When everything goes wrong..

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I've posted quite a few times about the same things. Nothing gets better. I've been at home now a few weeks refusing to go out not because I don't want to but because everything's gone the opposite to what I wanted to happen.


:banghead:

Happily seeing a psychiatrist, he retires, I get discharged. Medication doesn't work makes me feel like I'm faking being happy. No one to talk to about anything. So decide to post on here as people on here are the only ones at the moment that might actually care.:no:

I've tried calling Samaritans but I don't get far afterwards. I've been to my GP she's coming up with absolute nonsense about it being my fault I was discharged at hospital. Then I make a complaint after speaking to mind and I do have grounds to complain. Haven't had anyone appointed to my case just yet but I know the response is going to be sorry we are cutting services blah blah'. Fed up of feeling alone I was worried about this for a very long time and knew one day this will happen.:crying:

My mum often blames me for being an awful person. That I'm exaggerating and don't have any problems. I don't share this with anyone because I know ill come across as needy. Things could get better if I had someone to talk to. I had been able to build confidence and self esteem. My siblings are rude as. They think they're older than me. :/

Sometimes I sit there and just cry and shut the door. I'm not sure who to ask for any help. I'm 22 so services are only limited to one main one called CRT- Community recovery team. That's it. Not even voluntary services help. They signpost, I am grateful for that but at the moment sitting at home in my room in bed feels the safest option. Not when I want to do things in life like study etc.
:sour:

    Hi Sonia1

    Things do sound tough for you at the minute and the response you received from your doctor, sounds unhelpful at best.

    You say your medication doesn't work. Have you spoken to your GP about this situation?

    Also, regarding a re:refferal back to the psychiatry service, your GP should be offering advice and input around this.

    If your relationship with your current GP has gotten to the point where it isn?t working for you, perhaps looking into changing practices might be an option. I've linked to a useful NHS page that offers advice and reassurance around doing this.

    http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1088.aspx?CategoryID=68&SubCategoryID=158

    Just to reiterate what ClaireStephanie said above, the fact that you are reaching out for support is a positive step and there will always be someone here at theSITE to offer some advice and further guidance should you need it.

    Hope things improve for you and keep in touch.

    Phil :thumb:

    Your situation sounds similar to mine. I'm seventeen and was discharged from hospital yesterday and am struggling with the little support I am receiving. But I've decided to restart my life. I've enrolled in art classes and will be starting back at college soon. I've arranged to meet with my friends, started eating healthier and have stopped any destructive behaviours. I'd be happy to support you if you decide to do the same, just message me and maybe we can work through this together?

    Hi wolfbait
    Thank you for your message. I hope your ok. It's great that your doing the art classes. I struggle socialising but I try my best with Asperger's syndrome and started going to the gym to get more healthy and take my mind of things. I am trying to do all I can to get on with things even if they aren't going so well. Thank you. Ill message you shortly.

    Thank you Phil01. I am thinking of changing my GP to see how it goes maybe they can offer me different advice and support. I am still taking the medication but I am reluctant to stop it as ill be back to my old self again. I do need some help somewhere especially in psychiatry and have persued a complaint against the NHS just to clarify why they can't provide me with a service. I hope this works out. Thanks for your message. I always know posting on here someone will be able to help. I will let you know how I get on. Can you get to dependant on mental health services? I sometimes wonder whether that's what they think of me. Hmmm.
