Thanks Justmeandmyhead, though I'm sorry it happened to you too

How did you convince them that you weren't faking?? The thing is that it isn't just the one person that thinks this about me, but the whole CMHT, so I don't know what to do. I guess I just have to wait until I return to Uni pdoc.

I've seen you struggle with depression and psychosis, and I'm sorry those stupid doctors think you're faking. It's not right. It was very wrong of them to just completely dismiss you like that.

Thank you so much Atypical

I don't know which one because he didn't even tell me he changed it.
So I had my new nurse - since my time was up with EIP.
She thought I was faking and she didn't say it out right, but she used this example that was " you'd know it wasn't true and so would I"
I was pissed immensely and it hurt as well.
Then she realised I wasn't faking and my Dr agreed.
Not that agree with their diagnosis, but it's better than them thinking I'm faking.
I'm just telling you this, because I get a little bit of how you are feeling 
That's really harsh what they are doing to you

Thanks Kureha

It's crazy that this has happened to 3 of us here and all from the UK...is it something about the training here???
