Hi Katie,
Thank you for your response :) I'm in the Uk, Ive done 12 sessions of CBT and it did not touch upon any of my issues, it was inconsistent and very unhelpful. I wouldn't look to return.
I have been trying to desperately to get some support from secondary services, as my mh issues have been negatively affecting my life, work etc but their attitude is always 'over your dead body.'
My counsellor was so concerned that she referred me on to secondary services, where I told a psychiatrist (at an assessment on Friday) that I was feeling suicidal AGAIN and he for some reason sent a letter to my gp saying that I said I was perfectly fine and had no present concerns over my wellbeing. What? How did this happen?! I am shocked!
So on this false basis, they are denying me a care co ordinator. It's very upsetting, because I met with the manager of the crisis team and their psychiatrist, I described how I was feeling, and we were in agreement even at that time, that extra support was both needed and reasonable. (This meeting was months before I even had the assessment with the psychiatrist on Friday).
I have had to send an email to go to the psychiatrist who did Fridays assessment, and it has also been forwarded to my gp, highlighting the issue that the fact I said I was suicidal AGAIN and have tried to kill myself 3 times in a row (March, April, May) was not noted and again ignored.
I met with my gp today and discussed it all. She says to wait 2 weeks for a response and in the mean time have booked a follow up appointment with gp for 2 weeks' time. we are waiting apparently not to be fobbed off again.....xx
