I've done this many times, I really find it helpful, I feel like I can express myself much better in words than I could ever by speaking.

Of course a doctor will take you seriously, good luck

That's good! It gets your message across very clearly. I hope it helps you x

i did it,

i didnt use the letter, i just blurted it all out to a different doctor who took it very seriously.. my usual doctor would laugh when i told him i keep condering cutting my guts open... went through MH history with todays doctor and whats been happening lately.. shes referred me to a psychologist, gave me the number for the crisis team.. and told me to hold and take care of myself.. my referral will take 2 weeks to a month..

i feel worse now then i did before.. i dont know how im going to explain this **** to my partner.. and now the cat has spewed pretty much through my house on the carpet... *sigh*

I'm really proud of you for just splurting it out to the doctor, that's great, well done, I would really struggle to do that.

It sounds like they are taking you seriously, do you think you could call the crisis team if you feel bad?

Does your partner have any idea of how much you are struggling?

Stay strong and use the crisis team if you need them x

I find it really helpful to write things down for my care coordinator or Dr and I give it to them when I see them if I can't 'blurt it out'.

It's great that you were able to do it and it sounds like you were taken seriously so hopefully the help will work!

Probably not likely to use the number... Can other people call you in though? I think my partner is likely to if i flip again.. Which ii guess wundnt durprise me if i did...eh..
I was pretty surprised i blurted it out too.. I was utterly terrified..

Excuse my crap typing. Im on an anriod.

Yes, someone can call the crisis team on your behalf if they are concerned about you, the crisis team can also offer them help and advice.

How are you feeling today?
