Sounds totally lame but too scared to get my depot

I am too scared to travel to the next 2 towns to get my depot.

The depot really helps but I find it too hard to bus it there. My folks are too old to drive and my sister works full time office hours.

The staff at the depot clinic sounded pretty pissed off when I phoned to say I couldn’t make the clinic.

Think I could ask to get the oral version of the med so I don’t have to travel 2 towns away for my depot.

Is two days past my repeat depot day and I am feeling it wear off

Can they come and do it at your home ? It probably isn’t the best idea cos I think it’s good for you to face anxiety and get out. But if things are really bad maybe this time they can go to your house.

Our car is still in the garage and will be for another week. So my CMHT nurse is coming here to do mine on Wednesday.

When I went away I used quite a bit to keep sane

Arrange for them to come to your place every month in future.

Where I live, no one makes home calls. But yeah, if it’s available, it’s the best option

I would get an oral medication until you can travel.
