We had a pitcher of cocktail each, but my sister also had a vodka and I didn't finish my pitcher. I'm a lightweight.

I still can't believe that my sister out drank me.

I did have family company, but now I'm sat in a pub on my own I think it might be more depressing than being at home. 😂

I invited my family in the end, for cocktails not clubbing.

I'm thinking about going out for cocktails on Monday, since it might be a while before I can again. Was even thinking about going clubbing, but the only club I know isn't open on Mondays. Maybe not the best idea anyway given that they don't open til 10pm and I need to be up early.

NHS mental health trusts across the country will be watching, as will NHS England, because failures to care for and protect patients are nationwide. Our mental health system is broken and vision based monitoring technology cannot patch the faults. #StopOxevision

I've had years to do this but only want to do it now because I might not be able to soon.

If I'm gonna be a sad person drinking cocktails on my own, it needs to be somewhere with music.

I didn't even notice the mistake in that post. I used to pick up on stuff like that so easily, now I miss so much.

Specsavers emailed me with a glasses fitting appointment, so they did get my note and it worked out ok. It's basically the same appointment, just 5 minutes different, so that's good.

I've book a contact lens consultation and added a note. I don't know if that will work. It's so fucking frustrating. I walked past Specsavers yesterday too, I thought about asking about my glasses but thought it was too soon.

So you just didn't show distress the way they expected? It's ridiculous. It's so wrong.

You're not missing any are you?

You can't book online for a fitting appointment so I can't book an appointment anyway. They don't listen.

Just got a text from Specsavers asking me to call them to arrange a fitting appointment for my new glasses. I told them I can't speak on the phone. I don't know if that means my glasses are ready, or because they made and cancelled an appointment because I don't know when/if I can go after court.

I think we've forgotten all the public service workers who went to work knowing they were forced to shoulder the risk of getting/giving someone covid because no one else would go if they did not. Our government failed us.

I got to the hospital for my blood test ok, though not without some stress. The were running 40 minutes late, which I wouldn't have minded if they'd said. I went into town afterwards to pick up a library book, went in one shop and came home, and I'm still knackered and still hurt hours later.

It was the unneutered Tom, meowing at the door for food. That's new. He normally just sits or loafs out there.

It's taken me a day to realise that my social worker actually sent me a copy of my care assessment in a format that I could alter so I can read it. I'd been telling them for months that I couldn't read it in the format it was in. And they just drop it into an email in a different format.

And now they have the great excuse that I'm abusive, because I can't not swear at them. Distressed people show distress, but oh no, you can't do that. Completely ignoring that it's after years of being failed, but they won't even recognise that they've failed me. There are no answers now.

SJ 🏳️‍🌈 🐾 🦕 📝 🤯 @angelusmalus.bsky.social · 24d

I thought getting to the hospital tomorrow for a blood test would be simple, but there's a road closure affecting the bus route so I'm not confident at all about the journey.

Not just lying about me but ignoring me, ignoring my needs, dismissing my needs as preferences, not providing care because I can't jump through their hoops. And they won't change my social worker again, probably because I've already gone through five maybe, this time. It's always me at fault.
