So the latest letter from the psychiatrist has been sitting unopened for a few weeks but i figured i should have a look as my next appointment is probably soon so I guess i should know when and where to turn up.
of course this isn't actually a letter to me, it's a letter to my gp, I just get a copy, so i can at least smile to myself when i read the line "I have arranged a further meeting with dumburn on the....blah blah blah"
Who did you arrange this meeting with, your secretary, co-workers some higher power us mere mortals have nothing to do with?? not me that's for sure, I could have planned to leave the country and do fun things for all you know (thankfully I haven't - i'm quite boring and the thought of doing fun things scares me)
So how about asking me when is good?? I know your usually booked up about 8 weeks in advance so trying to rearrange once i get the appointment in the mails means 16 weeks between appointments.
It was a bloody nightmare last time sorting out time off work to get to you,
well I got quite worked up about that - the least annoying line in that letter
So i calm down a little and look at the rest, quickly bypassing the yucky stuff we talked about last time we met
So I've skipped that at go to his thoughts/recommendations/prophecies
And he's had meetings about me and apparently..
I have been assigned a care co-coordinator
I will be receiving my PCTs locally adapted version of cbt/dbt
and in the future I will need more formal psychoanalytical therapy.
So a care coordinator, I've probably had one of those in the past but then i had lots of people working with me in the past, the name suggests this is going to be the case again, thanks for the heads up mate!
I will be receiving therapy and will need even more in the future??? I did therapy to death when i was younger, for several months it was on 3 times a week.
I have spent over 6 years building a whole new life for my self and silly old me thought it was working quite well. So what would be the point of doing therapy again now all these years on
Oh, you arsehole why couldn't you have stuck to the plan.
One year ago I was quite happily plodding along with a dull but satisfactory life with a plan to come off all the meds.
The two I saw before you came along were happy with that plan and got me through it.
By the time you got to me your job was supposed to be to say "Goodbye and good luck"
What have I said/done that make you see me so differently to the 3 other medical professionals I saw in the 10 months before you came along
Why and how have you managed to get right under my skin and annoy me so much
PLEASE TALK TO
ME EXPLAIN TO
ME, I don't know if you think I'm too dumb to understand, or if it's some other reason.
But if you need to talk about me, I reckon you need to talk to me also
