I have no energy anymore

[Baileybasil]

I have nothing to live for, my psychiatrist put me on another pill when I went in to complain about and change the medication I’m on. Now I’m all doped up and nothing is changing. My ex is sending me videos of her with other guys. I’m so sad. I told my gp I’m suicidal and all he said was lower my dose of medication and wait 4 weeks. No one cares. I’m alone. I have nothing.

Tell him it's not helpful.

Ask for another worker, a peer worker, or a nurse ro discuss Ur medication.

Say the meds are a big source of anxiety...

Just y humble opinion, but in can change everything to push a little bit more than is comfortable.

That sounds like really useless and uncaring advice fro, the social worker.

Police coming to Ur house I'd think is same as Ed.

I think he might have to make a plan with u before he discharges u? Like refer u to someone else.

[Baileybasil]

I think because I’m already referred to a psychologist from my mhcp, they let me go because all they told me was I’ll get a phone call tomorrow and set me off

I know I sound so hopeless but I just don’t want to push anymore, there’s nothing in my life that would make it worth it

Hi bailey basil

Fully understand

I was s---dal a few years back so I've been in the system

I wander if u might feel not like hospital or psychotherapy will make things worse, but rather that it will do nothing

And then ull have to return to a situation that is unchanged, after making effort. The disappointment hurts.

However, u seem hopeful that medication will work, but nt therapy ?

Without hospitals, therapy etc are there other spaces u feel comfortable.

Yes, it could be that they are discharging u to Ur psychologist.,

I did not know u had a therapist but knew u had a psychiatrist.

Do u think they may contact Ur therapist or follow up more?

I was also wandering if it might be so,eone else who calls this weekend? These guys usually work in rosters...hopefully this unhelpful social worker won't be rostered on? U may get someone else.

I think I had about 5 diff ppl call me, it was annoying I guess if I lied someone and then the next day it was someone bad

I'd say about 45 percent were great, 10 percent average, and the rest, same as the one u described, did not help or listen. Some even made me feel,really stupid, and also made me feel that because I had a gp I worked well with, that I'd be fine to just speak to him going forward, and didn't need their help.

This is the psychologist I can’t see until march, I haven’t met them yet

I feel like my mental state is only deteriorating and my energy is lower by the day, honestly I don’t know where I’d feel comfortable, I don’t feel safe

Yes I’m apprehensive because I don’t want to go through the system with nothing gained, up until this point everyone I’ve seen in regards to my mental health has not been very helpful

I guess because I assume meds don’t require effort, they work passively in the background and I’m so low I don’t brush my teeth let alone take actions to better my health

I understand.

I also saw many unhelpful mh practitioners.

After my su---de attempt I had a useless visit from the catt team, like u describe. They did nothing. Gave no guidance or help.

So I did not enter any treatment for mh for 5 years after, because it was so bad when I'd

[Guest_1643]

Hi bailey basil, I, sorry u don't feel safe.

It's scary to not feel Safe or comfortable where u are.

There are ppl here who care, and hope to show u that Ur worth caring about.

Hello Baileybasil, I join Sleepy when I say after my attempt the hospital didn't inform my psychologist or my GP and a local GP had visited the hospital that night and said he could help me and although I wasn't too fond of his principles my wife suggested I visit him once I was out.

I did that and the first thing he said was I have to give up the alcohol, didn't ask me why I was drinking and said my wife will end up divorcing me, which did happen, but I never believed it, those were the first things he said to me, that's when I closed down and didn't hear whatever else he said.

It's very important that a doctor listens to what you have to say and it's also imperative that your doctor/psychologist be informed as to what's happened, sure everybody is busy I appreciate that, but what we have done certainly needs to be emailed to those we people we are visiting.

Take care.

Geoff.
