hi
I have just moved to a new town, and dont know anyone, I have complex ptsd, and am just holding together, it seems impossible to even join a group in person with the covid virus thing. I am horrifically lonely, and just stay in my house.
no, I am not coping at all.

That's not good that you're in such an awful place, @selena564 .
Are you saying that 3 different GPs at the same practice wouldn't prescribe you any meds? I'm sorry to hear that.
I wish for some improvement for you, especially in your nights as they sound really rough...

@Former-Member @NatureLover @Lostandalone so it is late at night, am wide awake and just cant stop thinking.
i am just functioning through each day, the house is a shambles,!
i cant really even unpack my things, spoke to so many agencies and people on the phone but there is now a lack ofreal support available due to covid.
i have no idea what to do now.
down the street is a "community house" where you can meet people, etc
it is closed,,covid,, i emailed them 4 days ago, as website is up, no answer, so ?
tried another medical centre, only phone consult available, short phone call which didnt address my complex health issues, so ?
it seems all too much for me

hi, am waiting now to see when i get a psychologist, i have to ring state govt health to check this , and meds , am going to try another gp, if i can get a face to face consult , covid restrictions are being eased so dont understand why medical centres are now refusing face to face consults.
my dog is very protective of me, and doesnt do well with other dogs at all which means that she cant be taken to dog parks.,,,,, i have tried going to the local park and saying hello to people, everyone seems a bit self absorbed,,, dont talkto strangers i guess ??

@selena564 , sorry to hear you had another bad night. I can hear your frustration and that you feel overwhelmed by it all.
I hope you can find another GP with a face-to-face appointment soon.
Maybe you could email the community house again?
