I think that you would be able to self-discharge from the MH services, but my worry would be that then you might still be left with difficulties, suicidal ideation or other things, but no help. That's why I thought maybe you can keep on raising how you are feeling with the service providers and see if you can finally get to a person or a therapy that helps you.

To be honest, the CPN calling the duty Psych completely freaked me out, I just wanted to get up and run. It did nothing to reassure or calm me down.. I think that's why I don't feel able to go back - if I can't be honest about how I'm feeling without MH services going into overdrive, then I'm better off without them.
I'm afraid I can't think of it in terms of them caring about me as a person, more that it's an arse covering exercise on their part in case something goes wrong.
