Just here to vent
Hi, just head to vent so I don’t go insane. I get vistibular migraines where I mainly get really dizzy and can’t walk or even sit up for days at a time usually about 3-5 days every 8 weeks or so.

Cmht discharge being taken up by local mp
Just got the email, he is taking it up with my team. Have replied asking if the issue can be investigated nationwide as sure I'm not the only one and think this kind of treatment from people who are meant to be supporting and helping us is disgusting.

Anxious about outcome of my PIP phone call
Hello, I have been so anxious about my phone assessment as the more I think about it, it went really bad. I have been trying to keep busy and not think about it but kept waking up last night going over what I said. Nearer the end I just kept saying a simple yes or no to think (even though the lovely @chiarieds mentioned to…

I'm concerned about my therapist
Can I chat with the community about something concerning me and maybe you can reframe this for me in a positive light or give me some guidance? I'm currently having trauma therapy in an effort to improve my non-epileptic attacks / functional seizures but I'm concerned with my therapist. As soon as she knew I was gay, she…

Private GP but NHS for other services?
Is it permitted for an individual to have a private GP who deals with general health matters, blood tests, prescriptions and such, but be referred by this private GP to NHS services for more complex matters? My worry is that there is some sort of conflict of interest i.e. a private GP can only refer to other private…

I've now also been diagnosed with EUPD without the psychiatrist on the NHS even seeing me. She wrote that I should be prescribed low-dose antipsychotic medication in periods of crises. I've just had enough.

Hello
Hello, my story is more than 30 years old (first time I saw a psychiatrist, I was 23y.o.), so forgive me if I just give it in dribs & drabs. I'm so depressed right now, I don't have energy to write in a colourful way.
