Tell then of your worry about having to wait for an appointment when you are particularly bad, some of them have an open access policy for this.  It may only work with one or two doctors in the practice so you have to go when they are there. But how it worked where I used to work, if anyone with these problems needed to see the doctor that day they would be put on the end of that doctors list and they would come as surgery was finishing so they could spend the time they needed to with that doctor and not just have a 10 minute appointment.

amadeus1357 Â Â 10 #28 Posted October 7, 2015 Thanks to everyone for sharing what you do when you feel in a low mood. I think of flowers and my Conemporary Floral Design business and my page on Facebook. It is so absorbing that it takes my mind off what is getting me down. It works for everyone. You just have to find something that you are really interested in. It's different for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
