  • To be honest it isn't really a GP problem. It's more to do with mental health team ie psychiatrists & connected peoples.

    Hi

    Been so stressed, not had any peace with the house faults (leaky roof and radiator repairs) and the tradesmen who have been very challenging to deal with as time went on. They start off OK then become less polite:(

    Our neighbours have been noisy outside doing building work.

    Feel rather peed off with my OH being odd when I offer to help him do paperwork and when I paid him a compliment.

    At least that woman has gone from my son's house but she needs to collect her furniture but the lift has weight restrictions just now.

    Feel there hasn't been any peace for months now and it is making me very irritable
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:
    I am no expert in property but have lived in many types of homes, in many locations and can only talk from experience.

    Hi guys

    Well I have just been to the docs and my medication has been reduced (at my request) and part of me feels happy but but of me is scared - all I can do is give it a go and see how it goes.

    I am going to be positive :)

    Hope you are all well x

    Thanks for the reply Ruby, there's only us in our family and his family is quite big. Previously we've all met up at dd's place for Christmas day (tbh it can be a bit overwhelming) but at elast we've been together. It's going to be difficult this year if they don't get back for Christmas as we'll be just us for the first time in a few years. I think I was just feeling a bit down, the missing is stronger after a skype conversation, we have a baby grandchild now so that's guaranteed to brighten Christmas!

    Well I hope you manage to enjoy it whatever you do. Great news about the little one x

    How can I explain to mental health services that I feel they are treating me like a joke?

    For a while now I've not felt my GP or mental health team take my problems seriously. They just don't seem to understand where I'm coming from & it's very upsetting. How do they expect someone to tell them how it is in less than an hour consultation?

    the devil made me do it, what about contacting PALS they may be able to help you.
