I called and wanted to take an appointment, the therapist is out of town , and if i want to take an appointment its not until a month!

I told my sister but she insisted i dont go to another therapist as he is the best in the area where i live ,

Im just very frustrated that even when i step up and try to do the right thing nothing ever works

Hi I can relate to this as I also feel like I sometimes need to fight to get an appointment. The only thing to do is keep on trying though and I’m sure you’ll get there. One month waiting times is long but the benefits after will be great. Please write here first support in the meantime and take good care of yourself

Thank you for the support, i will definitely write here as this place helped alot , i was very reluctant to get therapy, but i gathered enough strength to call today and i just felt frustrated that i have to wait a month, but i guess everything happens for a reason and it will hopefully work for the best

Good job finding the strength to do it! That’s a great step :) I hope you get the help quickly and efficiently. Just do the things within your control and the rest is up to the doctors.

I can relate to this as I just had to wait a month to get into a psychiatrist where I live. It’s very frustrating knowing you’re taking the steps to make progress and then basically being told you have to wait. But try to be as positive as you can and give yourself credit for taking that step forward! It’s not an easy step to take and while the wait may feel long just know that it will get better!

Thank you so much , what you said is really how im feeling , just frustrated that most of the things in my life are just not working well, everything either gets postponed or cancelled , and i was already reluctant to go this call i made today to get the appointment was a year later but i finally got the strength for it and now i see that i still have to suffer for another month, and probably more after the appointment because nothing will work instantly ..but i mean there's no point of frowning

Sorry that you have to wait, Kevin

Seems we're all waiting on something or someone. Hard, but just as I almost gave up hoping to see my G-granddaughter,she contacted me, unexpectedly & i was thrilled to see her. :)

Remember the one i wrote the poem about? She's 18 yrs old and has been "distant" even when I contact her on the phone or email. But things eventually work out, if we are patient.

Also, if we stay busy, time seems to fly :)

Do something you enjoy while you wait. Can't change appointment date. I often try to do that but doctors are quite busy these days unfortunately. Especially a GOOD doctor !

And your sister says he/she ? is the best.

Smile & be productive & remember to pray.

~ Love you
