I'm sure he said it was a plastic surgeon. He reckoned the surgeon said his skin was so youthful and wrinkle free he wouldn't have to take skin from his "derrière". 🤣🤣🤮🤮
Oh, I missed the bit where we found out he was a plastic surgeon - I think I must have been rolling on the floor laughing at the time. Unless I was there when the surgeon said it, I'd have my doubts, old cynic that I am. ;)
 
Mental health services remain light years behind others. It is no better now than 2010 when I was a mental health advocate and worse than 1997 when I needed them as a user. An indictment on consecutive governments of all the main political persuasions.
Thanks Duke, this girl resembled Charley, she didn’t even refer me to anywhere
 
Bit of advice If you feel low, don’t bother going to see a Mental Health Nurse.

Went to my appointment. Got seen by some young thing, who said as you find it hard opening up, I’m not sure what we can do, Didn’t even give me any Meds if anything I feel worse than before
That's awful, I hope things improve for you soon x

If he said it was raining I'd go to the window to check🙄🤔
 
I despair for people in mental health needs, having to rely on the broken, understaffed mess that calls itself Mental Health Services.
I was listening to an old Desert Island Discs yesterday from 2008 with Jo Brand, she used to be a psychiatric nurse.

She said a lot of mental health issues originated from isolation and loneliness, and this led to other things. She believed if you could deal with that early it would prevent a large number of cases from entering the system. Interesting thought.

I haven't been in my office since before Christmas and I was really excited to see colleagues today. We can work from home 3 days a week if we wish. I share my flat with my sibling who has a lot of issues and often goes for days without speaking, I sometimes say I live alone because it's easier than explaining. I enjoy the flexibility of working from home but sometimes I crave company that I don't get at home. I don't invite people round if my sibling is there. I understand where Jo Brand is coming from because I can feel incredibly lonely, which is why I was on here a lot Christmas Day. Luckily I have people around me, just not people I see on a daily basis. I can see that isolation could lead to someone being in a dark place.
 
Whet confused me today was I went on YouTube last night to see what a Mental Health Nurse could do, it said prescribe drugs etc.

I don’t know if it’s because the one I saw today, was at the doctors practice and not the Hospital but she seemed more interested playing with her hair
 
At least Pedro only mentions his Bladder, anybody remember Howard Griffiths, who wouldn’t shut up,about the Bowels
We used to have a local German bakery, absolutely wonderful bread and cakes. I used to buy their rye bread and the lady owner used to tell me that it was a good choice as it was good for the bowels🤣

I’m sorry it went badly. Can you asked to be referred to a counsellor?

You do sound as if you have a very active social life, which must help, and enjoy holidays.
