I haven't been able to see my psychologist in 4 weeks because my work hours changed. Trying to find a new appointment time has taken over my head for the past 2 weeks and I've been waiting a couple of days for my psychologist to get back to me about a new time.
It's taken over my life and he's just off having a grand old time not giving a shit about me.

@TheVorticon that sounds incredibly frustrating. I can see how it would feel very much that you've been forgotten or neglected. I doubt it means your psych doesn't care about you - but perhaps you could express to him that you're feeling this way, so he might make an extra effort to get the appt sorted?

Mm @TheVorticon I can understand that - waiting is the worst. I'm about to log off, else I'd stay and chat longer - but a distracting chat with some forums folks could help?
Hope you receive word soon. Be gentle with yourself, night night 💜

Hi @TheVorticon
I just wanted to check in and see if you had any luck in getting a new time to see your psychologist?
Just an idea (and I know its not an ideal situation) with your work times changing, would there be any possibility of an appointment via telehealth during your work time on a break, or would it be possible to approach your employer and explain that you have an important appointment at a certain time, and ask if you could have time away from working to attend or shift your break time to fit it in? Telehealth isn't as good as an in person appointment, but in situations like yours it might be better than not having an appointment at all?
Warm regards

I'm sorry to hear that you still have no answer from your psychologist. It sounds like the regular day off each fortnight will be a great opportunity to have regular appointments with them again. Hopefully you get a response soon.
Warm regards
