mild vent ] i genuinely hate this province's answer to so many people needing mental health services

it requires you to call at the beginning of the week for a therapy appointment, and you can't schedule anything while you're there or multiple weeks in a row

so like if you have memory problems because of your mental health fuck you basically

which . i do . and every week blends together and i never remember to call and when i do remember its likehursday and there are no appointments

and i can't schedule anything for the week after when i do remember because its weekly lol

jesus that is the worst system

YEAH

it SUCKS

yes let's make the people who have memory issues, executive dysfunction issues, anxiety, lack of motivation - yeah let's give them a weekly task

its so frustrating. its accessible but only to people who are like a little sad and aren't struggling in literally any other way

for real

so since its been 6 months i need a new self referral so that means i have to call and talk about my problems AGAIN and wait a few weeks again

yargh

like yeah thats on me for not setting an alarm and just relying on my memory but also. the mental health problem is not solved just because i am not having appointments. its still there

yeah .-.

you should be able to schedule the next appointment at the office...

it is bullshit that you can't

yeah!!!

i called the self referral line and left my info so fingers crossed they call me back o thursday and not like . when i have work

i talked to jordan about how much im struggling and he said that he understands it but also that i can just . try to change my habits. rather than coming home and immediately collapsing, i could try to do something else for a bit

which. fair. it frustrated me to hear because it felt more like therapy 'do yoga' bullshit but then i remember my therapist telling me to just use my bed to sleep in and not rot in it

so . fine. i'll try that

i also accepted a shift on thursday with that in mind. by that point it's just one more day until the weekend

they got back to me while i was on the way to work so i'll call them tomorrow morning
