Im cold
I have a headache
I have packing to do
I have uni work to do
Im feeling lonely
I want sushi
Im tired
I have to wait 6 months to get an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS

A lot of Pdocs are like that. They just hand out meds like drug dealers.

Apparently my last pdoc was extraordinary! She ask me questions about how I was doing, how the meds were working and what was going on in my life. Each appointment was 20-30 min. She changed clinics and doesn't take my insurance anymore, so I'm looking for a new one. We'll see what happens.

I got ditched by a girl who I shouldn't even be interested in.

My family is pressuring me to get a job.

I'm almost out of herb and I don't know where to get any more.

When I think I'm "getting better" I realize that I'm just making excuses to live.

MMOoooooaaaaaannnn.

Dear bpgirl: Reading your post reminds me of why I left England in the first place. When I completed my SRN back in 1979 it was completely different. Patient's got to see the same doctor more than once and everyone I witnessed was treated with dignity and respect as well as getting appointments in a timely way. You have every right to complain. When I did my psyche rotation at Carlton Hayes Hospital in Leicester we would take all the patients out on the lawn on sunny days and have tea and biccys. We truly cared. Your experiences make me shudder.

My pdoc talks to much He wants to know aboiut everything in my life. He also ties to prove to me each time I see him that I am bp. I know I get it. I am bp just refill my meds and let me go.

I see my meds doc 20 min 4 times a year. I pay for 20 min $125 so I make sure I get it. Can you go to someone else?

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
