Well last wk I see a mental health worker after being referred by my doctor.
It was tuff going I cried when I had no reason to. I was confident when talking about shameful things, And when talking about things that had hurt me in the past I was empty. My moods have varied since that meeting mostly empty, Saturday I hurt my arm pretty bad, I couldn't tell you why Saturday I hurt so bad. As I can't remember why I felt that I needed so much pain. The mental health worker was told of my si, at previous times along with episodes of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. She told me that I would be seeing her this week. And I'm not. I rang her this morning to see why I had not been given an appointment and she said that I want having one! I would be starting a group session at end of month for life skills!! I mean what the hell. I was so angry and my little girl was with me... I had to leave the house instantly so not to hurt myself again. Today is going to be a long day. I can feel the anger in me and I want to hurt to release the anger. I've came in here to right this to waste time before I can leave house again. I so angry because I told the worker, that I find it hard to explain to people what's going thro my head when I think I feeling stuff. Now she wants me to sit with strangers and say the same. And life skills??? I know how to change a flaming light bulb. I need to know why I keep feeling like I do? My friends don't feel and act like I do. My family don't feel or act like I do. Grrr it's just so frustrating :'( |

Can you contact her and ask for private sessions?

I told her when I met her I would find these uncomfortable.
As I find it hard discussing how I feel to family and friends to face to face about this kind of stuff. Because most of the time I don't know why I'm extremely happy. And next day depressed. And I tend to make excuse for what I think they want to hear. That's why I post in here. There thoughts in my head. No one knows me. She said she feels this would be best treatment for me. All after one 90minute session. |

So you asked her for individual sessions after you found out about the group sessions?

Yes, I would tell her again. It can't hurt and it is the only way to get what you need. The squeeky wheel gets the oil.

I spoke to her today, and she said that my case has been taking to psychiatrist and he/she wants another review.
But for the mean time the only help available is the group life skills. She said that I can refuse but there the only opinions right now. And to be patient till I have been reviewed. I want help so I'm going to bite the bullet. After all what do I have to lose. I'm still not happy about it. But if it helps me to over come at least one issue. I have to try right? |

I would like to take the credit for standing my ground. And I did ring them today but they kept passing me around and hold I got so angry and upset I hung up.
It was the mental health worker that rang me an hour later to say I'm up for review. And then I aired my views. My mum came round today she has not even asked. And has just be moaning about my parenting skills. So I've not bothered to tell her. I think I just going to keep it locked away. Thank you all for your support it means more then you know xx |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
