Been trying to get in touch with the GP for months about changing my prescription and some other health concerns. First it was the 8am phone rush, and now it's the 7:30-10am engage consult online forms that are all full by 7:40am on Tuesday (why do online forms have opening times???).

Their automated phone system removed the option to even let you speak to a receptionist. I havent seen any GP since COVID and the last time I got in touch with a GP 8 months ago there was a 10min time limit.

Basically what I'm asking is: is there a GP in Paisley that ISN'T like that?

I sent off my cat today at home, a little old lady I've known for half my life. Up until a few days ago we thought she'd had more time when she suddenly deteriorated. I thought I'd prepared myself for this before but I've cried more in the last few days than i have the last 5 years.

Everyone has been telling me I've done all I can and was a good cat parent, but that's only made me cry more. I've been so guilty and afraid that I didn't do enough for her, that I couldn't and didn't do enough for her, that the possibility that I did in fact do enough and I was worthy of her life and love is overwhelming.

Why is it only now that it's sinking in how much I love her, why didn't that happen when she was still here? Will it hurt this much when I'll start noticing her absence?
