    Hi @abbeym395
    I'm sorry to hear you ended up in A&E, I hope you are feeling a bit better today!
    The service sounds really positive so I hope they are able to help. The OT assessment sounds promising as well :)

    The service sounds like a good one. I hope that they can offer you some answers soon! What tests were done? Have the results come back or not? 
    Let us know what happens at the OT evaluation.

    Thanks for the support everyone.  They only did bloods this time which were all basically normal.  I'm starting to get very fed up with everything and my mental health is declining but I'm fighting it all.

    Are you seeing a therapist or not? Talking about your mental health does help seriously.

    I'm under the mental health team but they're useless.  I'm currently waiting for an ambulance after an OD, other SH and an urge to hurt others.  Scared but my partner is helpful.

    Hi @abbeym395, how are you doing today?

    I am incredibly rough.  Waiting to see GP for another potential readmission.  The liaison psych person on Saturday tried to scare me by saying I'd end up in prison if I didn't stop saying I was hearing voices telling me to hurt others, basically.  I'm in so much pain, I'm barely sleeping, I'm vomiting and fed up.  My mental health is now as poor as my physical health and oh, the council is threatening to evict me for the mess that I've been trying to get help with for MONTHS.

    I actually hope they readmit me so I can actually get things sorted out.

    Hi @abbeym395, I'm so sorry to hear this, it sounds like things have been really tough recently. I really hope they can sort things out as well.

    GP was worried but knows a physical health ward is not the best place for me right now.  She's giving it until tomorrow morning, chasing mental health and if nothing improves then off to hospital I go

    Well I saw the doctor, she noticed how dehydrated I looked and basically said there was nothing she could do apart from poke mental health.  So the buck is being passed.  Again.  Made another appointment for Thursday so we shall see.  Fed up with one person saying one thing then the next saying something different!

    I'm sorry @abbeym395, I imagine being past from person to person is confusing and frustrating! I hope Thursday goes okay :)

    It was good :) One of the people supporting me came to help and this was with my named doctor and he gave me all the time I needed and extra support too.  Then I went and had a coffee with the support worker and we talked everything through.  Feeling more optimistic.  Not going to let this define my life.  Been swimming today at doctors suggestion to keep my legs stronger.  Feeling supported for the first time in awhile.
