If you have had positive or negative, (or mixed) experiences with the Home Treatment Team/Crisis Team, please share.

I'm currently under the team after 2 months of feeling suicidal and self harming but no attempt. I keep myself safe, which might be the problem with getting help with other things like my low mood. I've been in hospital for 3 weeks voluntarily last year and found I had no help there either. There were more volatile patients in there than myself.

I'm finding the HTT useless at the moment. They aren't taking my problems with severely low mood (it fluctuates through the day) seriously. I'm seeing them every other day and they are telling me to continue doing what I usually do which is distracting myself and sleeping when I can. But how long will this last and how much can I take? I do not want to go into hospital again- I've been Sectioned before, and the thought of hospital is deterring me from seriously harming myself. I loathe mental health wards.

What do the HTT/CRT do for you?
