Hey. I'm sorry you're feeling so alone. Do you think the nights are exacerbating how you're feeling tight now?

My family are from Dorset, so I know how bad the waiting times are (due to it being so rural). There's always the option of going to A&E and asking to see someone from the on call psych team (DCH have one I think, not sure about Yeovil) because it might speed up the referral.

Out of hours, it might be possible to ask your GP to refer you to the crisis/HTT in your area, and I think NHSdirect can transfer your call through, though I don't know if you need to already be registed with them. NHSdirect or Samaritans can be quite helpful to talk to.

I think making a complaint is a good idea; no reply is unacceptable, and you should be able to change him by contacting the CMHT directly. There should also be an on-call psych for any given day that you can speak to if your CC is busy.

	It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go. No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year, so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
