to talk. Be cold to them, don’t smile, give one word responses to everything they say, let them know you don’t care and aren’t listing with body language. 

Tell them you're busy and make it clear you are Not Interested. Hopefully they get the message and clear out of there without need for confrontation. If they're not getting the hints you may need to properly tell them to heck off. here's a script for that!

Them: Hey! I was wondering if you wanted to go out with some friends of mine later?

You: I’m not interested in going anywhere with you. I understand that you want to be friends with me but I don’t feel the same way and would appreciate it if you would stop bothering me at work, and elsewhere. It makes me very uncomfortable. 

The first part can be changed to anything really (I just made something up I don’t really know your exact scenario), just that last bit is important. Be firm in what you’re saying and make it clear exactly what you expect and want. You may need to tell them a couple times and if they come in again just repeat it. Maybe a bit angrier till they get it. Good luck with all of it!
