I just went to make an appointment with my psychiatrist, and was told that he has discharged me because I have missed 2 appointments! Which I haven't. I know I have missed one appointment, and that is why I was calling to re-arrange (it was over a month ago, but i've been doing badly and just haven't re-scheduled it). If they arranged me another appt because I missed the first, nobody let me know. They didn't let me know I had been discharged!

I was told that I have to go back to my GP for another referral so that I can make an appointment. So I have to have an appointment with my general doctor, who will write me a new prescription (I've ran out and have been getting my prescription from the psychiatrist, who has now discharged me), who will then refer me back to them. What a waste of time! This also means I have to ask the psychiatrist when I eventually see him, to refer me back to the CPN for CBT! I've just been completely cut off and all I did was miss one appointment! You'd think that they'd be a bit more considerate, I just feel completely unsupported and as if it shows that he really didn't care about me to cut me off so easily.
