Dear Jo
How can you provide me with the emotional support that I badly need if you do not consider the full background of my history of mental health diagnosis and treatments since 1998. This is what I was providing you with information on.
Yesterday morning I received a Blood test appointment text on the 21st of September. I did not cancel it Appointment reminder at 9.00 am with Mrs Bhumi Balani at Parkwood Health Centre Surgery A. If you cant attend text back CANCEL. Get our App. mygp.10/atgp. Then on taking my regular lot of mental health medications I saw that I did not have any sertraline 100 mg left and only 5 risperidone 2 mg left. Other medications were also short. I normally get a text message from Boots the Chemists on the 14/15 of each month to let me know that the medications are ready for collection, but no such text messages had come this month. With Monday being a Bank Holiday I rang Boots the Chemists Pharmacy Section to find out what the situation was, but no one answered the telephoine.at 14.01 pm So I drove to Boots and asked what was happening. The Sales lady said that they had been short of staff but then checked on her computer and said that there is a problem as no prescription had arrived from Long Catlis Road Surgery. She asked if I was out of medications, and she could lend me some while the prescription was being processed by the Surgery. Are they tweaking the medications she further enquired. I said that I am out of risperidone 2 mg and sertraline 100 mg and Finasteride is in short supply at home. She asked who my doctor was. I said Dr Shan or Dr Mwanche. I said my diagnosis is being changed so quite possibly the Slurgyer is reviewing the medications that it sends to Boots the Chemists. I do not therefore wish to take anything from you until this is clarified. She said that she could request the Surgery again. I said I will leave it to the Surgery
I told my wife about this and she went spare saying that I am playing games. She is obviously concerned. At this point I decided not to cancel the Blood test appointment of the 21st. but at 20.58 pm with no developments, I cancelled it until the Surgery had made a decision. I was fed up with constantly telephoning the Surgery with no results so the sent a text message to my wife, as follows: '01634 233491. This is the telephone number of Long Catlis Road Surgery. I am not going to telephone the Surgery because my enforced mental health medications prescription was not sent to Boots. I am not mentally ill. If you do not agree with me you telephone the Surgery. I do not wish to have any discussions. Everything has to be in writing. If you want the Surgery's email address, reply to this text message. I am a grown up man and free of the restrictions that I have been under for 25 years'
Yours sincerely

Hi Shantanu,
We're sorry but that's not clear at all.
We asked you how you are feeling. You seem to be giving us a history of your grievances with your former employer, the NHS and the justice system.
It might help to explain a little more about who Samaritans are and what we do. We are here to listen and provide emotional support for people in distress or despair and we do this without judging or telling you what to do (importantly, we don't shy away from talking about suicide, we offer a safe space to explore these feelings honestly).
Is this a service that you are looking for? If so, please tell us how, what is clearly, a very difficult situation is making you feel.
Jo
