Bit of a drunk rant

Tried to call the local mental health crisis team. Got and automated message saying I wasn’t in a location that could call them (I’m pretty much in the city centre?) so I called the Auckland one and got out though. Talked to the person who eventually answered and said I’m not in Auckland but the local one wouldn’t answer. She said she try and put me through to my local one which worked… but it was AI. If I wanted to have a conversation with no meaning then I’d download ChatGPT and talk to it, but I don’t like AI and would rather talk to a person hence my calling. Talked to the AI for maybe a minute before it just said it had other calls waiting so have a safe night and hung up. I guess it worked it the sense of I’m just more frustrated than anything about how shit our mental health service is. I’m or sure what the point of this post is, I am quite drunk and a bit rambly, but really? Putting what is possibly the lives of some of the people in this country in the hands of AI seems a bit ridiculous.
And yes I could totally be wrong and it wasn’t AI and was in fact a real human who just didn’t care about dealing with some very sad very drunk guy calling them but that seems somehow worse and I don’t want to admit that is what it was.
Mental health is a serious issue and I think that people who are experiencing the bad parts of it deserve to have access to help. I was put through the have an appointment with the mental health triage team by my GP and we made an appointment for next Tuesday and this week I got a call saying that we have to postpone it for a month. I’m not even sure where I’m going with this anymore - no doubt in part due to the alcohol - but I feel like i need to let off some steam somewhere. I will probably wake up in in the morning and decide that this is not important and just delete this post, but who’s to say.
I think that’s it. I’m going to go to bed now a bit more annoyed at how hard it is for people to find some help.
Sorry for my drunk rambling
