Personally, yeah I'm pissed off with the nhs too... it's just a mismanagement headache... too big a machine with no communication between departments + lackadaisical staff who say one thing and then don't deliver heh.
Was told by the personality disorder team I'd get a follow up letter beginning of last week (not arrived)... been waiting for a screening appointment for aspergers since August (still not been scheduled nor any real clue when it will be)... and my cpn is scatty as hell (lovely guy, don't get me wrong)... I'm now having to text him two days before I see him to 'remind him' of what he needs to do on my behalf such as discuss meds with my p-doc or chase up other departments as listed above.
So yeah... I very much sympathise with what you're having to deal with. |
I know there is a duty worker to talk to, but I feel a bit awkward talking to them cause last time they weren't very helpful. I had voices in my head and they told me to tell them to shut up and she said your welcome before is even said anything and then hung up.
I am diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, but don't think it's accurate as my moods last for 7/8 months at a time. But they don't take anyone very seriously because you know, we aren't as qualified as them.
I always think they aren't too bothered because they aren't experiencing it. My mental health is practically disabling me and they just expect you to live with it.
