Look for the helpers

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping" Fred Rodgers

The world saddens me sometimes

i'm frustrated. We are no further with the legs situation. My GP agrees it's probs quetiapine related but the bloods she ordered didn't come back so she's ordered them again. She suggested reducing the quetiapine but it definitely helps and I can't go back to where I was in December. She said I didn't give myself enough credit and that I've done a lot to help myself. But I explained how my head is the clearest it's been in about 10 years so we agreed that reducing it was a bad plan.

The psychiatrist never booked a follow up appt so that's useless and I haven't seen my CPN in 8.5 weeks. My GP thinks she might be on long-term sick but services haven't communicated that to me, they just said that she would ring me on Monday (2-3 weeks ago...).

On top of that I've got a real problem with some behaviours around appointments which is becoming significantly problematic/dangerous and I did try to mention it a few times but my GP didn't pick up on it.

I'm just frustrated because I'm trying so hard but services (not my GP) have completely and utterly let me down time after time. I don't want to have to rely on them but this legs thing needs sorting because it's really affecting my life/mobility/sleep. I'm just tired of it all. I just want to be okay.
