Depression

[jennyjoan]

After suffering from the blow to my head I am now suffering from deep depression with headaches and worry. Also the lump whilst not as big is still there. Am suffering from extreme anxiety and definitely loss of more deafness.

I had to make a call two weeks ago to the audiology department re "everything" but I couldn't hear the options. Another friend is calling tomorrow to try and make an appointment tomorrow. The other neighbour/friend who done all has finally left and so I can't call on her. In fact she rang me last night to says she has had a fall in her daughter's house where she is currently residing.

Jesus I honestly don't know where I am at all.

as a follow up - googled the hospital last night to see if I could get a direct line and a man's voice came up. Called and got him this morning who said there was a back up and I won't been seen until April - even though my appnt was January - so just will have to wait (if it comes through) - I told him about the falling and he says he has but "urgent" on it. So I will wait and see.

It isn't urgent because you are not following protocols
You need to go to your GP and explain about the depression, the fall and how it is affecting your hearing and the chances are that you will be seen before April
Of course this could have been sorted if you had done this months ago.

I've been through tough times, too, and I can understand how you're feeling. Depression, anxiety, and health issues can really get you down. It's important to contact professionals(like mental health hotline from this page https://mentalhealthhotline.org/ ) and friends who can help. I've found that talking to someone about what's going on can make a big difference. Hang in there, and remember, you're not alone in this.
