I can relate to that with the crisis team. Often with me they will go off on a tangent about what's been on TV or shopping etc. Like you, I'm not sure how to tell them that really I need them to be speaking to me about how I feel. I wonder if anyone else in this thread might have some tips for us? Well done for phoning though. I am glad you feel able to assure them that you won't do anything tonight. Will you have contact with them tomorrow?
I've just to contact them when I need them. I'm supposed to phone them if i'm thinking about overdosing but i'm not going to because i'll end up getting caught and my medication will be stopped. I'm just sad that I won't be able to go to hospital any more when i've overdosed, it's all part of the journey for me. I know that sounds bad.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
It's part of your illness ~ don't worry, nobody is going to judge you. I think for me as well when I self harm, if I didn't go to hospital it would feel strange for me. There are times I haven't but more often than not I need it to be "bad" enough or whatever.
Would they consider putting you on daily prescription?
Ah, I understand. I'm sorry I wasn't around last night to reply. Got admitted to hospital again overnight - entirely pointless because the consultant didn't want me admitted so discharged me 9am this morning. Getting so frustrated! I don't think they factor in how (I can't think of the damn word!) disruptive it is to your life having to adjust to being in hosp then home then hosp etc. Last night crisis team were clear they would section me if I didn't come in and then today it's like no you have to go.
Tig... I just wanted to pop by and leave you some supportive cuddles in a sparkley box *hands over*. I'm sorry you had such a rough night, it certainly would have been very disruptive, and I hope you're feeling a bit better. You've been an amazing support to me recently so wanted to pop in when I say this, and say thank you, and hope you feel better soon xxxxx
Tig I'm so sorry you had a rough night. *hugs* if Ok.
I'm not doing so well. I can barely walk because of all the sh and yet I want to do more... spoke to CPN and she is putting me under the care of the home treatment team/crisis team every day yet again. I hope it's the same people as last time, and not new people. But I feel like a complete failure :(

Tig, that sounds very frustrating. What sort of help do you think would be beneficial for you?
Once A Fallen Angel, sorry I can't remember if you've told us your name. What's causing things to be so difficult for you right now? I'm here if you need to talk.
Alfie, welcome to the thread. I'm glad you're feeling better :)

We are all here for you, Vicky. Please get in touch at any time.
I've taken an overdose :( not really feeling the effects yet. Don't know what to do. Breathing Space told me to keep in touch with them over the weekend but if I phone them and tell them what i've done they'll try to get me to talk to NHS 24 but I won't give them my name. I can't risk having to go to hospital and my psychiatrist finding out because then all of my medication will be stopped. I'm so stupid.

Oh onestepcloser (sorry, now I don't know YOUR name!) , please please phone NHS direct. You are NOT stupid, you are just feeling unwell at the moment. But you will be physically very ill if you don't get help, or worse, please get some help. What would you say if I said I'd taken an OD? You would be frog marching me to A&E I bet!!
Right now please don't think about the future and what your psych would do, you need medical help-- NOW.

My name is Lindsay by the way. I'm too scared to get help. I can't afford to have my medication stopped. I need it to stay reasonably well. I just need someone to tell me how to manage this myself.

The thing is Lindsay none of us CAN tell you how to manage it yourself, because a) we don't know what/how much you've taken and b) ODs affect different people different ways. Are you on your own? Is there anyone who can at the veryvery least stay with you?

As long as he is there, incase you turn ill. But I do wish you'd phone NHS :( . The thing is, with you saving your evening meds for ODing you aren't taking them and then they aren't helping you... what if they helped so much you didn't feel the need to OD?
I'm ok thanks, well sort of ok!!

Lindsay I'm very worried about you, I'm hoping you have sought treatment. Please let us know when you are well enough if you are ok.
After a horrible day I've not got the Crisis team coming to do an assessment on me tomorrow, I've gone through it all a few months ago but doesn't make it any less scary this time around.
