Trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire pudding

[SA89]

Understood, please read my message above that I initially sent to you in a private message. Lets just draw a line under it

[Jaquaia]

We cross posted.

I sent u this apology in a private message but ur messages have exceeded so I'll copy it here instead:

"Hey, I apologise for soundin judgemental to non depression sufferers, I shouldn't have generalised like that. My intention was not that at all but unfortunately typing doesn't convey body language. I hope we can draw a line under it as I appreciate ur comments on my thread. I was just tryin to reciprocate ur sentiments & offer a constructive comment but obviously it went down as well as a bag of cold sick! .

Ur response hurt caus anyone who knows me know I've always been very respectful which is is contrast to a controlling brother I live with. I speak my mind maybe too much at times but my heart is always in the right place I guess I just wish there was more support for mental heakth & less stigma. Anyway hope u read this & we can draw a line under it ".

Take a step back. Can you see how your initial response was not respectful to those who are lucky enough to nit suffer from poor mental health? How this was rude and not respectful?

but you've not even acknowledged that so I don't why I bothered.

The negative with communicating via text is, as you said, we can't see body language, that's why we need to put so much more thought into what we post. Believe me, there have been times that I have wanted to have a massive rant at things that have been posted on here, I've often typed rants out, but I've learned to take a deep breath, take a step back, and give myself chance to calm down and think rationally before I hit the post button. Often, re-reading things before we send it can help us pick up on things that may not come across how we intend. It's advice we've often given to members.

It takes courage to apologise publicly and it's very much appreciated

Line drawn!

Morning love, how are you today?
Could you get re-referred to the same nurse prescriber?

[Jaquaia]

I'm exhausted. I was still awake at 3...

How I understand it is it would be a normal referral and would go through an assessment with the CPN first and in my experience, they're awful.

It's possible I'm just feeling overwhelmed at the moment, what with uni, worry about my dad and my mum not listening to her meds routine. And now they want her to start reducing her shortec before they even attempt a nerve block, they've suggested no alternative and the gps have given the reduction to the pharmacist who cocked up her decrease last time.

[Suzi]

Can you not call the nurse prescriber direct to see if they can help?

[Jaquaia]

I've been discharged so no longer on their books. I promise I will keep a record and go and see my gp if things don't improve.

Jaq, you’re an incredible woman and I’m honoured to know you and be your friend

[Jaquaia]

That brought tears to my eyes. I think exactly the same about you.

Oh Jaq, you go through so much and offer such kind words whenever you can. You are a powerful woman and I really admire you for who you are. Thanks for being you!

[Jaquaia]

That's such a lovely thing to say!!!
