Remember you can always open up your own thread if you would like some more direct support from the community if you feel comfortable doing so.
Please keep us updated on how you're doing, you are so strong and this will all pass soon enough
yeah @FordRanger i would
@libbystrawberry might do one tomorrow or something but not sure if anyone else would join.
I'm really sorry that this is happening @IainJammyboy - you don't deserve to be thrown between services and to be stuck without support. You're doing so well to keep reaching out.
Do you think it could be useful to speak to your GP about the lack of support and where you've been left? I wonder if they could advocate on your behalf or explore alternatives.
Mind also have a Legal line providing legal information and general advice on mental health related law. They are open Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm and can be contacted on 0300 466 6463. You can email them on legal@mind.org.uk. They can signpost you to access some advocacy services, treatment options, and where to get help and so it might be worth exploring with them your situation.
Keep going Iain, we're here for you.
Hey @IainJammyboy you're doing so well to keep reaching out through what sounds like such distressing experiences. It shows great courage to open up when things are feeling this way.
When you say that it feels like someone is controlling your mind, if you feel comfy telling us a bit more about what this feels like and where you feel out of control, we're here to listen. Are there times where you find you are able to take back control?
The important thing to know is that there is support out there for things like this - you're not alone and there are people who can help.
