Edit: Okay so I just spent 45 minutes on the phone and finally got it reschedulled for NEXT friday afternoon…

Yay, now I have to deal with 10 more days of suffering until maybe I get some antidepressants 🫠

Also, that whole time, I was so anxious about accidentally tapping the big red END CALL button… I hate how phones are designed, why can’t be be a “slide to end call” thing? I hate this that you could accidentally touch the end call and fuck it up.

    When I finally decided to seek a diagnosis I would frequently be waiting so long to be seen that the feeling passed and I’d cancel the appointment because I ‘no longer needed it’ – and then I was worried that when I do go I’d be on a high again and not show any symptoms of my lows, so not be diagnosed. This wasn’t the reality thankfully.

    Given the subject I’m sure they’ll be forgiving and let you reschedule!

    • I just called them and the automated system said wait time is 30 minutes… 🫠

      Yea idk I kinda don’t feel like waiting for 30 minutes on the phone… idk maybe I’ll call back later… or tomorrow… or maybe next week… or maybe never…

      I hate my life.

      I wish my parents would just call for me but mom is so sick of my depression she’s like “you’re an adult now, go call them yourself you lazy/cowardly shit”

        Do they have a site where you can log in and message your healthcare provider(s)? Might be able to get through to them that way without suffering through half an hour of hold music.
