Hope all goes well


Thank you!
After an incident at the weekend which I won't mention, I had a GP appointment this morning. They are keeping me on just a 7 day supply of tablets until regular GP returns from his holiday, they said mainly just a safety thing and because they don't know me as well as the other GP does. They said he knows me best so is in a better position to decide with to increase meds supply

Anyway, as I was leaving the appointment, the GP I saw today said to me can I please promise them I will ring if I have any more problems. Anyone know in what instances they would want me to contact them? Do you think its just if I am not feeling so great to avoid any more incidents like what happened at the weekend and would it be just so they could have a chat and calm the situation down?

You hit the nail on the head, they don't want a repeat of that incident. I must say though, that's a lot more compassion from a GP than i've ever seen, your practice sounds awesome.

May sound a bit sad, but i'm quite excited at the chance of getting a job working in a vape cafe. Spoke to a guy running an E-cig stall the other day, and he said they are hoping to do up a recently abandoned buildings very soon, and convert it into a cafe. Vaping has become something of a hobby to me, one of my few hobbies i'm not utter ****e at (used to be half decent at both art and music, now i'm terrrible). I'm not looking for a big money job, just something i can be happy doing and pays the bills.

Then once i have that sorted, perhaps i can try to get over this crippling anxiety with driving, and maybe even start looking for a partner. Urgh, just thinking about it makes me anxious.
I feel really bad. I don't think I deserve help. I don't know what to do anymore though.

Yeah, they have been quite good to be fair. They have said I can see any of the GPs as often as I like, if I find that weekly consultations help me I am free to carry them on until I am ready to do otherwise

In them saying to phone them when I have any problems what instances do you think they mean to phone them. I'm unsure and worried ringing them to ask will just make me sound daft

What is Vaping? Never heard of it before but sounds interesting
Struggling today...

Really unsure how I'm going to be able to get threw the summer..

I don't think I deserve help because I feel like I'm subhuman. Just abuse stuff I guess. Keep hearing random **** he said being whispered and I don't know how to stop it and it's not like the people who are supposed to help give a ****. Just kind of reinforces my thought process that I don't deserve help.

I appreciate it must be very hard to believe that you do deserve help when the CMHT are being so ****, but you are NOT subhuman and you definitely DO deserve help :yes:
