Waste of time

[StevenB22]

Since my OD in July I haven’t had any therapy or been offered any. I’ve had the crisis team a couple of times but nothing more. Finally they sent a letter for an appointment with my physiatrist which was today. I went in and they said I only had 30 minutes and then they only asked about my family and not my mental health. I literally counted down every single day to that appointment and they gave me 30 minutes and a half arsed session. What’s the point.

If you were paying by private you could choose who you wanted to see but unfortunately you cannot choose. They probably did do the best they can but their advise is to keep in the crisis team and continuing on the way you do. Did you ask questions or gear the talk the way you wanted it turn out. Did you want in depth and you got summary of your condition. Maybe you can ask for this next time and have questions prepared next time???

They took crisis team away from me and put me back with my GP. I tried to talk about how I’ve felt since my OD but they just shrugged it off and didn’t talk about it. Thanks for the reply x

Hi Steve,

Sadly it truly sucks doesn't it 😞. I have been where you are and I know how much it hurts and how it makes you question everything. If you want some decent support get in touch with Mind. They have support workers, 1:1 and group therapy so it would be worth seeing if they have anything in your area.

Good luck x

Don't know if ur in the US or ? but.. sounds like u def want some help with what ur going through, otherwise u wouldn't have gone to the appt and u wouldn't be here. Don't let one bad appt crush u...unfortunately that does happen and has even happened to me ALOT.

My thought is...read more posts here in this community..look and see if any other HU communities can help also..reach out to people by private message that u think can help..then look up phone numbers for help lines..local support groups.Alot of times even if they cant help u ..they can give u info where u can get help. Its not easy but there is help out there, especially when u say u need help.

Wish the best to u....
