I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences. I agree that it must be a stressful job but still don't think it's okay for you to be treated like that. I hope you do find someone who's willing to listen to you.
I've had a really good experience with the crisis team here. I haven't always co-operated with them as much as I could have but they've always been kind, never seemed annoyed when I've been less than honest with them. They've taken lots of time to call and visit even when I've felt like I'm wasting their time. I've only called them once (it takes a lot for me to call someone when I'm having a crisis, so it says a lot about them that I felt able to) and the woman I spoke to was really good and came round straight away. I ended up being admitted and they were supportive when I was on leave and one of them came in to see various people and basically got me discharged when I hadn't seen the drs for ages, and took me home :)
So yeah, I've had a brilliant experience with them actually, they've been really helpful and I'm not sure where I'd be without them, they quite possibly saved my life.
I wish everyone could have such a positive experience.
