Re: should i swap???
Mornin folks, off to a good start again today with cuppy, fag, 100mg Sertraline.
A wee bit cooler here today but still supposed to get up to 18c which is ok for painting. I was doing it in shorts and trainers again yesterday, absolutely covered in masonry paint but it's water based and comes off with a scrunchy.
Had to look up Southsea on google maps Angel, any further south and you'd be swimming. What a lovely area to live in, and so close to the ferries, I'd be off doing baccy runs every weekend:D
To those of you that are having a bad start to the day, have a :hugs: those that are having a good one, have a:hugs: I have an unlimited supply of hugs today:)

Re: should i swap???
Angel your hair sound lovely!! Hope you have a lovely day with your mam. It was my mams birthday yesterday!! Enjoy it. The sea air will knock you out to sleep tonight!
Laura it does effect everyone, the thing that really bothers me is why should we have to go private?? Its a disgrace how long it all takes isint it? I have waited weeks for talking therapy and they only rang me on Tuesday. I had to refer myself as the GP forgot!! its shocking honest. I have been quite lucky as my mother in law works in mental health and got all the numbers for etc. But I shouldn't have had to do that the GP should have. I will never see that doctor again!! xx

Re: should i swap???
Dont get me wrong there are some lovely ones out there seen a new one since and was brilliant!! I work in local government and they are the same crap ones good ones. I just think they dont understand how much we suffer!! We should have to wait we should all be helped asap to get better. Then we would stop pestering them?? LOL Makes sense to me!! x x

Re: should i swap???
The problem these days is that health centres are run like a business and on a tight budget. Forensic testing costs money, referrals cost money so GP's tend to just keep muddling through with stuff that isn't their field. They try to do it all themselves, you know, 'just keep taking the pills and come back in a month':mad:

Re: should i swap???
thanks all so nice to have encouragement to get through the days :) and glad some of you are feeling better :)
its about a 15min drive to southsea so very close to the sea which is nice and have friends who do the baccy runs for me lol so is a bonus !!!! :)
i have had some really crap drs who have been no help at all but my new one seems very helpful and has had anxiety and depression himself which he openly admitted so i think he has more of an understanding of how bad you can feel :)
Well better go and make a picnic up !!!

Hi
Yes all too true - GPs themselves don't go short - the one I work for has homes abroad, care homes, drives a Lexus - big posh house, kids at private schools. Never been off in 15 years (part time) not getting paid whilst I am off sick. Real eye opener!
Well got to have a moan!

Re: should i swap???
Your right Mr W, they are a business, but we all pay into the business so we should really get help from them, as we all know a month is a really long time to be suffering and to keep trying different meds that make us worse.
It just makes me so mad at times. Waiting lists for this and that, people should get the help they need asap and not be left on 6 months waiting lists! Its far too long!!

Re: should i swap???
Very true Kendra - we should go on Question Time - well probably not - lol

Re: should i swap???
Laura, thats shocking you not getting paid. I thought the NHS were like us and got paid? No wonder your anxious not having the money coming in!! Awww it makes me so mad!!!
I'm still waiting to hear if I have a job! Interview was last Tuesday and the last of the interviews Thursday?? Whats that all about!!! How long does it take for them to decide if they want us or not??? They have to let us know by tomorrow so hopefully the wait will be over by then!!
Honest is nothing simple anymore?? x x
