Well, I wrote the letter I needed to write and sent that off. I saw my psychiatrist. That's about all I got done. Though technically I got the "feel miserable" one ticked off, too (not much of a highlight really).

I've had my meds switched from citalopram to sertraline as I wasn't experiencing any improvement on the citalopram. We discussed lithium, the result being that its an option but when I'm more stable and less suicidal as the lithium could apparently complicate things. It's a bit awkward I have to be less depressed to go on a mood stabiliser but that's the way it goes I guess!

My psychiatrist explained to me that the social workers are very busy at the moment due to a "big change with the way they work with the rest of the adult team" which is why she hasn't been able to get in touch but said she will try and get me an appointment when she next "discuss[es] my case" with her. Not much use to me and other patients but there we go!

Soon ill be attempting to live on £40 a week as I've got more bills to pay from next month onwards and I can no longer rely on my credit card for food and living essentials because I've almost maxed it out.

Things really aren't going well for me at the moment.
