Struggling

[TiredFace]

NC for this. I’m so done with my current life... I’ve held on the last year but I’ve hit a wall now. I’ve been crying all day. Im only surviving for my kids.I have OCD and I’ve kept it under control throughout the pandemic! I’ve managed to deal with it all when this was a real threat happening not a made up bullshit contamination fear! I just want the vaccine! It will put some of my fear to bed but they have lost me in the system so I have no appointment. I’m 45 and everyone 30 plus is now getting it.

I have no one to talk to and I’m keeping it together for my kids and work but I feel myself slipping into a dark place.

I feel pathetic writing this...

Sorry to hear this. Do you feel able to contact your GP surgery so they can chase up an appointment for you?

Hang in there This is not my area, but I'm sure lots of posters with similar experiences will come along to talk to you. We're (hopefully) moving to a better situation in this country. Have your details been lost by your GP, or in the national system? At age 45, you should be able to book online, or have been called by your GP surgery by now (in most parts of England, anyway).

Also, is the GP helpful with supporting you regarding the OCD?

Sorry that things are so difficult today. You are not pathetic tough, at all.

Have you tried booking online?

I’m in Scotland so It’s all centralised. I can’t book online.

I’ve had help on and off through the years with OCD as I’ve had it for over 20 years. I can manage it ok by myself usually!

Try this OP.

I’ve tried that @Wuurg but I just get a holding message. Saying to wait.

Gah, they are not making it easy for people are they. Have you tried ringing that number or are they giving you the runaround too?

Can you email the surgery?

Called the number today and there is no appointment for me. I just have to wait they say.

My OCD is taking over now... I can’t function. I’m crying and anxious all the time. It’s totally consuming me.

Sorry you are being so let down. I think you probably need to contact your GP both for support with your OCD and for them to resolve the vaccine issue. Have you anyone who could support you through this?

I’m all alone. I will call my GP tomorrow but I don’t know if they can do anything about the vaccine.... it’s all centralised here in Scotland.

And they just hand out pills for OCD! The thing is I’ve learnt to manage my OCD and I do it well. But this has just thrown me!
