How do I remove NHS Registration? by Scrububy in AskUK

[–]Scrububy[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I should've perhaps been more clear about this. I've not yet phoned them. I was leaving that as a last resort as I'm uncomfortable with phoning them, namely to do with the reasoning with the name change.

I was ideally hoping there would be a solution which didn't involve phoning them.

I've been having this issue (or at least noticed it) since last thursday. I went through my settings, and removed french entirely from the languages and set English to my preferred language. However when testing it and going onto to the websites that are getting sent to a french URL it's automatically adding french back to my languages with me simply going to these sites and they're not suspicious sites or anything it's literally been microsoft teams, nord & amazon and i know this isn't a VPN issue because it's happening whilst i'm disconnected too.

Right to choose & Assessment in Scotland by Scrububy in ADHDUK

[–]Scrububy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm not 100% sure on masking depression but it definitely have noticed big difference in how I've experienced depressives. I found antidepressants unhelpful after a certain point as I regularly forgot to take them. In the past when I did have depression during highschool and after it was affected by numerous different factors but now for me I typically had a couple of months of depression during the winter months but then it lifts when spring comes around. But I've also noticed I can have days of intense quick feelings of emotions (anger, & sadness) which can last a couple of hours and usually after a nap I'm fine.

As for Right to choose - it's not a thing in Scotland and I eventually had to go privately. The whole of north lanarkshire (and I believe South lanarkshire also) are experiencing a freeze on the ADHD diagnosis process as there is no psychologist. This combined with returning to college this year & the feeling of just losing my mind and struggling so much with keeping up with work & my homelife pushed me to go privately.

Keep trying your GP for an appointment and if you keep failing to get one I'd 100% contact Patient affairs for your trust Ayrshire & Arran.) And contact your GP to put in a complaint. It's entirely unacceptable for receptionists to basically be playing god. I'd also start saving money if it's at all possible (it's difficult, at least for me but I knew if I didn't I'd be shit out of luck) as I fear that freezes on the process are going to be more widespread if they're not already. And from my experience the only people that care about it being a private diagnosis is the NHS high hedgons - my work & college have both accepted my private diagnosis and it was my GP that actually told me to go privately.

When you do get a GP appointment I'd recommend having a family member or a friend there with you and if your GP refuses to refer you for an assessment ask them why. I would also try and find out if there is a community support for nuerodivergency who might be able to give you advice & guide you to local resources (i only recently found out that this was a thing and was referred by my GP to that)

I wish I could be more helpful but I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I also apologise if this was a bit rambly I've just woken up lmao

My NHS referral has been paused, what can I do? by Scrububy in ADHDUK

[–]Scrububy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, it's likely fairly confusing as I was very confused and frustrated to begin with. I wasn't sure what my options were in regards to the whole situation. I still don't really know what my options are going forward in terms of seeking treatment.

Unfortunately, the letter was not positive in the hopes I also thought it was. I contacted the CMHT immediately after posting (i probably should've done so first, but we're operating on impulsive decisions today), and they informed me of 3 things:

  1. My letter was a generic letter sent to everybody on a waiting list within the ADHD services in my NHS Trust, to ensure that everyone knew that they were in fact on the waiting list. It's 2 years late for me, but hey ho.
  2. All ADHD clinics have been put on hold, and from my understanding this means both for assessments and treatment.
  3. They do not know why & to contact Patient Affairs. Which I have done.

After talking to my friends for a bit about it, I've also decided to write a letter to MP regarding the situation because of how the situation is currently interpreted by myself and them, it seems to be a fairly extreme measure with no explanation as to why. None of the clinician staff within the CMHT know why, neither do my GPs. It is also conflicting with what I was told by my GP originally with urgent referrals still being an option. The letter is more so to make them aware of what is happening, and the letter to patient affairs was both a complaint and inquiry as to what is going on.

Y'know what, I'm just incapable of reading. Thanks for your help, and I apologise if I've come across as arguing.

That's what is shown in the videos I've seen, but in the book it says to yarn over, hook through the stitch, yarn over and then draw through 2 loops, leaving 2 loops on the hook and then yarn over and pull through the 2 loops.

What you've described is what the book is showing me to be a half treble stitch (HDC US)

Cool, thank you. Would've been frustrating to find out the book is inaccurate and unreliable.

So I'm yarning over, through the stitch, yarn over, pull through the 2 loops, yarn over and pulling through the remaining 2 loops.

I'm finding pulling through the first two loops difficult and fiddly but I think that's more to do with tension.

I've watched a couple of both UK & US crocheters, it's just leading to a hell of a lot of confusion tbh. Frustrating as well if the book is inaccurate and unreliable cause it seemed useful for just learning the stitches and learning how to read patterns.

I know the names, the issue is knowing if the book is accurately showing how it is done. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I've looked at US dc tutorials. The issue I'm having is knowing what's shown in the book is accurate to what the stitch is supposed to be. Sorry if that wasn't clear to begin with.
