What's Bothering You?

so unfathomably upset right now. chased my adhd referral because for some reason it still hadn't been done after a month, and the useless damn gp surgery texts me like, "i'm so sorry. nobody did this and the doctor has since left. you should make another appointment, i really am sorry." this after MONTHS of jerking me around for this referral and THAT'S the best response you have? you couldn't even take initiative to a) make me the appointment or b) just get another doctor to review and send it off in the meantime ???

and the worst part is i don't think my gp has even left ??? since her name is still up on their website. i think they're talking about the doctor who started the referral but i only saw her a total of two times AND she wasn't solely responsible for it. my usual doctor is the one who booked me in for the needed tests AND saw me right after. if she's left, the above points still stand, and they should've communicated that with me, ESPECIALLY if it was going to stop/impact my referral, but if she hasn't then WHY did they not ask her about it ?? i'm actually so mad and complaining wouldn't even do anything because it's not going to shorten the wait list. these idiots have completely screwed me over.
 
Different referral but this happened to me!! I don’t even know how they manage it. I’m so sorry they’ve done that
it's so bad, i never would've even know if i hadn't chased the referral myself yesterday because i couldn't see anything on my patient record. the fact that they didn't notify me themselves or transfer the referral/request to another GP in the surgery is insane. will definitely be complaining regardless. i'm tempted to just go private at this point, but i'm paranoid i'll pay all that money just to be told i don't have adhd lol.
 
My medicine is starting to kick in and it’s helping my mood, but I’m really not finally great still even though I have some things that I’m happy about. I’m hoping it’ll kick in more since right now I could honestly just go back to sleep.

Might wind up getting stuck with a much larger bill than expected for my procedure (bilateral salpingectomy), and it's making me wish my mental health had not tanked so hard and so suddenly, so that the procedure wouldn't have even crossed my mind. I'm thankfully in a position where I can weather it, but I also feel like it should be a crime to not be crystal clear about the costs of everything upfront when it comes to medicine. Can you imagine if anything else worked like medical care? Like imagine going to the grocery store and nothing has a price listed, you just have to scan them to figure out if that package of chicken breast is going to cost you $10 or $100. People would be rioting in the streets, right?

This is why I have historically avoided getting medical care... I know that even a minor surgery isn't exactly routine, or anything, but still...
 
Minor, but I realized that I didn't post in the Valentine's Day conclusion thread thanking staff for the favorite and congratulating the other favorites/winners. So now I feel rude. I replied in my head and never actually typed it....

And now it's late so if I were to post it'd be awkward.

So.... yeah ...✨️anxiety✨
 
weh weh

so I've had to stop drinking alcohol completely for medical reasons and my weekends/social gatherings lately feel very tedious which makes me worried I do have a bit of a reliance on it.. fortunately I'm forced into addressing it right now I guess. i like having a beer or something to destresssss ya know
 
I do not understand the fact that National Insurance have a phone number or a HMRC online app, because I can never actually speak to a real human nor can I specifically explain my national insurance pay problem to a bot or voice robot thing, cause there's nothing specific where I can say, oh I need to check if my national insurance is alright due to the fact that my old boss put down my national insurance pay as £4000 or even £7000 and the reason I only calling about it now because I rarely got my payslips! And I wanted to make sure this doesn't bite me in the a$$ later on 😖😵‍💫
Which is totally incorrect, I shouldn't have to pay anything, cause of how little money I received, but if HMRC has these payslips ya know? They'll see that amount.

So now, I have to write a letter and send it mail wise just so something can actually physcially be sent. And I'll be doing first class on that bloody thing.
