Hmm, I so relate to the only diagnosed issue being depression. I've just started CBT with IAPTs and so far all we've done is screening and risk management. Needless to say the screening has thrown out all sorts of potential issues with no resources to follow them up.

The risk management thing has p*** me off a bit too, as I thought I was doing pretty well on that score and I feel like I'm being told I'm not. Perhaps they deliberately generated a faulty cognition to give themselves something they could actually work with.

Sometimes in the NHS merry-go-round we get lucky and find the right person, sounds like that happened with the crisis team the other night. Obvious advice really, but keep a record of what works and why and share it with your support network as appropriate. Experience is always better than theory, perhaps.
