So i went in.
I hated it.
Nurse J doesn't ask that many questions, why did Nurse T have to 😩

Definatly going to have some things sent back to the mental health team again. Or I'm going to have them phoning me

Got told if was dehydrated too
Also wasn't allowed to see my weight 😕
She asked so many questions about my SH and SI - like that doesn't matter your there to monitor my physical health

That sounds hard! I hear it! Yiu were brave going and letting them do the checks, I don't let any new person weigh me and if I have sh marks then I'm not rolling my sleeves up so the fact you let them is good.
What kind of questions was she asking?
Try and drink some water @Lottie5433.

I'd speak to nurse J when you see her. Even email her and say you went but found it difficult.
Mh team phoning you isnt neccersarily a bad thing.

Well I've driven here, just sat in my car deciding if I go in.
My anxiety is saying not to go and stay in my car

You can do thus..

Thank you both @Invisible_me and @Redemption means alot.
I just feel like i can't talk about anything in regards to my anxiety its like no one actually understands it so easier to struggle on my own .
Gym is the only thing that's stopping me getting overwhelmed by all the anxiety but trying to stop myself from crying whilst here 🙃

Absolutely no worries we are here..
Let us know what you decide. We are here.
And it's good you have an outlet of gym to help manage emotions.

Usually I won't let anyone see my SH but because i had my blood pressure taken and weight she saw them as I had to remove my jumper (i had a t-shirt on underneath), i did kinda make out like i didn't want to because having it off made me feel insecure but she just said she'd be as quick as possible.

She just asked lots of questions

• do I feel dizzy, have i fainted as a result
• how are my bowel movements - how often
• do i use laxatives, how often, do they make me feel sick
• do I get palpitations, what do they feel like (fluttering/skipping a beat or like its coming out my chest)
• do i get chest pains
• do I get pins and needles/numbness in my muscles
• do my muscles feel week
• am I fatigued (waking up feeling tired etc)
• do i get suicidal thoughts
• do i feel suicidal today
• do i harm myself
• have i harmed myself - do I need to look at any for you
• do I have a safety plan, is it something I feel i can use

I think that was everything
Like nurse J only really asks about my SH and SI if ive done it recently and then she just asks if I use laxatives and how often/many.
But Nurse T asking these just felt really invasive. I gwt she was likely doing it because i emailed J about my symptoms

I dont want to email nurse J anymore. I just want to not be in touch with them anynore - even if my potassium low i don't care anymore.

Also dont want or need the mental health team phoning me or contacting me - seeing them next tuesday anyway (likely be asked about all this then if I don't hear from them)
