So bc I'm a tech geek

One of the services gave me a booklet of apps to try and I've found these really helpful so far so I thought I would share some of them or if you Google the booklet: useful apps that may help you cope better with your mental health but will come up with same or similar apps

I already use what's up and I'm in love with relax melodies

U tried Ada app? Is a self diagnosing tool for people who can never get appt with a dr(no different than online consultations that NHS will eventually roll out,more indepth!).

We have this thing called patient access to see our medical records and book appointments but because I hate using it as I can never see my gps calander to book a appointment and calling is no use as the line as constantly jamed I just walk in and ask the receptionist as there is never a queue and I get a appointment or call back quickly like now I have just gotten back, explained that I need to talk to my dr to request a MRI scan and have been told she will call me between 9:30 and 10:30 bc I'm that good at side swiping the NHS I trump their game and give them logical they cant argue with bc I have lived with my bi for 18 years (anniversary is on Thursday :-( ) so have learnt about it from first hand experience

I automatically woke up at 8:30, necked a coffee, took my sertraline, got dressed and was in the surgery at 8:50, Walked bk home, and just put my phone on charge as the battery is lower and recharged into my pjs as its freezing out there and I will need to fight not falling asleep

Sounds the same as round here. Here they can only book appts at 8,phone engaged for half hour,so have to queue b4 8,hopefully ur first in line! Online appts say u aren't booked,then they tell u u are,why u missed it,why i never use it! Time i actually get an appt 3 1/2-4 wks time-some things have ceased(the whole idea i think!).

As for MRI-what's that! Is like gold dust here! LOL

Hope they get back to u before u sleep! :)
