Useless psychiatrist

[wombatsandaplant]

Well not actually useless but it certainly feels that way.

My psychiatrist was contacted last week on my behalf but still hasn’t got back to me. I just feel so shit lately, suicidal self harmy and what not. I was hoping I’d at least have a letter for an appointment by now. It doesn’t help that he only works two days a week.

I’m just so fed up. I tried to do a econsult form so I could at least speak to a doctor but system was like nope, phone the Samaritans instead. Which I don’t want fucking do, I hate speaking on phones especially to people I don’t know. I understand that Samaritans just listen and can’t offer advice no idea whether this actually true or not though. I need the feedback otherwise it doesn’t work for me.

I’m just so fucking fed up of everything.

Sorry to hear that you feel this way. I've found Samaritans very helpful. Like you, I don't like talking on the phone but find that Samaritans are easy to talk to. They are not meant to give you advice but I find that they normally do. I'm guessing that it's hard to listen to someone's problems and not give any advice. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Give Samaritans a try. “Any port in a storm.” Right?

Sorry it’s so difficult to get a sooner appointment with your doctor.

Well finally I have an appointment for next week, thank god.

Good!
I hope your doctor will be helpful.

Maybe you can get outside a bit between now and then?
