At one point 2 years ago I was seeing a regular GP, Psychologist, and Psychiatrists and Nurses through the Mental Health Unit/Clinic at my local hospital. First, my psychologist dumped me, saying "I was too much of a suicide risk for her". But then slowly I became stable with regular medication and I didn't need their services as much. I no longer needed to see Pysch anymore and then my GP left the practise and I couldn't get in to see a regular one and they just didn't seem to understand anything I was going through.
So I gave up. I've been doing it alone. 10 weeks ago I gave up my meds, of course I gradually weaned myself from them but it's been 10 weeks of nothing. It's so hard. I wish I had someone to speak to about how I'm feeling. I have no one and I feel like everyone just keeps abandoning me.

Hello Mood_Swinger, I hope that by now the title of your post can be changed in your mind to 'I have some support through the web forums'. It's not a magic cure but it is good to talk online.
Being dumped by a psychologist for being "too much of a suicide risk" sounds like an ironic joke. What next? Being dumped by your mechanic because your car doesn't work properly?
How are things going without the meds now? Apart from the feeling of not having anyone to talk to, have you noticed a difference? It's good that you weaned off them and didn't go cold turkey, I know from experience that doesn't worj out well. You will never be abdanoned on here (even if it did take a while to get a reply to this message) so I hope you will come and keep talking.
