@Dreamy Hello lovely how are you? Thank you for the beautiful affirmations. I missed them yesterday was struggling to even be in the forums here.
How is your tooth? Any luck getting through to dental?

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet. I'm sorry that yesterday was tough for you, hope you are feeling better today. I wasn't on the forums yesterday until late in the day and even then I had to step back.
Things are still tough and I've had no luck with getting through to the number for the salvation army to see if they can help with the cost.
How are you feeling today? Sending you hugs beautiful ❤️

@Dreamy I’m sorry things are still tough for you and that you can’t get through to the number to get help to access the dental care. It’s very unfair that Salvation Army don’t have enough lines do people can actually get through. It is just awful having to live with toothache that needs dental care on top of mental illness. I think you mentioned you were seeing GP Monday and I’m hoping some antibiotics will help get the infection out and you can get through to that number for dental help.
Im still really not coping and feel awful. I’m so tired of feeling this way. I just wish it wasn’t so bad.
Are you doing anything in the weekend? How is Caspar?

@Cuddlebear yes i do have an appointment on Monday and I'm hoping my doctor can help or maybe have some other suggestions.
I'm so sorry you are not coping and feeling awful, I wish things would settle for you as you don't deserve to be suffering like this. I'm here for you sweet and I'm sending you hugs ❤️.
I have to do shopping today but other than that I don't have any plans for the weekend. Casper is doing well.

@Mustang67 Hello how are you? How’s your day going?
Maybe referral was denied due to thwt psychiatrist not taking patients? Many have either long waiting lists or can’t take new patients on. I’m really hoping the new referral will go smoothly. Are you having a medicine review or therapy?
My GP has given me something to help relax the severity, though I’m sure it’s helping the symptoms are still severe. It’s hard isn’t it.

@Cuddlebear I am seeing the psychiatrist for a medicine review. Do you get side effects from your medication? My antidepressant has given me high blood pressure, so I have been put on medication for that and the antipsychotic that I used to have gave me high cholesterol and increased my glucose levels/ Oh and of course the big on, I have gained so much weight that it too is impacting my health. But I change the antipsychotic a few months ago, and I have already started to lose a bit of weight. I am due to have a blood test to get everything checked again, so it will be interesting to see if my cholesterol and glucose levels have also gone down.
It is so hard changing these types of medication. I remember that when I was going through the tapering of my medication about 10 years ago, I was already having issues with my niece, but on her birthday, I wanted to drop her present at the door and then sneak away, as I didn't want to see her. As I was about to get in my car, my parents arrived. I can't remember what my mum asked me, but apparently, I just went off on a tangent. My mum said in later years, that she has never seen me that mad or agitated in all of my life. So it must have been pretty bad. I always tell people that I turn into a mega bitch when i have to change medication.
I am glad that you have been given something to help relax the severity of it. Imagine how much worse it would have been without that. But yes, it is bloody horrible what you are going through. I really feel for you ❤️

Awww@Cuddlebear I am glad we have met too.
I wish the support button would start working, it is so frustrating.
I hope you are just chilling out and taking care of yourself.
