or am i just wasting their time, it is coming up to xmas, they must be busy,,,but i'm just sitting here waiting for the day after boxing day, all the stuff i bought because well, you're supposed to, is either in the freezer or the clothes i bought still in the packet because they won't fit me and whats the point, the day after boxing day is when i'm starting my new capability for work questionnaire, then sometime in jan. I have appointments or something at dome hospital for more phys. tests/advice, i think thats all, can't even be bothered to eat today, but i will try and eat something later,,,I just feel like that person in the book house on the borderlands, sitting in a chair, watching the dust of aeons drift down
i might phone them monday, see what happens

If you are feeling so low then you must contact someone, even if its only your GP, Christmas can be a lonely time for many people but remember there is always someone here you can chat with.
Please try and eat if you can and you must take liquids. Take care2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -

Hello @JohnEmile Please can I thank you for reply.
Please if I can suggest do look at any links this needs to be looked at.
The reasons are Christmas next week, some charities are always have a week off.
It is important if you need any support, help and advice you need to do straight away.
One other reason is a waiting list, could be a period of time you get assessed if you delay leave the longer you may be waiting.
As with any service depends on areas could be a while.
In the mean time please remember we are here to listen, chat or talk if you need some one to listen please tag my user name.
Please take care.

Good morning @JohnEmile. I think if you're feeling this way, it's important to get in contact with them. They might be busy, but you're just as important as anyone else. Please give them a call today and make sure you're taking care of yourself.
