Camhs are fucking shit, I’m fuming!!

I’m absolutely fucking fuming!

My mum had a doctors appointment today so whilst I was there with her I asked the receptionist if she could help me log into the NHS app as then I can make appointments, repeat prescriptions, see my health records; etc

So the lady got it working and I decided to have a look at my health records and turns out camhs diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder in 2022 but never actually bothered to fucking tell me that they’d diagnosed me!

I’m fuming that I’ve ONLY just found out, it’s explained all my age regression and stuff but still I’d of loved to fucking know sooner instead of me thinking I was just a broken peice of crap!

Gosh this must be so frustrating and difficult for you to deal with @Rose113 I'm so sorry that that happened to you Do you think it would be possible to go back and chat with anyone about the diagnosis if that would be helpful for you? Sending love

I cant believe they would not tell you about your BPD diagnosis and I wished they told you sooner as that could have been helpful information for you going forward. I have heard of CAMHS not being very good supporting people most of the time and they are often very unhelpful in these situations. Im sorry to hear that this has happened to you at the moment and I can imagine the amount of stress it has caused for you right now. I hope you are doing ok at the moment. We are always here for you right now .

Im sorry to hear that happened and gosh that isn't right for your mum to be saying that at all as that diagonis clearly means a lot to you as well because you never knew about this only until now so I can imagine that it has been affecting you a lot right now which is completely understandable. This might be something to mention when you go for that appointment in January as you can flag up the diagnosis and explain that you were not told anything when you should have been told because normally when either camhs or a similar thing happens they would inform you of your diagnosis first thing and would and should offer support and guidance along the way. It really shows how bad mental health services have become at the moment for people .

gosh @Rose113 - i can't imagine how you are feeling at the moment with all this. hopefully you are able to get some answers about everything at your appointment in january, as like Amy said, you have essentially not been given support since the diagnosis that you should have received, all because you were never told about it - which is unfair to you and you have every right to be frustrated by this.

sending hugs.
