Thanks J
I don't have a consultant or MHT, I've been under the crisis team twice this year and seen 2 psychiatrists as an outpatient, but the policy here is to discharge you back to your GP with guidance on medication. There is no community support for people like me. I am waiting for psychotherapy, I tried CBT but it wasn't helpful as I was too ill to participate fully. The last psych did think that talking therapy would be the most helpful for me as I am so 'reactive' to medication but he couldn't give me a time scale of when that would start. He did write to my GP with a list of medication to try, I know there are others but I've become drug phobic, I've lost faith in them.
My mums just phoned and offered to come round but somedays I'm better by myself and I think today is one of them. The kids will be home at 3.30 and I will try to get up in a bit and walk the dog - she's pulled all the stuffing out of one of her toys so the hoover may need to come out too
I know you've been poorly for sometime too J and have tried different meds, it's not easy is it? Do you mind me asking what drugs are you taking now?
I have emailed my GP to ask for his advice, poor bloke doesn't quite know what to do with me, but for now I'll take a little Diazepam to help me through the day.
Thank you for your kind advice, I'm good at giving advise but never listen to my own
Sam
