I had my initial assessment in December last year and was told I'd be a priority case. It's now May and I've heard nothing from them and I'm too afraid of phones to chase it up
The state of mental health care in this country is disgusting. With a bit of extra help most of us would be living lives feeling supported and valued. Instead we're just these little annoyances and hardly anybody knows what to do with us and those that do can't afford to treat us when we need it.

Ugh. Managed to shower today which is a major achievement. I then binged heavily and now feel awful. Missed the committee meeting I was supposed to attend and haven't done a single bit of work. Really not feeling good at the moment.
I have a massive open day thing next wednesday where people are going to come and see our project's stand and we have to discuss it and everything. It's happening in our big computer lab and we keep getting emails telling us how loud it is going to be and how busy our day is. I am terrified to the point of wanting to throw up. I don't go into that lab during quite lab session times. The room is huge and I don't like it at all. I have special permission to avoid the labs but this is one of those times that I can't get out of.
Contemplating asking for something to take of the anxious edge but don't know how the doctor will take it without it looking like drug seeking. Gah.
