What will she think of me?

Posted , 3 users are following.

OMG, what a day! i have never felt so sad as i have today, i have tried and cried.... i was meant to have a counselling session with my PTSD counsellor., but my phone didn't ring and i missed her call. it's left me broken all day and exhausted as a result. she's the only person who understands me and helps. i feel drained by all of this, if my phone didn't work would she think i was being rude.i've only been going a few months!

    HI Sam.

    Sorry to hear you had to go through this. I would say try not to worry as there may be a reasonable explanation on there behalf. Try ringing that person. Or email. Which ever form of contact you have for them. I have PTSD aswell. Your not alone. Try to stay positive. I'm here for you. I know what it feels like when someone from this field of work don't ring. With this pandemic going on they probably just forgot or had phone problems themselves. Try not to worry. Contact them first thing today and see what they say. Good luck.

      hi Melissa, i had the sense to contact, well go and speak to someone from there yesterday. it's just so hard and there were lots of other things going on. i almost walked away though because the lady who was there told me i couldn't see anyone and she wouldn't let me in. when i explained what had happened she said she would let the clinical lead know and someone would ring me, but they didn't so i am none the wiser as to what to do. this is hard enough without technical issues. i felt cursed yesterday.

      sam, I've been in a similar situation before. I had to put a letter in writing to the manager before I got listened to.

      hi Melissa, i have had a reply back because i went to the building where i'd normally go and luckily someone was there and they have sorted it. my counsellor now has my husband's number so if they can't get through to me they'll try my husband's phone. my ibs is off completely because of it, i have become very down and depressed so have rang my doctor's, enough is enough! i will get this right, i'll be ok, i have no choice.....
