Mental Health system and follow up

[Ely_]

So I have had quite a lot to do with my local mental health teams this year. I am wondering if other people or places have the same policies and problems I have encountered. Here in CQld they will only see you in acute or crisis episodes. They see or phone you for a couple of weeks and that is it. I am apparently not eligible for case management, referral to ongoing chronic care MH, or for their dbt group. Their reasons include that I am not psychotic, I don't have an intellectual disability, and I am smart. Also the psychiatrist told me that my latest attempt on my life and self harm, would count against me getting more support.
How does this make sense?
Has anyone encountered this?

I am often aware of the intimidation factor with medical and mental health specialists. I also struggle to voice my opinion with most drs, especially if it's in opposition to them. I have a neurological condition and the hospital that used to manage it labelled me a 'difficult patient' because I advocated for further treatment for myself. Since I pushed through then and got treatment, but subsequent treatment/management has been extremely difficult to get, I now hesitate to push or assert myself in any way with anything.
