Hi everyone 

last week I had to attend A&E again as I wasn’t coping, not eating getting no sleep feel unsafe in my home

after speaking to the psychiatric liaison dr he discharged me and told me he would email my local council

i received the discharge letter today and he has put that my current presentation is not indicative of acute mental illness nor being in a mental health crisis

reading this has made me angry as I wouldn’t have attended A&E if I wasn’t suffering 

I can only put this down to talking calm to them when they ask me questions as I don’t want to get high rate 

but this letter has made me want to go back and start shouting swearing at them….im angry

    I suffer, badly, from psychiatric break downs. Can I ask, were you in anyway intoxicated?

    Sorry to hear about your break downs

    no I wasn’t intoxicated as I don’t drink nor take drugs (I don’t even like taking prescribed meds)
