Thank you. It’s just the last time I spoke to my doctor, he said there was one last place we could try which was the one that’s just rejected me again. I feel so deflated and fed up with all the chasing up and rejections. The waiting list for neuropsychology is huge but I’d just feel better if I was on a waiting list x

I hope there’s some help around the corner very soon, I can imagine how you must be feeling x
 
I joined this FB page (well I was invited by a friend) about court trials, etc. a few weeks ago. In their rules, they said no links apart from news sites and the like and they deny duplicate posts as well. YT links of news sites are fine though. So a few times I posted YT links of news sites, but it kept on being denied. So I complained in one post of a YT link of a news site and an admin replied saying my post wasn't allowed because it's a YT link! Mind you I wasn't the only one complaining on how the admins do their approvals. So I just left that page because admins are getting annoying! FB pages can be really freaking annoying. I'll never join another one again apart from the book authors I like.

Transgender Sussex paramedic says patients refuse her help

That really makes my blood boil! Does it really matter that the Paramedic coming to help save your life or that of a loved one is gay, transgender or straight? No it does not! Surely what matters is that they have turned up and they do their best to help you. All Paramedics, members of the health profession and emergency services want to do is help people, the vast majority (there are always a very few exceptions) are so kind, caring and lovely towards complete strangers. The past couple of years has been so stressful for everybody and not all heroes wear capes.

I’m on holiday in the Lake District. We’ve taken Chester our Border Terrier. Who is only about 5.5 months old. It’s his very first holiday and he’s behaving like an angel. We were out walking with him when another dog walker said to us that they had put their dog back on its lead because their dog doesn’t like Borders! They said to us that lots of dogs don’t like Borders! Really. Rude.

Awww, how could anyone say that?! Chester is adorable 😍
 
I found out today that an ex friend and someone who I thought would never have children has just given birth to a little girl. It’s brought back all my emotions of not being able to have children of my own. Why can’t I just accept this? What with all the hassle of being turned down for neuropsychology, a friend being 7 months pregnant, my BPD and anxiety playing up, I’m feeling pretty broken at the minute. What’s wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you @Claire W. Nobody will help you with your unusual problem (or so it seems) and you are grieving over not being able to have children of your own. BPD is not a very easy thing to live with for either the person suffering from it or the people having to live with the person who has it. My Mum had BPD so how hard it is for you and your family to cope with. It must be incredibly frustrating for you to not have the help you need. PM me anytime you need to rant. I am here for you.

Thank you Jackie. That means a lot. I'm sorry that your mum suffered from it too. I often forget how difficult it is for family too. I'm just so tired of fighting the system all the time and for the grief that I feel :( I had a face to face appointment scheduled for tomorrow with the GP who has been referring me but this has now been changed to a phone appointment and I hate talking to people over the phone so that's adding to my anxiety. x

At least you have a Drs appointment it may be over the phone but that is better than nothing.
 
Can I add my good luck to that @Claire W . Even if they can't address everything at least something should come out of it 🤞

and I think that's basically victim-blaming. And then trying to justify it with a totally unproven anecdote. Dogs are dogs and if their dog has a problem with other types of dog that is frankly their problem and they shouldn't be visiting it on you - they should at least have a crack at re-training their dog a bit better! I'd have been very tempted to say something super-perky like, "oh what a shame because my dog just loves other dogs! Never mind, I suppose they're all different!"
 
Just had the phone appointment with the GP. I’ve been prescribed some new tablets for my stress, anxiety and seizures and he’s referring me back to the mental health team as a request from the neurologist :( I’m to go and see him for a face to face appointment on 8th July to see how I’m getting on but in terms of the neuropsychology, there’s nothing more they can do as my area doesn’t cover it so it really is a postcode lottery. I was referred to the Walton Centre in Liverpool but they won’t see me due to my current mental state :(

I had to ring my Dad because I managed to set two different dates for his birthday on Moonpig and couldn't remember which was the right one. Turns out my grandmother (his mother, the one I've not seen in about 12 years) had a stroke recently. The prognosis isn't awful, she'd had a fall which was caused by the stroke as it turns out, she can still talk and has all of her mental faculties (Dad says her short term memory is kinda shot, but it's apparently not been great for some time). Her left side is fine, she has 90% or so usage of her right arm, but apparently her right leg is done for, and that's why she fell in the first place.

She's got no chance of going back to her home anymore now, if she's still living in the place I remember it's not suitable at all, and it's probably going to have to be a care home that she goes to because she can't physically lift herself out of bed never mind anything else.

Please don't get me wrong, she wasn't always a pleasant woman although she's apparently mellowed over the years, and she's into her 90s so she's a damn good age, but she doesn't deserve this at all. Mum and Dad had to go to the hospital outside of normal visiting hours recently which the staff weren't happy about but she was adamant she was going home and it even took them a while to talk her down.

