Getting a doctors appointment

I am exhausted and have absolutely no energy. I'm falling to sleep while driving to work, and at work. I've always had a sleep issue, but it is getting a lot worse. I want to get a dotors appointment, but they are simply not available. It's not 'urgent' so I don't feel that I cann call first thing in the morning to get an emergency appointment. Being autistic I'm getting more and more anxious about not getting an appointment, and the practice is about to change their appointment system. They also have a notice on the site that they can no longer accept appointment requests because they are at their limit.

On top of that, the NHS app is no longer allowing me to log in (no text messages to confirm login).

The NHS is totally broken. I don't blame my local doctors (well, not individually) and I cannot blame the people working at the surgery, but I'm not sure how much longer I can go with such low energy. I'm getting close to breaking.

  • I think from your description it is urgent. Keep pushing for an appointment or go to the minor injuries centre. You could call 111 for advice. They have the power to force your GP to give you an appointment.

    God bless you, I understand the sleep problem getting worse. I actually dread going to bed at night, it feels like I procrastinate in every way not to have to go. A battle.
