Recent update since I last posted

Well since my last post was wrote roughly 6-7 weeks ago, since then I've ended up in the emergancy room over night, have lived with my mum since coming out of hospital, I went from manic to depressed and now I'm having mixed episodes, I've read all my true life bipolar stories books (roughly 10 of them) and now feel ready to go back to my own property and be with my four cats again full time. Although I'm concerned about going back to my flat because the psych nurse I saw at the hospital recommended I come off my Quetiapine 300mg and he would get me into my mental health clinic within a week, well I'm still waiting since he discharged me from the hospital. So I'm not medicated, my flat is a mess thanks to my cats going crazy, but can't stay with my mum no longer otherwise my older brother will cause me to crack again as he always trying to have arguments with me then blames me for starting them which I hadn't done. Also if I go back home it means I will not eat again, yet mum only just got me to start eating little but often. Don't know really what else to say or even what to do for the best, I just know I can't keep being with my mum and stressing her and worrying her so much anymore as her health isn't the best as it is.

Can you get in touch with the Psych nurse and be persistent about getting into that mental health hospital or see a pdoc on an emergency basis to get youself some medication? Good luck.

Unfortunately I can't due to not being a regular at my hospital

What do you mean you're not a regular at your hospital?

The psych nurse I saw at the hospital isn't a regular there, but I am.

Sorry for all you are going through.

It sounds like the recommendation made by the psych nurse might be noted in your discharge plan. Maybe someone else can help you?

Maybe make a call to the clinic for an appointment so you have one scheduled, should the psych nurse/hospital not be helpful with this.

Stay well!

I have phoned the clinic many times and keep getting told they trying to sort out a new psych Doc for me to see as I refuse to see the one they wanted me to see as she was the one who made me worse

That makes more sense, if you're having problems getting an appointment because they don't have a different doc. Good luck, hope you get to see someone soon.

What coping skills are you using meanwhile as you wait to see someone ?

I don't have no coping skills and have turned back to alcohol to help but now starting to see different things that no one else can see

Can you see a general doctor or a primary care doctor?

Yeah, that sounds like a quick route to crazyville. I'd suggest going back to the hospital.

Can't see either, my GP won't do anything unless the mental health clinic tell him to do it
