Ah, @sister your post shows the hidden cost of BC It is so hard, when you are used to being competent and together, to get to the point that you not only recognize some help might be useful but take that next step and ask for it. AJ's Cosmic Clowns can do a real number on you by conspiring to make what should be relatively easy tasks so exhausting and demeaning that you wish you'd never bothered to try.
Hang in there G, I'm not going to feed you any bullshit about things suddenly getting better, but you only had to do today once. That's it, today is done; successful, unsuccessful, whatever, it's over. Yes, you still have to go and negotiate the referral, but now you've had a bit of a vent, that may not be as horrible as you expect. Always remember that without people like us--the sick and occasionally fucked up--the people who make decisions and provide services are out of a job. There is no need to supplicate yourself, go in there and lobby for what you want, you have some control over this. Marg xxx
