So went Gp about 6 weeks ago she gave me Diazepam 2mg and I asked could I go back into secondary mh again.
Fast forward , they read what she put down at the meeting and psychiatrist decided(without seeing me) I didn’t need psych help and referred me to first point entry.
3 weeks later, after constant calling, I got call from Healthy Mind(first point entry) she went though form asking me questions of how I felt in the last 2 weeks. At the end of this I got told I could have counselling or cbt and to decide.
Waiting list 10/12 mths
Carrying on best I could, I was having better days for a few days then would crash
Again when crashing looking for help nhs, no movement.
Gp arranged at surgery to see mh worker from secondary mh team. Just started, wonderful I thought.
Next week couldn’t come quick even( that’s what we do, wish are life away)
So I got there6.30 pm, new surgery would be empty so great.
He called me in and said what can I do for you
I began telling him story asked if he could help me any sooner. NO
He then said, from what I’m reading on screen what Gp has written I’m not looking at the same person!!! Ffs
Says
Acrophobic
High anxiety
Panic
Well you got here!!
Your holding a conversation
You look well enough
Ffs, what it doesn’t mean I’ve not things going through my head constantly and feel like shit
I can up your meds like psych says
I don’t want that, I had a really bad experience going on them and really wish I’d never gone on venlafaxine
I felt he just totally shot me down and thought I was Making it up
Come back see me 2 weeks, I cried all the way home totally let down
Fast forward 2 weeks
Sat/Sun not to bad, come mon I could feel myself going down hill again but pushed on and took Diazepam. Went completely off food again
Tues morning heaving as soon as I woke, really pushed weetabix down me nearly brought it back
By 2pm I’d had enough, crying constantly.
So went to a&e, asked to see someone from RAID team (mh) told to sit down. I couldn’t sit with others so stood at door listening for my name. Saw triage nurse, who passed me onto doctor( another wait near door) finally doctor spoke to me, lots of questions etc, my story also so she rang RAID team, they wouldn’t come see me because I wasn’t Suicidal! (Well not yet)
I was by this time crying my eyes out, banging headache, empty stomach. She said she’d speak to team leader and come back
She ended referring me to psychiatrist outpatient clinic, faxed letter over and would get call tomorrow (today)
Lunch time nothing, so I ended up chasing around, turns out it’s gone to secondary mh my last psychiatrist. Spoke secretary they’ve got fax and she psychiatrist will look at it!!
The saga carry’s on,
I’m in Manchester, what part you peeps from
