Re: not coping

Thanks for asking - it's been stressful but I now have internet at least, so things can start getting back to normal hopefully. Certainly nothing like what you are coping with. How did it go at the GP this afternoon? @outlander

Re: not coping

no need to compare @NatureLover
if its affecting you, its affecting you, that's what matters.

the gp is so confusing. I finally got the referral after the stuff around today, and I said that im abit stressed over how much a gastroscopy costs and that my heath insurance doesnt cover it and he said not to worry about it because I probably wont need one and not get to far BUT he has written in the actual referral he wants one done! I cant just fork out all that money!

Re: not coping

Thanks @outlander .

That is confusing about the GP. I don't even know what to think. It's been such a stress for you worrying about the possible gastroscopy and how to pay for it... I hope it can be clarified one way or the other.

Did the bank ring?

Re: not coping

yeah it is stressful @NatureLover

and yeah the bank rung and gave me the reasons why and I can see why now and it was an honest mistake on my behalf but I wont be apple to reapply for 3 months because the automatic system will decline it again till my credit score gets back to where it was.

Re: not coping

Am sorry you can't apply for another 3 months. All this stress can't be helping your pain levels? @outlander

Re: not coping

no its not helping @NatureLover
I think I over ate again cause its flared up.
im going to try my luck with an aunty, she has a credit card and I really normally wouldn't ask but she might consider it if I make up a strict payment plan with her or I can just pay it straight back into the credit card or something.
I really don't want to ask but it might be the only other option for now unless I go to the ed. im really terrified to go there though.

Re: not coping

Sorry you are terrified. Trying your auntie sounds like a good idea. Good luck asking her...I will keep my fingers crossed she says yes. @outlander

No worries...we can all just cope with whatever we can cope with.

I'm lying down trying to calm down after a stressful day. Catching up on the forums. How about you?
