Toci remember you from your posts. Some one told me once some problems are so deep rooted there is no help. I Feel this is true in my case. xxx

I remember you too. I remeber how ill you were and the turn around when you got the help you needed. You can climb out of the pit again. You should have been given a contact number after your last illness. Try the social services emergency number and ask for the outreach team to contact you. Don't struggle on alone. Or camp out in your GP surgery until he contacts somebody for you. Don't give in. xxx

When you are feeling a bit better I DO think you should look for a different gp surgery. Ask around for a recommendation. My GP has a specialist interest in mental health and I have found her a great support. I see her every 2-3 weeks on a regular basis. She was also doctor who suggested COPD when I had travelled around country trying to find answers from specialists.

My problem is that I have moved and really have to change gp but am very nervous about doing this. Have strong recommendation for new surgery and they agreed to take me despite being out of catchment area by a few meters! On paper new gp very similar to current one but still nervous about changing.

There used to be a place where you could enquire about your GP in your area. especially if you wanted to change. They didn't mind if you needed to change. I wonder if you couldn't find this on the internet. I'm sorry, it's such a long time that I've used this. But you could also ask how to do this at your surgery at reception, they are non committal. Take care and hoe you get somewhere both of you.

Hi Brooke, glad ur trying to sort this out which means deep down ur willing to try sort things out, there isn't nothing that can't be sorted some things just take longer than others to fix or resolve , but u've took the 1st first which is always the hardest so well done u keep trying u will get there. Take care x Sonia x

Hi, Brooke, glad you have Dr's. appt, be strong til then and push for the aftercare you should have been given on discharge. My sister was similar but 40 + years of mental health issues. I worked in mental health and as Toci said the outreach team are very good. My sister also connected with M I N D, they have a support group that will get you out. Good luck and take care

If you need help earlier then get yourself to A & E or ring 111. Also, ask your GP about a contact number for the outreach team. Good luck, Brooke. xxx

My surgery has changed its appointment system. We can now walk in, until 11 in the morning, but you won't get your own GP. Mind you it's very difficult for me to see my own GP, she is either already booked or on holiday. I haven't seen her for ages, and I like her sensitive approach, but am denied of it. Not good.
