I haven't been discharged from my mental health team yet after almost 5 years so I guess I'm kind of lucky there. But they do have the habit of dropping the ball after a while and I kind of just slip off the radar for a while, not hearing from anyone and not knowing who to get in touch with if I need support. Every time this happens I end up in crisis and when they realise, normally too late, they overwhelm me with constant appointments until once again it all fizzles out. And the cycle repeats. I have never got to a place where I can say I'm stable. It seems to change at the drop of a hat.

Last time I saw my care coordinator she mentioned discharge might be an option, and I could just be referred again when I end up in crisis. It just seems like too much hassle, if I end up in crisis when I'm not even under them I'm even less likely to get help. It's too difficult to get in with a GP and then wait for the referral. I don't see how it would work.

I'm sorry you find yourself in this position (and sorry for going on about myself too). I hope you find someone to open up to, on here or irl. I'm on here most days if you ever want to chat about anything
