Woman With Winter Blues Informed There’s A Psychiatrist Appointment Available In Three Months Time

A woman struggling with a case of seasonal affective disorder – distastefully known as ‘SAD’ – has unfortunately been unable to receive much help this week, as she’s informed her psychiatrist isn’t available until late September.

The sun lover in question, Darley Frae, 31, tells our reporter that she’s been struggling to get out of bed during the frosty winter mornings, which has been made all the worse by the lack of insulation in her shit box terrace house.

Unfortunately, as she lives in a state with a psych shortage, likely due to the uptick in medical professionals fleeing to Queensland for better pay and cheaper rent, Darley finds herself left with few options to get her through her winter blues – and yes, the irony is not lost on her that the appointment available isn’t available until the weather gets better.

“I probably should have planned in advance this year”, admits Darley, letting out a small huff, “three months is the standard waiting time, which you know, isn’t really that helpful when you’re having a crisis.”

“I suppose I would have been told to exercise more. Or to try mindfulness.”

“Too bad they can’t say sunshine this time HA!”

More to come.
