Call wasn't massively helpful as there isn't much my GP can do. Plus for some reason I find it a lot harder to speak to my GP on the phone than in person. Not like this with everyone but am with my GP.
But we have a plan for me to contact the IAPT service I think won't accept me for EMDR / that my neuropsychogist didn't think was suitable and get confirmation that this is the case. Because once we have that in black and white then GP can use that to pushback and advocate for me to get EMDR somewhere. Have to jump through hoops to show their suggestion is wrong basically.
Going to leave meds as they are for now as sometimes they are doing more than you realise and coming off one that has worked in past to switch while struggling can be risky. Venaflaxine might be worth a try but see if we can get things a little more stable first.
Keep reaching out when I get suicidal / get self harm thoughts. Didn't overly discuss thoughts, he asked why I think things are worse at the moment and I said think it's tied to EMDR situation / lack of support I had hoped for and not feeling heard in CMHT assessment. As well as stress of being stuck in this cycle of bouncing in and out of hospital with asthma.
Realised I forgot to mention that first response had mentioned trying to get support from Primary Care Network mental health nurse while I wait for support worker will try and remember for next week.
Have a follow up call in diary for next week. Tired of the system and not super hopeful but I keep trying
