Psychiatrist. A 10 minute appointment to discuss me not sleeping for months, really? A 10 minute appointment to discuss suicidal ideation, really? A 10 minute appointment I waited a month on. To be told something I've already been told, to be offered no medication and advice that I could have given myself. And then the media wonders why we have the highest suicide rate in the whole of the United Kingdom when we have this type of appointment going on.
Spot the complete lack of support for those suffering mental illness from the health system.
Mr Psychiatrist, I have now hated you for approximately eight years. You could have redeemed yourself, but offering me 10 minutes is a complete joke. A very unfunny one.
I miss the experienced and caring Psychiatrist who diagnosed me, who actually understood me and who I was able to talk to. I wish I had taken the amazing help that was offered to me all those years ago, but I wasn't ready. I really thought I would be better by now. I didn't know you were telling my family it was in the years to come that things would get worse. I didn't realise you were telling them I was in for a long recovery. I'm so mad at myself.
You, Mr Psychiatrist, is what is wrong, when you combine your attitude to the whole health system, this is where you are failing. You are failing people like me. People who are asking you to do your job, and spend a little time with them. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
I'm so mad I need to calm down. I'm so sick of the lack of support and empathy. It really bothers me. Time to soldier on and not let the lack of professional support over the past few years to destroy what's currently left of my life. I still have a roof over my head, and an internet connection. I still have a desire to get better. I will repeat these phrases and learn to be grateful.
I'm so angry though :mad: :depressed:.
