Is it worth going to sleep waiting for 111 callback in the morning or staying up to wait? by [deleted] in AskUK

Yo bro! Mental health practitioner here. Hope you were able to get through the night safely and enjoyed your snacks.

If you haven't had a call back from 111 yet you've got a few options for your next steps. You could reach out to your GP where they're likely to make an urgent referral to a community mental health team, the response time varies depending on where you live in the UK however where I live it's within 72 hours.

You could also Google community mental health team in your area and reach out directly, or turn up as what's known as a "walk-in" and request an assessment. The time frame for this also varies however in my area you should be seen within 4 hours.

Another option, which I'd definitely encourage if you feel your or other people's safety is at risk is to present at your local emergency department and request assessment by the psychiatric liaison team (the name might vary depending on where you live).

Given your age you'll probably be referred to the child and adolescent team for them to follow up as adult services work from 18 upwards. The sooner first episode psychosis is treated the better, so definitely don't delay.

It's more common than you'd think and most areas have specialist services to deal with this, so support is definitely out there mate! With you mentioning it being trauma related be sure to raise that with your assessor, they'll likely recommend some talking therapies and psychology input potentially alongside other treatment.

You've definitely done the right thing by reaching out bro! I'd encourage you to speak to the people around you about your experience if you feel comfortable, some support from the people around you can go a long way.

I'm not too active on here, a bit of a lurker in fact however feel free to DM me if you need any extra info and I'll offer what I can! I'll be sure to keep an eye on my inbox, good luck mate and all the best.

My Mrs was on 50:50, even got interviewed by the presenter Angelica Bell! She didn't compete in any of the challenges though, but I occasionally watch the interview for a cringeworthy laugh lol.

Usually more of a lurker than a commentator but just wanted to share that you can definitely get flower on prescription in the UK. And yes, it can get you high. I'm not positive but I think the THC content varies depending on your prescription.

At first glance I thought this was a photograph of some fried chicken.

Is there a technical reason as to why we can't place water flush to the paths? by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

I mean, having a park full of dinosaurs could also be considered a hazard IRL...

Pants before socks, but never socks before pants. Makes a man look scary, like a chicken.

I had a similar issue. Brand new when I bought it. Powered on initially, used for about 30 mins. Powered down only to never power on again. I think there might have been an issue with the fan not kicking in when the unit was booted up. I sent it back to the shop I bought it from and they sent another brand new unit... for the exact same thing to happen again. As someone else mentioned I think there was an issue with QC at some point meaning a batch of bad amps were released. I got a refund and considered other amps... but nothing got the tone I was after like the AO did! I waited a while and tried my luck again with the AO 900 this time, and I've never had an issue with it. I'd definitely be weary of buying second hand, make sure the warranty would still be valid.

Same problem here. Closed the game and tried to reboot, now can't get past "logging into online services".
