I understand what your saying I really do its all consuming what they done to us psychology through social media is horrific they have left us all in a constant state of terror when emotions are high and run by fear its easy to see no way out it'd torture I feel the same it comes over me like steam train the panic and worry we transport ourself into like a movie playing out of all the things that could happen that's our past coming into play you must keep close contact with your gp they must be getting hundreds of calls about this today is going to be hard for us psychology but let's hope it's better than we think you are not alone we have people fighting for us and alot of activists are on lwcra pip so they understand let me know how you feel later

Thank you for your message, I feel alright now. I read the green paper and I feel calmer now because it looks like my pip is safe because of getting 4 points in an activity. Lack of sleep definitely makes things worse, haven't slept properly in weeks. Been meaning to contact my community mental health team and chase my follow up appt with my psychiatrist because I still haven't heard from them and they said it would be in 2 months but its been 3 months now and no contact.. And i really need to speak to them because I feel like I'm falling into crisis again. I literally only got discharged from mental health hospital in end of Nov and I'm not really getting any support. Just sick of being in and out of hospitals, just want to be normal.

Hi @Fuji I am glad you are feeling a bit better now. I think it would be a good idea for you to contact your Community mental health team and let them know how you are feeling and chase your follow up appointment with your psychiatrist.
Please take care of yourself.

I am so glad you are feeling better, I was worried about you. I understand your frustration with mental health services. I got a text this morning saying I will have to wait at least 10 weeks for my referral to CMHS. There are always people on this platform who understand and are here to help, or just listen. You are never alone.

Yeah I feel like its been emotional torture for weeks now. Im not contacting my gp after last time. Last year I was in crisis again, my psychiatrist cancelled my face to face appt because he was ill. I literally got the phone call from his secretary as I just got parked and was waiting to go in as I was 30 mins early. I then tried my gp at 9am asking for an urgent appt for my mental health, the receptionist said I rang too late and there were no appt and she didnt offer any help or anything. I then tried to jump off beachy head the next day and got admitted to hospital for a month again. I've been out of hospital since end of Nov and have had no support from my community mental health team except for an appt with a new psychiatrist as my usual one was busy. I was told I would have a 2 month follow up but its now been 3 months+ and still havent heard anything.. I know I really need to talk to my psychiatrist but I hate ringing up the reception because they don't answer the phone and last time it took me 4 days to get through.

10 weeks? thats way too long. I've been with my community mental health team for years now since like 2017 and back then there was no long wait at all. I was referred within 2 days. Things have got really bad now in terms of waits etc. I'm sorry you are going through that long wait for your referral. I think the reason why mine was quick referral back then was because I was sectioned at University so I was admitted to hospital and then came home and had crisis team and then I was referred.

Thank you and I know I need to, I just get really nervous on the phone and then when it takes days to get through to reception its like why bother. Also the phone cuts out after a while of waiting so you have to keep initiating the call and last time it took me 4 days of ringing and ringing to get through. They don't make it easy. But yeah I really do need to before I crash and burn again.

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 ๐ 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.

Hi thank you.
We have had work men banging and clanging all week in the flats here and that doesn't help alongside the proposed benefit reforms
Good luck with your .assessment.
I'm not sure what I think about DNAR or the assisted dyeing bill tbh

True I live alone and sometimes I don't see a single person
I am going to make the effort to go out for a stroll today.
Its cold but dry here.
I feel quite physically and mentally drained over these proposed benefit reforms.
