That's Oxford for you. 
Supposed to be getting a review with Rheumatology in three months time but three months after my appointment in November is middle of February and I haven't heard anything about a date yet. So I've just been referred and left again. My GP is lovely and has given me the advice of putting yourself first (when I explained the appointment situation she told me to screw them and go anyway if they won't let me 
) and she's trying to do everything she can for me. Which is hard to do when consultants can't agree. GP won't give me anything more for pain until I've seen neuro and see what they say. Going to try and mention the current mental health situation when I next go since as much as I'm trying to do this on my own I'm really struggling. It seems like every letter I get is more bad news after another and it's really taking a toll on me.
It is time for my health to come first. Im just pissed off at myself that it's taken problems with my spinal cord to make me realise that. Why am I such a *****y person? I don't feel like myself anymore.
Sorry for the rant.

Ah good old Oxford
No need to apologise. Sounds frustrating. You're not a *****y person. Stubborn yes, but not *****y. Glad you've got a good GP at least

My stubbornness has gotten me into trouble at work and now I'm worried about him deciding that I'm not good enough.
I'm happy to wait extra time to see that GP since last time I decided I couldn't I got another one deciding I was too fat. So now I always see my lovely GP.
Hope your alright my lovely
Thanks all for the lovely replies

I'm over the moon for you Heya, hope your appointment well. Sorry that I've been slow with my reply but I actually had a blood test and chest-xray a couple of weeks ago, haven't heard back but I'm assuming it's good news because they would have called by now. I need to go into the docs to collect my results but ugh so anxious for some silly reason -__-
She did say it's a swollen cervical lymphnode but that it feels benign. It still hasn't gone so I guess I have to get used to having this thing on my neck and realising that it isn't something I should spend time worrying about even though I did come across it so randomly.
However it's funny because I think through this whole lymphnode worry journey I have actually come across SEVERAL people with swollen lymphnodes necks and all of them are fine (including you :P).
I am just going to trust my results if I get the all clear (which is likely since no news usually means good news) and try and get some therapy to help me get over this dreadful anxiety.
Why helo there mr paranoia.

So, since saturday I have had dreams about:
- being a parent
- being a parent
- being a parent
- ninjas
- being a parent
Freud might say that my subconscious is trying to tell me something.
(I'm actually not joking about the ninjas, it was very Daredevil-esque (the netflix show)).

Sorry to hear that.
I had awful paranoia this morning. I got this idea that the workmen fixing the road weren't actually fixing it they were monitoring me. Got home, took klonopin, had a nap.
My spouse keeps telling me to get back on the Q. I know that you probably don't want to do that either.Original post by Sabertooth

It can be really horrible when you feel like that.
Huge well done on going to the shop!
When I get worried that people might break in I keep a knife close to me, if you think you'll be safe to do that maybe try it? Or a hockey stick/baseball bat/crowbar whatever makes you feel better.Original post by Sabertooth

But its the noises in and outside of the flat. Convinced people are watching me.
The guy im kinda seeing is kinda calming me down, but on the other hand his replies are really few and far between which is kinda hightening things.
Urgh cba going to the drs and explaining everything and risk more meds. I keep forgetting to take the ones i already have!

That's good that your flat is hard to get to so you feel safer. Could you maybe close the curtains if you're worried about being watched? Something else I do is dress like a total thug; which is different to how I usually dress, you know hood up looking intimidating - that way you might feel like you can trick them into thinking you're someone else from the same block of flats.
Perhaps you could skype the guy so he can't take ages to reply?
I know what you mean about the doc's, it can be scary and meds often have horrible side effects but if they give you a better quality of life maybe worth it? As for forgetting, you could try putting them by your toothbrush if you need to take them in the morning/before bed, or set an alarm on your phone. I think the easiest way to remember is to create a routine - like the toothbrush thing.

I think it's a good idea, even if you have to re explain the situation.
And you need to put your mental health before work, it may be that if this continues you won't be able to work anyway because of paranoia (from personal experience)
Nip it in the bud!
