    I’ve been trying all day to get through to my mental health team but with no luck. Going to try someone else to see if they can help. Need help soon.

    Hi  @cripps

    So sorry your having a bad day.
    Have you got through to the mental health team?
    Can your doctor not help push it through quicker for you?
    They phoned my husband the same day, I went to see mine.
    I wish i knew what to say
    If your struggling you can also contact the Samaritans?

    Thank you, I’m going to give it till 5 o’clock and if nobody has contacted me then I’m going to ring my GP. It’s a horrible feeling being alone with no where to turn, I’ve never felt so low. Thanks for being around, much appreciated.

    Hi @cripps,
    I understand,i attempted suicide just a couple of weeks ago after many years of on/off suicidal thoughts.
    It is hard to get help sometimes for any mental illness such as depression as the vast majority of professional people you turn to initially for help simply don't/won't understand or learn.
    2 days after my attempt,my GP tried to prescribe the same anti depressant i had taken 3  years ago,i had never felr so low in my life at that point and it was the cause of me changing gp surgeries-all in my notes but my gp didn't look before printing out the script obviously.

    On the plus side,it's nice to see so many positive,encouraging comments rather than snipey,sarcastic replies you can get when a certain type of person thinks before they type,there is no need or tolerance foir that on a site like this,surely.

    I hope you'll be ok <3<3

    Neil aka @cripps Sorry to read this sad news and the suffering your going through I've been their to, lucky enough I have now a great support team in place I also wanted to be put on the DNAR register so if I ever tried again I woulden't be brought back to life. They won't put me on that register because of my mental state and say I'm not savvy enough to make that decision.

    I really feel for you buddy because the whole process of going round and around just to survive is hard. One thing I have learnt since I did the same as yourself it made me more determined to fight these people and not let them add you as Just a statistic on a bit of paper.

    Stay strong stay safe. Where all here for you and you know that. God bless.
    Sorry to change the subject but @Gov@Governments_A_Joke can you tell me where you asked about the DNR?
    I have been thinking about doing this for a while and don’t know how to, have done a search online but still don’t know.
    @cri@cripps, glad to gear your getting out and about now 
    @susan48 You need to ask your Doctor to be put on the  Do Not resuscitate register, but I doubt very much they will do it for you as mine woulden't as I'm not mentally capable to make that decision and have that choice. So I was point blank refused.

    @cripps Now you have now got a team in place hopefully it won't take to long to see them they will help you I've now been with mine for over 4 years and help me sort lots of things out Benefits being one. You will still get days why bother but one you can trust them you will be glad you did.

    Also don't let this beat you, your worth more than that Neil and being alone is very hard. I thought I would never be in the situation of being alone but how wrong I was it's one of the most hardest things to cope with, I don't trust people FTF that's why I won't got to Benefit assessments my team deal with them for me so far so good. Take care buddy and that goes for anyone else in this situation.

    I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,
    This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
    I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.

    Good Morning @cripps

    Hope you've had a good night?

    I'm so relieved you are now getting help, from the mental health team. 
    And your doctor is now supporting you too. You sound positive this morning, which is really good to hear.
    Have a lovely day
