Is what true???
It is true that nobody will treat me. Nobody in psychology anyway. Basically... There are three teams and two psychologists to each team. That makes 6 of them. You are supposed to stay within your team but it isn't to hard to change... But it can be hard because when they say 'there isn't anybody to treat you' you have to ask 'in my team or in the whole service???' But it turns out... It is the whole service. I've seen both psychologists from my team. One met me once and recomended nobody work with me. The other one saw me for maybe 3 months and then terminated me (she said she didn't know what to do with me and she got sick worrying about it). I have worked with one of another team and she recomended nobody work with me. I have met the other one off the same team and she won't work with me. I have met another one off the last team and she won't work with me and I don't know who the other person is but I think it is fair to assume that they don't want to work with me either. CBT is silent on my dx and they don't know what to do with me.P-docs are medication prescribers but they have a fair bit of leeway to do what they want. Most of them won't work with me. But they come and go a fair bit. Most of them don't want to do anything other than prescribe medication. Most of them are busy enough just doing that.
So there it is.
Nobody will treat me in community mental health.> What are your meds?
> Are you taking them?Effexor and Seroquel.
Nope.
They don't help.> You shouldn't be feeling this sadness, not if your medication is working.
i don't think any medication really helps. That is the problem...
>Frustrated, angered by the system, okay .. but able to fight, able to stand.
> You must stand up for what you believe to be right, Alex. But you need to be lucid and strong. Don't crumble. I feel you crumbling, yet again. Remember the strength you felt when you came out of hospital last time. Remember the kindness there, and the caring. Who will help you at this time? There must be someone. And again, are you taking your meds???I think...
I think Ive hit the end of the line with community mental health.
The time has come to accept it.
I did fight
For a number of years
I fought hard as I could
But there is nothing left to be done.
