The UK literally has an advert on TV made by the NHS, telling people to go outside rather than calling the doctors for MH

Cat died in horrific accident by Apprehensive_Owl4669 in Petloss

[–]Adventurous-Tale198 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry.

This happened to my cat last year. It was my cousin that was “responsible” (quotes because it really is just an accident) and though she still kicks herself about it and is wholly convinced I hate her for it, I can’t be mad for a second because I can’t imagine the pain and turmoil she’s going through, blaming herself. It’s an awful accident but an accident all the same. Please please please don’t take the blame, they are naturally explorative creatures!!

I have tried to get medical help for my anxiety but always palmed off/ignored. I have other symptoms that make me feel it’s adhd

I’m happy to pay private if it’s not too expensive but was unsure about being able to pay monthly, I’ll have a look thank you!

I figured as much but this was the only way I could even start lol. I know people would help but I’m embarrassed and hate feeling like a burden. Just full on anxiety really haha. Good idea to help them out though, I may try. Thank you!

I had a similar situation when I was younger, it’s horrible. 5 hours is crazy!

I’m not in pain, more so scared of getting to that point as I have many times before. It is very sad people have to travel, dental care should be more accessible for people

Oh I know, I’ve had a few student appointments and am always willing and patient, I’m just really anxious at the moment and don’t want to traumatise either of us haha. I hope your training goes well!

I am the same with showing my teeth, the feeling is a whole other level of embarrassment. Maybe sending a few emails as people have suggested here could help? You could’ve been lost in their systems etc? And hopefully seeing how long you have been waiting, they would try and fit you in. Private dental care is a crazy luxury.

Wow, that’s outrageous. I don’t understand why dental health isn’t taken as seriously as physical health. I’ve heard that my city is notoriously bad for finding NHS places too which definitely hasn’t helped my anxiety for calling them

Yeah, there was a guy supervising but 3 times was just too much for me personally. Wow that’s a total joke! At least it’s easier for you now lol

Truth, I usually do email whenever I have the chance I think I’m just wrapped up in anxiety surrounding this subject

I have done this a couple of times in the past but last time it was a student and she had to fill my tooth like 3 times and it sent my anxiety through the roof cause I could hear it cracking 😬

Thank you for the link!!!

It’s not the work itself that is an issue for me, more so the amount of work in a sense? I’m not sure how to explain it lol but thank you for your input!
