wish i could swear....

Oh joys...how i just loveliving in the uk -not -

just had a letter from mental health team. was referred last friday as emergency. just got my appointment -19th march. wow they really care don't they. so - how many more weeks of feeling like this. great.

slept? no
happy? no
desperate? getting there
crying continuously? yes
doing silly things that don't help situation? oh yes
brain more like a jelly than a brain, constantly analysing, can't stop. stopped eatinow, which is good cos i need to lose weight - but i'm sensible and know i should eat =but can't.

very close to throwing myself through the doors of a mental institution and asking them to lock me in a cell somewhere out of the way.

sorry to rant, had to get it out.

Sorry you're having such a rough time, Jin. ((((((Jin)))))))

If it makes you feel any better, I'm at my wit's end trying to find some support, too.

There just aren't enough support workers out there in the world.......sad.

Btw, I wish I could swear, too. If I could, I'd swear for you, too, damnit!!

Why don't you try writing some good four letter words down? That might help.........

If you get any worse, go to the hospital. Take care of yourself, Jin.

desy

Or try cranking some angry tunes..........Rage Against the Machine usually works........they have plenty of swearing.......................

Go to limewire.com. Download "Killing In the Name Of". That's a tune that'll get you going.........

Good luck, Jin

desy

wish i could be with you dessy. we could just hug and feel better

I know.........I'm trying to get into the frickin support chat room.....not working...........GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm gonna keep trying if it takes me all damn night!!!!!!!

Stupid computer. Where's my damn sledgehammer?

(((((((Jin)))))) (((((((Desy))))) We can all use a hug sometimes

((((((((desy))))))))) (((((((((((kerry))))))))))
i argee, the mental hee-alth !! system in the uk sucks, i have been having my own share of problems with my cpn and support worker (they are useless)
ive been waiting nearly 6 mths to get an appointment to see someone to change my meds, as they don't seem to be working anymore.
i think desy has a good point about cranking up some angry tunes to shout along to. i find that if i shout along to NWA . straight out of compton.... i feel a bit better afterwards. *^&$£% and *^%$($ and "£^£!*^£$ .
thats better
take care both of you
dec

Kerry.............

Thought you were able to get in sooner!?!!??

Oh my, I am so sorry this is going on. I'm not sure what the health system is like in the UK, but I'm sad that you can't get what you need.......

I'm sending you lovely thoughts and warmth and I'm cussing like mad for you here as well...!

(((((((((Caj)))))))) ((((((((Jin))))))))) ((((((((Dec)))))))))

Yeah, CRANKING THOSE ANGRY TUNES HELPS!!!!!!! (Especially when the lyrics contain the 'parental advisory' warning).........

Glad to hear you are feeling better Jin.

Later.

Is your health coverage free? Is that why you guys have to "wait" for Dr.'s?

The NHS coverage is free.... yep

(and not many people can afford to go privately )

Is all health care free?

We pay dearly for it here.

nhs may be free but the waiting list for appointments are longgggggggggg

I guess no matter how you look at it we're all screwed one way or another in the long run.

The NHS is generally quite good for physical illnesses and disorders (not always)

But not good for mental health issues generally (although sometimes it is... for some disorders or if you shout loud enough ... lots of the doctors here appear to need some not so gentle nudging )

If you did get a T, do they dictate how often you are scheduled for visits? Like, do they say come once a week or once a month? How is that controlled?

(sorry jinnyann if we are hijacking)

That sort of thing....... it's usually weekly or fortnightly but not for very long on the NHS. It depends on the disorder(s), the Health Authority (area) and the doctors opinions which vary a lot (not surprisingly)

Geez.....mental health coverage seems to blow everywhere...

We "need" it so to be a more functioning society regardless of where we are.

Kerry, cleaning the house, yes, very therapeutic indeed.....my vice is laundry........

Glad you're reportig some happy moods as well. Hang in there, YOU are the most powerful motivator of your self and your thoughts and I hope you can keep your spirits high while the system shuffles your paperwork a bit...

Still cussing over here.......$%^##@*&*!!!!
