I want to cancel my skype and also facebook. I have googled. Sorry, I can't work out how to do it. I need to get rid of them both. Please, can anyone guide me what to do?

Mosp - you seemed to be doing so well Sad have you heard from your GP about further support?

I really don't know what can ever help me. I feel guilty about literally everything. I feel terrible for taking up people's time.
At least when I get therapy the unfortunate person who gets to fix me will be paid for their efforts. I tried to enquire again today but no one was at the surgery who has any knowledge of it. I've been waiting now for nearly 2 years. :(

Waiting for 2 years is NOT RIGHT Sad if you want to pm me tomorrow during working type hours I will help you get this sorted. I don't work in the NHS but I can help you find the right support. I can't do anything tonight but offer support but I can try tomorrow Smile

Please don't feel bad about taking up time.
Mumsnet has been really helpful for me when I've needed people to talk things over with, I'm sure the same can be said for many people on this thread.

Maybe Sane could help you access some support / counselling?

Their helpline is still open for another 25 minutes Iit's open till 11 every day).

Tell them that you've been waiting 2 years to get help via your GP, you shoudln't have to wait so long, it's not right!

To clarify- it has been two years in August since I went to my GP with PTSD. Since then I did start cbt but it was cancelled because I was too ill and needed moving up a level in the health care team. I do see a psychiatrist but it is irregular and not really helping. She's just there to make decisions re type of therapy. I was also seeing a nurse but I canceled her because it also wasn't helping. The therapy o'm currently waiting for is trauma therapy and my GP had to apply for special funding. I've been waiting so long. They don't seem to care.

Ok we need to "talk" tomorrow - I have good friends who are psychiatrists and therapists who I can ask for advice if necessary but also have experience of being on the patient side myself - we'll sort something Smile

threeleftfeet · 30/05/2012 23:07

Have they given you and idea of how long you might have to wait?

mosp · 30/05/2012 23:17

Thank you. No, no idea how long. Not even heard if I get the funding yet.

Doesn't help that my lovely GP (only one I will talk to) has gone part time since this all started. I doubt I'll live to see this through. :(

Mosp please don't say that we will try and help as much as we can but you have 2 beautiful children who need you.

MrsSnaplegs · 31/05/2012 12:05

Have you finished the essays yet? Hope so. I'm not here long. Got to collect girls from school. Got told off yesterday for letting them go off with friends after school without calling to inform school. This whole school policy thing takes some getting used to!

Saw a different GP today, trying to ask again re therapy. Not a GP I really get on with tho. Also asked to increase my drugs and give me more diazepam.

I'm such a mess :(

OP posts:
NotGeoffVader · 31/05/2012 15:16

Yes, just finished the last one today thanks, Mosp

I can imagine school policy is a PITA - my sister used to have hassle with hers when they had to arrange different people picking the kids up from the 'normal' people. I suppose it is in the best interest of the children (and a safeguard for the school) but it's a real pain!

Keep on and on at that GP. And go easy on yourself.
PM me if you need to, I'll be around most of the day although could do with your cleaning aptitude as I have an incredibly messy home to tidy.

MrsSnaplegs · 31/05/2012 17:00

Sorry mosp lost signal for a while Sad I guess I've missed you
Back home now so should be around most of the evening

Smile just putting DD to bed then I'll be back - so sorry I missed you earlier

MrsSnaplegs · 31/05/2012 19:32

I'm around now
What have you been up to today? How are you feeling?

mosp · 31/05/2012 19:46

Busy day, and had to fit in the GP as well. Got a busy evening too. Prob won't be relaxing for a good two hours. Sorry :(
I'm just trying not to think too hard.

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 31/05/2012 19:52

How was the GP ? I see you didn't get to see your regular GP - was that a good or a bad thing?

Original poster
mosp · 31/05/2012 21:02

Not a good thing at all. I find the one I saw today quite brusque. I just managed to hold it together and ask for more drugs and to chase the funding. If she asked me a question I didn't want to answer, I just stayed silent.

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 31/05/2012 21:08

Have you tried writing it down to give to one of the drs ? Then just say to them I can't talk about this but this is what I think/feel

Original poster
mosp · 31/05/2012 21:26

I did that when I saw the nice GP back in 2010. Now, there is no point putting myself through that as I just need therapy. They all know it, but it's not forthcoming. When I finally get therapy, I will speak. Until then, it's too hard.

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 31/05/2012 21:31

I was googling earlier as I think you said you were in Nottingham area - have you been referred here?
It seems as if it may be quite good
