Snowflake, your experience sounds bit like mine
There’s nothing out there for when your desperate even going to a&e in a desperate state doesn’t get you anywhere. Psychotic or suicidal. How long do you have to stand this illness before we get that bad to get help.
A year wtf
I don't get why the CMHT sent me for a hospital assessment then just 'dropped' me. I clearly needed help, but cause I wasn't bad enough to need hospitalising or home care they just seemed to let me go.

I hope we can both find the help we need. If I could afford it, I would go private.
