    Hi cupcake 

    You have enough on your mind without worrying about your nurse.

    You need to keep yourself safe and phone 999 anytime you need them.

    Take care ❤️

    Hi every one today’s been another down day my medication really needs looking at but they don’t listen to me I’m gonna go higher and make a report to pals with the lack of support I’m getting . I start my therapy next week hopefully she will be nice my therapist. Once my therapy is finished I think there thinking of discharging next any way and I still need a lot of support but I’m not getting it from the professionals involved in my care it’s like they just don’t care the way I’m spoken too . 

    The hospital is good they have a mental health team based there so that’s good there nice to chat too but I noticed they act more after I have taken an over 
    dose vs when I say I’m suicidal which isn’t great . 

    They told me the other day there are literally no beds in the country available and I do believe them because it was the hospital who told me and she did like a safety plan with me the nurses in a n e are really nice I think they all know me well by now ha . I feel like I live at a n e I’m there so much trying to get support . 

    Thanks so much to you all for all your support it means so much 
    to me x

    Hi @cupcake88 - I'm sure you'll get on with your therapist as you're such a lovely person, & I'm sure they'll want to help you.
    You're doing exactly the right thing in going to A & E when needed, tho I'm sorry your needs are not fully understood by them......surely actively supporting you, rather than responding more if you've taken an overdose, is way better. Keep fighting for the help you need my dear friend.
    Sorry I've not been on the forum much, but I do continue to hold you in my thoughts, & prayers every night. Keep safe above all. Sending much love & hugs, xx

    @Teddybear12 hi teddy bear how are you ? The reason why they won’t change my meds is because there saying  I already saw a consultant recently when I was in hospital that was a few months ago . Tomorrow I meet my therapist for the first time I’m not sure how long the therapy is for I would say a few months x

    Hi @cupcake88 - I've not been so good, but nothing more than a painful, swollen ankle. Think I'm getting there, but I'm a wimp when I have anything more than my 'normal' pain!
    I'm sorry you understandably feel let down by the mental health system, but do so hope that the start of therapy may truly help. Thank you saying you'll update us all tomorrow. My bestest wishes that it is a new beginning for you. Sent with oodles of love, my friend, xx

    Hi there @cupcake88,
    I’ve not been on the forum myself much lately, so I’m only just seeing this, but it looks like I’m just in time to wish you so much luck and love for today! It can be so intensely difficult to try these things when you have been let down consistently, but here you are. That is very, very brave. I’ll be looking forward to an update and hoping for the very best, but know that we’ll support you whatever the outcome <3

    Hi cupcake 

    Im so sorry to read your feeling this way again.
    You sd your therapy went really well, give yourself some time to start feeling the benefit off it.

    Please do not touch the paracetamol and phone for help instead.

    Stay safe ❤️

    Hi I have just spoken to the crisis team they recommend hospital if I’m feeling that bad but I really don’t want to go to a n e . I just told crisis that I’m not getting support from my nurse nor 
    is she requesting the consultant to see me . I’m sure she will tell me off when she reads what I said to the crisis team but I don’t really care . 

    I’m hoping the therapist will help she seems really nice and I think 
    I will get on really well with her x

    I've just sent you an email reply @cupcake88, so please do keep an eye out for that.

    It can be really difficult when you feel so low, and aren't sure why. We'd like to try and help if we can :)

    Sorry @cupcake88- I hadn't seen your reply when I posted mine!

    I do think it could be worth going to A&E if you're feeling really low, as they may be able to help you stay safe for the time being. Would your partner be able to go with you? 

    Having a therapist you feel you can get on with can make all the difference, so that really is good news :)

    Hi @cupcake88 - as always keep yourself safe my dear friend. Do keep thinking of the positives, as you say you have the most amazing partner, & your dog who look after you, & now the addition of a kind therapist you can work with. You always have us all here too. So no taking tablets, go to A & E instead if needed.
    Again good to see you fighting; you do need the crisis team to look into your concerns, & it was right to say their support is lacking. Keep being so strong, xx
