I agree, well done for calling and checking. Sorry it didn't happen today though, I know how much things like that can throw you. I'm proud of you!

Oh what I nightmare. That would completely throw me out. Well done for having yourself organised and sorry it didn’t happen but you seem to have it all in hand now and dealing with this a lot better than I would’ve done.
I've had 4 telephone consultations with my doctor and I've pretty much cried the whole way through....even though I've never gone into any details of anything other than feeling down all the time. It makes me feel silly and I feel like I have to say sorry to my Dr 🙄 Have 1....maybe 2 appts tomorrow morning.... I don't want to cry at every phonecall with him, I can't seem to help it though. Is there anything I can do to stop being such a mess whilst talking
I've merged your thread with your previous one.
I think it's natural to cry when you're talking about how much you're struggling.
You should never be ashamed of crying, particularly when you’re talking about how you’re feeling to your doctor. You don’t have to apologise to them and it will show them how much you need help right now.
hunni, I have merged this post with your live thread - they’re on the same subject and it makes things a lot easier for other members to keep up with the history if they’re all together.
It's good that your Dr is obviously caring enough and is being really good at calling you for multiple appointments.
As has been said you shouldn't need to apologise...
Just had a telephone consult with my Dr....Seemed like a waste of time. He asked about MH team assessment, I said how no one rang me....he said on my notes they'd wrote that someone tried to call but that's a lie because I know they didn't, I was waiting! So now I have to wait longer for assessment. MH specialist on 10th Nov and another appt with my Dr on 16th Nov....it all just seems to be taking so long to get sorted :(
It's annoyed me a little that they are saying it was me that didn't answer....I was getting myself into a state waiting for that call....why would I do that to myself, if I wasn't going to answer
That's very frustrating and upsetting for you.
I would double-check that the MH team have the correct number for you.... just in case a digit is wrong or something. Might explain things.
They'll have my number because it's the MH team from my GP surgery and if my Dr can call, then they should have no problem either
That doesn't mean that it hasn't been transferred properly. Always best to call, they might have tried when you were on a call to your Dr? You could also talk to them about whether you could be on a standby list in case of cancellation?
