Feel broken

[prettyhurts]

I've tried reaching out to my gp for help which was absolutely no help! She gave me a phone number to ring for advice and sent me on my way! Why is it so hard to get help when you feel like your struggling

If it’s mental health related then the GP did the right thing, in giving you the details of what I presume is a service designed to help people with the issues you told them about.

What did you expect the GP to do themselves? They’re not specialists, their job IS in part to identify when you need specialist support and put you in touch with that, they can’t treat everything themselves.

What happened when you called the number she gave you?

I'm so glad you've posted again its so hard anyway because of funding cuts and a general lack of awareness of mental health issues but with your situation you are being kicked down and made to believe that you are not deserving of support so when you come up against these barriers you don't pursue it. The most important thing for you is to get medical attention today for the physical issue and then start the ball rolling on getting help with your relationship mental health

I'm just scared could I not just go to the gp for a blood test rather than hospital because I'll have my 3 year old and 4 year old with me.

I just really feel so vulnerable right now

Oh it’s for bloods?

You really need to provide a bit more info if you want some helpful advice I think.

@7125r sorry I can't my previous thread got deleted i do need a blood test to check the levels of certain things in my blood stream but I'm thinking after 5 days it should be out of my system

I mean provide a bit more info on this thread so people know what you would like advice on, you’ve given such scant information it’s really hard to say anything useful.

Is the phone number for the blood test or a mental health service?

If they're trying to send you to the hospital it might be because you can be seen more quickly there.
Some hospitals allow you to book appointments for blood tests now, might be worth asking. They're generally really fast once you're in too.

I did something stupid on Friday which I then phoned 111 for advice to be told they would ring me back within 20 minutes which they didn't. Prior to this I have been to my own gp for help. I just feel like a rubbish mom rubbish partner rubbish daughter I couldn't even make peace with my mom before she died I just feel so guilty and like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders

Op posted another thread which got deleted - hopefully some other people who were on there will see this. This will seem a bit cryptic but no one wants to get this deleted too! Op call 111 back and tell them everything, it may be out of your system but it could well have done serious damage, you really do need medical attention now

OP can you go to a walk in centre? It may mean waiting a while but you can at least insist you get seen.

You're not a rubbish person, you're going through a tough time.

OP, didn't want to read and run. I didn't see your other thread but it seems like you need proper professional help.
Have you phoned that number the GP gave you?
Call 111 again and if they don't call back, keep calling them until someone listens to you.
You HAVE to do the right thing for your children. You will get through this and come out the other side even if you don't feel like it at the moment. Listen to what people are telling you. Good luck.

I hope you've disappeared because you're busy with medical professionals. Please come back when you get chance, you matter to a lot of people and you'll get lots of support here

How are you prettyhurts ?

Hello I am fine thankyou I haven't seeked any medical advice however I have called my gp surgery and requested a call back from my doctor. I'm having a good day today, I've had a phone call from 111 to say they did call back twice but weren't able to leave a message they said I probably had no phone signal so there's nothing more they can do... I do some what feel a little bit different in having very mild abdominal not pain more of an ache if that makes sense.

Thanks for your kind words I wish I knew people like everybody here in real life, maybe my life might seem a little brighter then.

Ok thats some progress although I'm concerned about your abdominal pain, please be honest with your gp about exactly what and how much you took and how you have been feeling. Thats a shocking response from 111, I would consider pursuing a complaint when you're feeling up to it!
