Blah...

I'm back.
I've been busy having a quarter life crisis, and rather than post about it (which in retrospect would probably have been quite cathartic), I've hidden away eating hula hoops and watching crap telly.
It might be something to do with the fact I've just finished my degree and have got post student blues, it could be that I've hit the 7 year itch with E, it could be that I've put weight on and am not doing anything about it, or it could be that for the past 10 years I've been taking medication for Bipolar, which I recently stopped.
Having bipolar is something I haven't wanted to post about. It doesn't define me as a person, and I don't want to be one of those bloggers who thinks anyone would be interested in my strange ups and downs. It is worth mentioning, however as a way of explaining my sporadic absences from society.
Coming off medication was a big deal for me, and for a while I've coped brilliantly, but I think now's the time to acknowledge that my bipolar is something which can't be cured, and if I want to have any semblance of a normal life - I have to medicate.
I'll be doing another post after this one, so hopefully it'll get lost - it's just something I wanted to say!

The Non-Existent Doctor's Appointment

I've just had a very odd phone conversation...

Doctors Receptionist: Hello Dr Stewarts clinic...

Me: Hello, I recieved a letter yesterday to tell me I've got an appointment for this afternoon at 4:30, I'd like to cancel it please.

Doctor's Receptionist: Why?

Me: Well, it was such short notice and I can't make it.

Doctor's Receptionist: What name is it?

Me: (give my name)

Doctor's Receptionist: Oh yes, it's already been cancelled.

Me: When?!

Doctors Receptionist: This morning.

Me: Well it's a good job I've just phoned isn't it?

Doctors Receptionist: Why?

Me: Well, because I would have turned up to a cancelled appointment.

Doctors Receptionist: We did send you a letter.

Me: When?

Doctors Receptionist: This morning

Me: What, by owl?

Doctors Receptionist: Excuse me?

Me: The appointment was this afternoon and you sent me the cancellation letter this morning. It wasn't ever going to reach me in time, unless you have magic stamps. Do you have magic stamps?

Doctors Receptionist: Doctor only realised his clinic was full this morning, he's tried to get intouch with you.

Me: How, by telepathy?

Doctor's Receptionist: You were ringing to cancel anyway.

Me: Thats not the point!

Doctors Receptionist: It's been changed to Monday now, so we'll see you then. Bye.

Me: Aaaargh...! Bye then.
