Ok, so i felt really wobbly yesterday. And it got me thinking.A lot of the time, i a getting really stressed out with trying to sort out my care plan with CMHT. The fact that I havnt been able to get any real help from them has been dragging on for nearly 2 years now.Im due to move to london in a couple of months, and im still waitng for a referal to the eating disorders service. Noone bothered to call me to tell me my cpn was off sick today, unti i got to my appointment, where they told me they couldnt call me cos they didnt have my phone number! oh fuck off!if your gona lie, at least make it plausible, like, i dunno, the building exploded or something.but i refuse to believe they dont have my number after 2 years.and they called me last week.
I got through last night by telling ymself i was seeing my cpn today and that would help.Bt that didnt happen, and i ended up phonong out of hours, and talking to a totally brilliant nurse, who is just fab. and she was like, well, vics, they do nothing but piss you off.why not just discharge youurself. so i thought about it, and the home treatment team thought about it, and i rekon theres something in this.
So im going to discharge myself from services. and i can phone home treatment and speak to the people there that help-and not to the people that are obsesses with hot baths, milky drinks and sodding playdough. cos im not doing this anymore.Ive been waiting long enough for them to stop making excuses as to why they cant see me.and enough is enough.
so its going to be me, myself and I.
and surely, it can ony be better than the crappy excuse for a mental health service down here.

Woooop! Go assertive Vics!!! The rubbish crappy CMHT team should really go and get some training...they sound more like toddlers than professionals. Also do you think London will have a better service? I think it's more likely they will...I have my fingers crossed!
Sooo I told that boy that I just wanted to be friends...it's allll good, we are still meeting up, I'm just relieved he knows!
You are just TOOOOOOO amazing! And I am SO excited to meet you in St Ives :)

Sorry your CMHT are so crap. Before you discharge yourself, do check that you will still be able to access HTT though, as in some areas you can only access them if you are under a CMHT. Also, if you need them to do a referral to London services then it might be worth staying under them, even if it is only nominally, as being referred into London services via a GP, would take longer than being handed over from your current team. Basically there may be practical reasons to remain under their care, even if you pretend you aren't and never actually see them. x
