Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

OMG @outlander

Good afternoon, Laura. The process of referring a patient to a CATT service requires a discussion in itself, meaning if you are seeking a referral from myself for this, we ought to organise another appointment. At this stage, the waiting time for another appointment at my clinic is two months.
This is the reason behind my advice that you consider speaking with your GP given the very long waiting time. We have spoken today, and I am not in a position to refer you to a CATT service with our discussion today. Any further information, such as why CATT input may be sought at this time, would need to be considered within a clinical appointment. I do not refer to CATT outside of clinical discussions within appointments.
It's literally just the same referral to the other clinic and CATT as well. Why is he making is such a big deal. My GP goes above and beyond for me outside "appointment times."
She is away so I can't see her.
I just want to get out of class so badly to call.
I don't understand why he can't just send the same referral and just send it to them as well just change the name.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Why can't anyone help me?

I called psych triage again, and they said I need to speak with my GP, but she is away. I don't know what else to do.

I'm so lost right now.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 sounds like you're feeling really stuck 😞

Could you see another gp at the same clinic, who can access your file?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm so screwed @Jynx

The CATT team will only take me if I get a referral, but I can't get one from my GP as she is away, and I can't from this pdoc as he is so useless and said if I want one I need to book in another appointment which would be two months away.

I guess, but I really like her, and if I ask for more medication, she might not be too happy about it as I've asked someone else again.

I'm literally crying over this.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I imagine if you explain that you were in a pretty hectic place and really needed the support, she'd understand. You gotta put yourself first in this, and it's not your fault she's away. Could you talk to another gp about the referral too?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I guess @Jynx

Maybe but they might not want to do anything as I haven't seen them before.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Worth it for the chance it'll help? If not a referral, they still might be able to provide some guidance/support.

Re: Tw Not Coping

If they can't do that, then they won't be able to help @Jynx

I'm so screwed.

Why would he do this to me?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Still, could be one of those situations where it's like, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" kinda thing.

Are you referring to your pdoc? Sometimes we are bound by the rules and even if we want to help, we can't. It sucks hey.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sorry, I'm confused @Jynx 100%?

Yes, I am; he waited three months to tell me he couldn't help. Why couldn't he have just said that to reception when he got the discharge summary as it said the medication I got put on?

That three months I could have used to find a different pdoc.

Also, what pissed me off even more, my GP sent letter after letter to him about me being admitted under him at the hospital he works at, but no, he never responded, so really, it's his fault.

I just don't get home he can leave me out like this no handover to someone or anything.

I've tried so hard to even see him in the first place, and to find a pdoc all year and to be treated like this is just terrible.

It's making me so upset about all this. I can't stop crying. Even my suicidal thoughts are more present right now.
