I'm not really confident in myself with much, i attended an induction to care and support work the other day, except i ended up getting there a bit late on account of buses going past where i wanted to stop, and google maps lying to me :shakecane: I ended up getting sent away since there wasn't any more space for people, but was told to return next week as if i had been anyways.

Now today i get a phonecall asking me to attend another induction thing :excited: I'm gonna get all the training, all of it :colone: It's nice to feel like i'm kinda wanted for something, im curious where this is gonna take me, if it will get me into a job again and how fast :excited: I just need to skip over the "what have you been doing in the last few years" thing

^ this. Pets can make such a difference to your MH to the extent that in the US, a psychiatric service dog is an actual thing.


Well if the NHS would prescribe and pay for a dog I would definitely try and get in on it. Even if it didn't significantly help MH issues, I think it would improve quality of life.

Main problem is can't afford a dog on £70 a week ESA and when I am working I won't be able to look after one properly. I should probably claim PIP cos of the severity of my problems but to be honest I hope to be back in work before they bump up my esa let alone before a pip claim would go through. That said I think both those benefits are a bit shaky if you have intermittent problems like I do. Unless you malinger in between periods of poor health you are a bit ****ed benefits wise. Ironic that they want to stop people malingering but make a system that sort of encourages it to get what you are entitled to.

I just plan to lie or at least skip over the less palatable parts.
Was 20 mins late for therapy. Gd thing too - if I'd been there on time, I would have been barricaded inside! Some guy was mouthing off and throwing furniture all over the place :-O I was not allowed to enter the hospital. Police came and arrested him!!!

Today I learned that I really suit glasses and it's such a shame that my eyesight isn't quite bad enough to need them

Thanks peeps. I love juicy drama too :colone: Was terribly worried that my therapist would get hurt though. Hope I'm not attaching to her before therapy's even started :facepalm: No one was hurt, thankfully. Therapist and psychiatrist came outside to check I was alright, once they had the guy in the police car and it was safe to de-barricade.

Today's session couldn't take place due to all the pallava. We start properly next week, hopefully! :colondollar:

You belong here :yep: We treasure you very much! :love:
Why the mental health team wont take me i dont know. So stressful but i know my drs only doing whats best for me.

The put me on quetiapine and sent me back to my dr.
Asked my dr for antidepressent/quetiapine mix. She said yes, but didnt think sertraline would help as id a
Ready tried citalopran and fluoxetine, so she said shed have to call the MH team and ask what they suggest.
If they just a cepted me then she wouldnt have to do that and id get help sooner!
Urgh.

Also on the way back from the drs a man in a van drove past and shouted "get yer tits out" i felt really vulnrable and angry at why men feel they have the right to do that :sad:

I cant be bothered with this **** anymore. went to the doctors this morning cause still cant breathe. was a locum and she was ****ing horrible. she was basically ordering me not to go back to uni when she doesn't even know the first thing about me. she wouldn't give me anything even though its not anxiety. I absolutely hate doctors. I hate my existence. I feel like im constantly being let down by this hideous world. in agony
