My special place

Today I treated myself and went and got my hair coloured. I always struggle at appointments like this as I have to have small talk with people. It really freaks me out. Luckily I've know my hairdresser for years so it makes it a little easier but I still get really anxious.

I still have been searching for MH groups around my area. I figure if I have to drive a bit then that is ok.

I have found plenty of groups for rehab including drugs and alcohol, but to find a group for PTSD and/or anxiety/depression is impossible. Why does this have to be so hard. Why is finding help so damm hard. No wonder people opt out.

Well done for getting your hair done @Snowie 🙂

Sorry to hear 😞 Hoping you can find something soon... 💙

Well that was a complete waste of time and once again it is my own stupid fault.

Went to see the gp this morning, managed to get the first appt. She was late and rushed in about 15 minutes late. So already I felt rushed.

So went into get a certificate I needed for work. I told her about my psych going away for 5 weeks and that I am worried I won't cope. Her words were 'you will be ok'. So then I just closed down and didn't bother to ask for more help or tell her that I am not coping. So came home and did something I shouldn't have done.

I don't know why I even bothered. I felt so dismissed by her.

Oh @Snowie im so sorry you were rushed and dismissed. Not a good experience at all.

@creative_writer @Bow

I just don't see the point anymore. It's my own fault, I should have said something.

Not your fault at all @Snowie ive had many an experience of walking into an appointment of some kind and the person I am seeing is rushed, or not as inviting as they normally are and I just don’t feel safe to talk about the things that I needed to.
When will your next appointment be?

@Bow not for another month.

Even though I need more support I just want to cancel all my appointments. What is the use in them if I can't say what I need too.

Oh I know that feeling @Snowie ive fought with that many a time… to just cancel appointments cause they don’t help anyways. Cancel meds cause they don’t help. But I guess at the end of the day some support…. Is better than no support.

heard anything back from the guided service?
