I hope your CPN gets in touch soon. Emma: I am not brave at all. I might still be here, but it isn't for the want of trying not to be. I used to keep a stockpile of tablets at uni and my GP there asked me to hand them over. I couldn't bring myself to give her all of them, so I only gave her about 3/4s. It was a hard decision to make to even hand those over, so handing all of them over must have been a challenge. Alison: sometimes I totally despair at mental health services.

As for the lack of care, I cannot help to say I am disgusted by it! It just goes to show how poor the Mental Health system is in this country... Perhaps my situation is someone different but I am feeling rather the same since my CPN has failed to make me a follow up appointment or even so much as make a call since I was thrown into a weekly therapy group. I expected as much but I can’t help but get a little pissed off at it.
