@Snowie

My pschologist cancelled for the second week in a row.

I know she cannot help it and there is nothing I can do about it, but it still hurts.

Now I don't have an appointment until the new year. They have put me on the cancellation list but I know it is unlikely I will get an appointment. I really needed to talk to her today about some issues and now I have no outlet. I know I can ring/chat on a help line but it is still not the same.

I really needed to talk to her about my sh and si thougths. They are rapidly going up and I feel an inability to stop them. There is just so much self care and mindfulness a person can do, especially when it seems not to be helping. I also had a run in with my mum which I needed to talk to her about.

I don't know what to do now, I don't know how to make this better. I just don't know anymore.

Oh damnit @Snowie ... I am so sorry. Twice cancelled now. That is bad, especially when I know you had some pressing issues you needed to talk to the psych about. The rare occasion my psych has cancelled on me .. I have felt devastated and badly let down. Of course its not their fault ... but to now have to wait until next year? Well ... Its just a long way off.

Could you see pDoc instead perhaps? Or book in to talk to your GP? Could you book a call with a Sane counsellor? I have found them to be quite good. @Former-Member ?

I am really sorry this has happened, because I know you have been struggling, even before last weeks cancelation. Now things will no doubt be building even more for you.

Hold tight @Snowie ... you can do this.

Thanks @Emelia8 for understanding.

I do feel let down and it is hard not to take it personally.

I don't know how to fix it or fix me anymore.

I feel like everything is taken out of my hands now.

Hey @Snowie and thank you @Emelia8 ,

The SANE Help Centre is certainly a great source of support!

Please feel free to phone on 1800 187 263, or access our webchat via www.sane.org (10am-10pm AEST). As Emelia8 mentioned, you can also book a call for a later time via our website.

If it is a crisis, please do not hesitate to call Lifeline (13 11 14) or Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467).

Hoping that you can find some comfort and companionship here with your friends on the forums 🙂

Hey @Snowie I am really sorry this has happened again and I’d feel similar disappointment if my psych cancelled. I agree with the others in that there are really good counsellors at SANE. I had a lovely lady once who was most helpful and I started with online and then she asked if she could ring.

Please don’t give up. We are all here with you and most of us are just holding on by a thread.

There has to be better days.

Oh @Snowie that really sucks!

I am so sorry. Not really acceptable, can you get in touch with the receptioist and explain where you are at, and that you cannot wait till January?

Sitting with you @Snowie 💞

So disappointing for you. 😞

Sending love and hugs.

@Emelia8 💞

I agree