I really don't need another loss this year.

I’m pleased the doctor called and is trying new medication for you. I hope it helps. I’m sorry you are no further forward in your referral. ☹️

I hope your gran is ok.
 
Why don't people read things properly (or more likely use it as an excuse not to pay)? As many of you know I sell a few bits on ebay to fund my my fund. I took a low offer on some Newborn Leggings tonight. In 3 places it says Newborn, (In the title, the description and the item specifics). As soon as the buyer had paid, I got a message saying "Sorry is this not 6-9 month?" (Er no they are Newborn as it states in 3 different places). I sent her a very polite message back saying that I had already packed them for despatch and that they were definitely Newborn. She then asked me to cancel as her son is 6-9 months. I have cancelled.

I do not believe her. The listing clearly states in 3 places that they are Newborn (as previously mentioned) and who on earth describes their baby's age as 6-9 months? She could have told the truth and said she was sorry but she'd changed her mind!

I'm slightly torn because I don't really know how to think about it. For a long time she could be very difficult to deal with, snide but not the snarky type just...snide. She knows I'm trans because my parents told her and I've sent her cards occasionally when Dad's given me a nudge (I've got a great memory but if it involves a calendar I've got no chance) and even my mum - and they hated each other for years - says these days she's no interest in continuing a dispute. Maybe a decade ago but she's mellowed considerably.

Then again if my great uncle hadn't died and his son insist that she call Dad to let him know she'd probably still not be speaking to us. It was always her decision to cut off contact. Which is also why we haven't spoken since I was 21. But I know how miserable it is to be stuck in hospital for any length of time and in the same hospital my Pappy (her husband) died in 25 years ago this year, so I asked Dad to let her know I said hi, and he said that of course he would, and that she's been asking about me occasionally too.

Nobody's told me that before. If I'd known that...argh, families.

How lovely she has been asking about you. Even the most difficult people can be nice sometimes. Age can mellow you.
 
My lifelong friend drove 2 hours to see me yesterday. Recovering very well from my op, I think, but not able to drive yet so she took the plunge despite being on cancer treatment herself so I was really grateful. House a tip - obvs - but she wouldn't care so I thought just get the sitting room tidy to have a cuppa in. Came downstairs to find that after 15 years solid service the washing line had snapped dropping 3 loads of washing across the garden. Fleeces tangled in bramble - pants hanger dropped into a puddle of scummy green water - plants in pots knocked everywhere. Timing is everything!

But we had a laugh and a lovely time when she arrived 💕
 
I’m Absolutely done with humans. I am SO stressed out at the moment, and everyone and everything is piling on my brain.
I pulled into work this morning, and a guy was peeing up the back of our shop, on the wall next to the gas bottles. I beeped my horn, got out my car and had a huge go at him. Telling him that there was THREE public toilets in this tiny country town! So put your little ***** away and go and use one! This is the second time in 3 days I’ve caught someone peeing out the back!
Turns out he was here to fit a new hot water system in our cafe (TYPICAL!). So let him in and I asked for an apology. “What do I need to apologise for, you’re the one who shouted abuse at me’ he said!
I lost my s***. Not only is it illegal to wee in a public place but also unprofessional since he was here to do a job. He just would not back down. I asked him if it would be alright for me, as a woman. To drop my pants and go for a wee on the path right now?
We were arguing and shouting for ages. I must add this is not like me at all to be confrontational. So then he was refusing to do the job he’d drove 3 hrs for (hence why he needed to wee sooo much apparently).. Melbourne is not 3 hours away. More like 1.5/2 hrs.
Anyway cut a long story short, he ended up doing the Job. Never apologised. And I spent the rest of the day at work wound up.
And then a customer later on said that he randomly shoots at animals at the side of the road, in the bush. (Presumably foxes and Roos). I’m just done with humans.
I hate people, hate working in hospitality. And I’m struggling to cope.
 
Not a nice start to my day one again this morning. Pulled a dead and mangled Kangaroo off the road, her head had been ran over quite a few times. Both back legs broken. The worst part, the lining of her pouch was hanging out, with her young joey twisted inside. I had to use my hands to tear the pouch open to get the joey out to make sure it wasn’t alive and suffering. Thankfully, He was dead, both little legs completely snapped. I dug a shallow grave using just my shoe and buried the baby as the crows were watching and waiting. I dragged the mothers body on top, and told them I was sorry. Why people don’t stop when they hit an animal is beyond me, Her baby probably didn’t die instantly. He could have been put out of his suffering much quicker if the driver had stopped and shown some compassion.
