Mental health

Hi everyone, the sun is shining and that sometimes helps. I have decided to write to my gp so thank you all.

Thank you, yes I'm hoping they will back down. Its unfair how we are being punished for their failures.

@Bluebell21

Thank you.

I am tired today but I'm going out later for a few drinks to celebrate Saint Patrick's day.

I am struggling, wake up with knots in my belly tummy churning feel sick bowels up the wall too. My pain is worse than it has been too, I wish they would understand how the months of speculation has made everything worse for us. I've suffered with pain and physical disability for over 30 years and yet still have reviews every 3 years, I'm not going to get better as my nerve damage is permanent, my other illnesses are lifelong and deteriorating I have terrible pain daily and need help with most things but I would choose those over the mental anguish of the PTSD I developed a couple of years ago after the traumatic death of my younger sibling that I witnessed and all the processes that followed. On top of that my review papers came through just weeks after death and before we could have any funeral, the review took almost a year as did the inquest and investigations my anxiety has been on high alert ever since, my PTSD has been worse the past few weeks with all these changes and speculation. I fight every day to not go over the edge into oblivion but how long can you fight for when you feel the whole world is against you.

Morning all.

The sun is shining

I have a flare up of my fibro and burning with pain.

Yes a telephone assessment is what I am waiting for. I went through Talking Therapies but they only deal with short term/simple issues. I need specialist longer term help for my C-PTSD. Don't get me started on wait times for ADHD assessments 🙄 I suppose I survived nearly 53 years without one, waiting longer won't kill me.

Good morning @luvpink I'm sorry you're not feeling too good. I'm headache y too after yesterday, hoping itcdiesnt become migraine. I've got a gp appt on phone tonight was asking for help two weeks ago re depression/my ant i depressants but now, I'm going to tell her I want DNAR put on my records and ask her about the Assisted Dying Act if it gets passed and widened to include those who are not 'terminally ill' I want included in the future.

In the meantime I'm going to try to summon up to fight the plans. Just not today.

I do hope you start to feel better and that you can gave a restful day, take care of yourself.

@luvpink thank you. Same here, roofers on bungalows opposite but guess at least I see somebody 🙄🙂

I am going to email my MP again.

Good morning, just reading through some of your comments makes me so sad, sad that the mental health service is like a merry go around of waiting and waiting then get so many allocated sessions of whatever treatment to be stopped when allocation is up then back to being referred and waiting all over again. I'm tired, weary and the past few weeks have made so many feel hopeless too. It's cruel how they've dealt with mental health and the comments trivialising people with mental illness. I hope you can all manage to get some rest x
