Wish I could be problem free!!

I was going to have lunch today and then didn't want to leave my flat.

I am under the mental health act and my psychiatrist wrote that she had no problem with me taking valium and zopiclone as I don't drink or buy drugs.

But I request them, go to the chemist and there was one zopiclone. I enquired and the bed GP said what I have heard about 59times they are addictive and we don't prescribe them long term.

Then she asked what my diagnosis is. I felt like saying read my notes!!!

I think if this situation continues (Giving me a weeks supply)

I will have to contact the practice manager and I don't want to do that really. This messing about effects my anxiety.

It's always something, just have to remember no one's life is problem-free.

Depression can make even little problems overwhelming. I know how it feels.

It's difficult at the moment with so few doctors offering face to face appointments.

Covid has done a number on the whole population, and made things very difficult.

Doctors are stuck between the rock of the Health Service and the hard place of patient's needs, and doctors themselves are burning out, retiring or just leaving the profession, it's getting so bad.

I moved into my current town 2 years ago, and although I've managed to sign on with a surgery, I haven't managed to see them yet, even for the introductory appointment! Just glad I'm currently stable.
