Second assessment appointment postponed last minute

Tigerbalm

I was supposed to have my second appointment tomorrow morning but it's just been cancelled. :( Now I have to wait another month for the next appointment. I already had a to wait over a month between the first and second appointment and almost 2 years on the waiting list. I've been so anxious the past month and struggling to focus on work and everything else and now I have another month of that. I just needed this appointment to be over. :( Sorry just ranting, I know I just have to deal with it

  • Rant away, this is the place!

    Did you have to book the day off work? I'd keep that time off and concentrate on getting yourself in a happier head space. You haven't even had time to adjust to the cancellation, it's such short notice!

    I work from home so didn't have to take time off exactly. But I'm so easily distracted at the moment and I was hoping that would get better after the appointment. Once I know if I would get a diagnosis or not. I feel like the whole process, asking for referral and beginning the assessment has opened such a can of worms in me that I need to pause the rest of the world because I can't keep up with all this going on.

    I'm going back to an old employer to work from home again, I can't wait!

    It's really weird you've said that. That's exactly what I've said in the past. I feel like I need a button so that everyone and everything in the entire world just stops. Long enough for me to catch up. I feel the more time that goes by the amount of things I have to deal with goes up with it, it's ever increasing, like a graph growing exponentially..

    That's funny. I can relate to that so much. I used to think that my overall wellbeing was better now than when I was a teenager, because I was very depressed as a teenager which I'm not now, but as I get older I am constantly anxious and stressed. Demands just keep adding up while I'm still trying to deal with what's at the bottom of the pile.
