Feeling down
Ive been seeing a psychologist for a few months now. I missed my last appointment as my daughter was really sick and when I tried calling and emailing I got no response from the office at all so I decided once I dropped my daughter at day care, a week later, that I would go into the office instead, when I get there I found a note on the door saying all appointments are cancelled for the week due to a system error. So I have been calling still since then and still no answer and no response to my email. I don't know what to do about it. I had a good rapour with this psych and i really don't want to have to go find a new one and re tell them the whole story and start again and then I have money to worry about as I've used 6 free sessions for the year and then I'd have to explain it all again and start paying sooner with a new one.
Anyway, I'm feeling a little worthless tonight and I have no idea why I feel this way. Just needed to vent a little get it out there.

My last appointment that i missed was the 20th of July. I went in the week after that. So it's been about 3 weeks since I saw the notice saying cancelled appointments. This is my first experience seeing a psych so I'm not sure what's normal practice.
So have you tried phoning them again/emailing them recently @caseyleehs? Or taking a look physically to see if they're open now? I'm hoping they should have news. Perhaps they have a website you can check?
Yes I call them every couple of days and no answer. They don't have a website. On google it still comes up as the old name (office used to be a physio place).
Thanks. I'm heading that way tomorrow so will check in to see if there is any news. If I'm being honest, I can't remember everything I've mentioned to her. I kinda get into a blurt out stage and just talk about everything even if it's not particularly relevant to my situation. But I will try that if no one is there tomorrow and go back to my dr for another referral.
hi @caseyleehs just wondering how you got on? and how your going now?
Hey I'm doing alright. I went in on Wednesday and they were open again. The receptionist said they are doing renovations and that they are having system issues. My psych doesn't come back for another 2 weeks but she took my name and number and said she would get her to call me and organise a new appt when she comes back to work. So I hope she does call me to organise an appt.
Perhaps you could prepare beforehand in case they run into another system issue? Like a list of what you want to talk about so you never lose your progress?
