    Hi @cupcake88 - so good to hear from you, but sorry you've got Covid. I hope it only affects you mildly like it did my daughter, who had it recently, but is absolutely fine now. Look after yourself. Hugs, xx

    Hi every one I think I’m over the worst of it now . The nice nurse who does my injection came out because I couldn’t go there because I have covid . I’m feeling very low my friends I rang my rubbish nurse and she said 
    it’s because of covid why I’m down and suicidal when she knows I feel like this always just had covid to also deal with.

    i start my therapy in March so hopefully it will help . Or it could 
    make me worst before making m
    me better . I was told I couldn’t have a meds review honestly my mental health team is aload of rubbish . 

    I just called the crisis team but they could take hours to get back to me . I just feel so mentally unwell x

    Hi @cupcake88 - good to hear you're over the worst of Covid symptoms like my eldest daughter. Good your nice nurse was able to come out & give you your injection.
    It's very hard to understand where your poor nurse is coming from; she certainly lacks understanding!
    It must be frustrating for you, but you're doing the right thing in calling the crisis team. As you know, just ring for an ambulance if you can't wait; you must keep yourself safe my dear friend.
    What sort of therapy will you get in March?
    Please stay strong, & always keep yourself safe. As ever in my thoughts & prayers, xx

    @chiarieds Sorry to hear your daughter had covid I hope she’s feeling better . How are you ? I was in a n e earlier saw a member of the mental Health assessment team and they said I need more help so they have referred me back to the home based treatment where I will get daily support not just when my team will be bothered she literally said the nearest hospital bed is 6 hours im not going to go that far I just need more support in the community. Thanks so much for having me in your prayers and for all your support 
    @Libby_Scope hi there thanks for your message I’m starting trauma therapy soon which I hope will help . It was nice seeing the nice nurse . I feel like my nurse is going to tell me off on Monday for going to a n e because she does nothing to help

    Hi cupcake 

    Im glad you went to A&E earlier and had a good chat with the nurse, and theyr sorting more support for you.

    Dont worry about your nurse saying anything because you went to A&E, you did the right thing.

    Take care ❤️

    Hi @cupcake88 - my eldest daughter is fine now; I was hoping you'd only be mildly affected with Covid too, & get over it quickly, as you have enough going on. I'm OK. thank you, & all the better for hearing you kept yourself safe. This sounds like 'hopefully' a positive for you, as daily support sounds really good, & something you need; so glad this has happened at last, just so dreadfully sorry this has taken so long. Don't worry about the other nurse on Monday, as Lou says, just concentrate on the help you'll receive.
    It is as ever a privilege to try & support you my dear friend; I know you'd do the same for any of your friends in the community. Stay positive; you'll get there, xx

    @Lou67.  Hi Lou how are you ? The nurse I had a chat with was very nice and she wanted to avoid me going back to hospital 
    as she said they can be 
    very chaotic which they can be .
    plus there’s no local beds . 

    When my nurse reads the notes she will tell me off for seeking extra help but she tells me I’m doing well when I’m Constantly feeling like this which I keep telling her and she just tells 
    me to do some colouring 
    or watch telly . 

    I feel like services are really letting me down xx

    Hi cupcake 

    Im fine thanks for asking.

    Please don’t worry about asking for more help, as that’s the best thing you can do for yourself.

    Hopefully things will get better for you in time with the new support your  going to be receiving daily,as I’m sure it will help you lots.

    Just stay strong and no you have so many friends on here that love and care for you. ❤️

    Lou couldn't have put it better. I hope you know how much you mean to us all. Do so hope things will indeed become better for you with better community support, & don't worry about that dratted nurse.
    You don't have to go back into hospital, as has been identified, especially with no local beds available. What matters is that you do the best for you. You will get there with appropriate care & support. I can't tell you how much love & hugs I send, xx

    Hiya @cupcake88,
    I didn’t receive notifications from this thread for a little while, so apologies that my replies have been a little intermittent.

    As others have already said, I am bursting with pride that you went to A&E. That is such a big, important and brave step, especially when your brain is being mean. You bring so much good into the lives of others (including everyone here) & we will remind you of that every day, if necessary. Something that I like to tell myself often: some of your very best and most beautiful days haven’t happened yet — it’s worth sticking around for them, that much is a promise <3.

    It sounds like getting more consistent support will be a wonderful thing, too. I only wish that it had happened sooner, but I’m hoping so fiercely that everything will turn a corner for you now. Remember that seeking help will never be a weakness, okay? It is, in fact, one of the greatest strengths. You have that in abundance!

    Hi @cupcake - how are you today? Has that dratted nurse been & gone? Don't let anything she says upset you; only you know how you're feeling, & how to keep yourself safe, not her. Thank goodness the nurse that gives your injections seems so good & kind, as they all should be.
    Are you managing to keep a little active? I do hope so. Hoping to hear from you when you can. Love & hugs as ever, my friend, xx

    Hi every one thanks for your kind words of support it means so much to me that I have so many friends on this forum . 

    I have struggled all weekend been in a n e and had to use the crisis pad last night . My horrible 
    nurse called me today and 
    was really rude asking why I was in a n e and why I seeked extra support . So my response was would you rather me of taken my own life ? And she couldn’t answer that . 
    That’s why there are services there to help people who are struggling really bad which I was . 

    Yes it’s my nice nurse tomorrow 
    doing my injection for me I need 
    a change of nurse ASAP I’m gonna send them another letter 
    because we don’t get on she’s no 
    good for me and causes me to be very anxious . 

    I have had a good day my lovely partner was off work so we went out for the day which was nice . 

    My day’s are so up and down 

    how are you all x

    Hi cupcake 
    I’m doing ok thanks for asking.

    Im glad you had a good day with your partner.

    Dont you worry about the nurse you don’t get on with, if you need to phone 999 everyday to keep yourself safe that’s what you do.

    It’ll be nice for you to have a chat with the nurse you do like tomorrow.

    Just stay strong and keep safe ❤️

    Hi every one my mood is still very low . I’m even more down because I’m scared my nurse is going to tell me off on Monday for calling the crisis team . I’m sick of her telling me off like I’m a child it’s very degrading . I have A meeting next week With her and this therapist because I start my therapy soon . I really rather she was there for my meeting . 

    I’m having a real hard time because I’m scared to call crisis where as my other nurse I had used to encourage me to always call the out of hours if struggling , 

    I’m just feeling very suicidal today
