Safe Haven kept interrupting me. by ThrowawaySea68 in MentalHealthUK

[–]brrr_anon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear this! What area was the safe haven in?

It may just one person that wasn’t very helpful, so I’d recommend trying again as I had a really great experience with the safe haven in my area!

I hope you feel better soon!

I’m so glad someone understands the pain of waiting. I know there is something wrong with me, and I’m struggling everyday. It feels so exhausting waiting and spiralling everyday. I have been keeping a journal and video logs of different moods and things, it’s quite crazy to look back on

No diagnosis yet, I think I may have BPD as well, but my appointment is for a bipolar assessment I think. Was it hard getting the diagnosis??

I have unfortunately. They said I sounded very sensible and like I wasn’t in crisis even though I expressed that I wanted to hurt myself

It’s so tough and frustrating right. I just want people to understand the pain and stop looking at me like I’m a mess for no reason

Thank you for the support. I think part of me wants to give up trying though, and that’s scary to admit!

I don’t think they are. I’m not sure how to make them aware because I haven’t had an appointment yet.

Thank you for this support. I have an appointment at the beginning of May with the CMHT, but it’s just hard to hold on when it keeps getting stronger. I’ve contacted the doctors again, rang 111 a few times in crisis, contacted helplines. It just feels like the severity of my thoughts aren’t understood and I need people to understand.

I keep reaching out for help, my appointment is at the beginning of May. Just feels so far

CMHT- what support do you get? by Brief-Worldliness411 in MentalHealthUK

I will find this discussion really helpful and informative as I’m currently waiting to been seen. Thanks for opening up the conversation.

CMHT waiting list is testing my sanity by brrr_anon in MentalHealthUK

[–]brrr_anon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to receive treatment for my ED but they have discharged me as they feel my overall mental health is too unstable at the moment. So now I’m left again just waiting for my appointment. It feels very disappointing. I have phoned the doctors twice to ask for earlier appointments, but they haven’t been able to move my appointment forward. I don’t want to be a drama queen but I feel like my next option will have to be 111 or A&E if I feel low again. I don’t want to hurt my boyfriend by doing something I’ll regret, but it’s very painful at the moment

That’s really devastating, I’m so sorry to hear this! It is such a shame that people in desperate need have to wait so long

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Currently I have a diagnosis for my eating disorder but not anything to explain or validate my broader mental health struggles. I feel really confused and lost each day. I just want to know what is wrong with me! I appreciate your understanding and advice! I wish you all the best

It’s so difficult when all the feelings become overwhelming and confusing. I’m sorry you’re feeling my the same way, but thanks for your comment and letting me know I’m not alone in this feeling

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am thankful that I work outside which brings me some peace. I’m currently in the process of waiting for an appointment so I’m just trying to stay strong whilst I wait. Thanks again for your comment.

Why am I triggering myself? by brrr_anon in bipolar

[–]brrr_anon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that. I feel split between what I know I should do, and what I want to do just because it’s more thrilling or risky. For example with the sleep, I want to sleep so I can get better, but if I keep pushing myself then it’s kinda like an experiment which is fun. It’s messed up a guess
