Ongoing saga of getting NHS to act
I phoned my Care Co-ordinator on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning to ask what was happening and why the original plan was changed. He was "unavailable" each time, but the receptionist said she'd pass the message on. Nothing happened each day. He didn't know why I was calling, and is my only contact for crisis or otherwise.
This afternoon I phoned, and when he was out of the office, asked to speak to the duty worker. I explained I'd been calling and what I wanted to know. She predictably knew nothing, but said she would email him to ask him to call me. I then STUPIDLY said what was in my head "I'm really bad at understanding unspoken messages, so if by not calling back he means Go Away, then he needs to say so"
How ridiculous. how demanding and needy, and such a perfect way to annoy him and devalue myself. Why can't I keep things to myself? I want to hide under the bed and never answer the phone again. I'm supposed to be an adult and I throw a stupid tantrum.
