Good lord. This sounds like the type of advice I have gotten from the Acute Care Team in my health district. I have called them when I was suicidal, they said use your coping techniques, called in a mixed state use your coping techniques etc No one even listened to me to say I have used them for weeks and they arent working.
Last week I got jack of it turned up at ED told the person from the acute care teaam that if someone tells me one more time to try my coping techniques iwas going to shove them up their ***. I finally got a med reviewwhich I should have had a month before. I was surprised that they took the time to read my T and GP letters. They even said to take an extra valium.
I wish these persons could experience a mixed state or severe anxiety for 5 days and then imagine having it for a whole month non-stop.
