Had A very horrid experience today with a advice centre which I approached about rep at tribunal. It seriously got me down.

Have you been to your GP?

I'm reluctant to say this just in case but it is getting ridiculous now!

Is this thread one big wind up?

Or is there some reason you don't want to help yourself?

Hi,
I am sorry about your bad experience with the advice centre and I hope the Crisis team are more helpful.

Are there any other support organisations that might help with your appeal re ESA? I am thinking of MIND(who I have found very helpful) or Welfare Rights?

Best wishes,
Muirbabe

ps I came across this site on the net and wondered if it might be of any help (have no personal experience of it so be careful) mentalhealthforum.net

Im not 100% sure about the crisis team but maybe if not anything else they can help with my problem of feeling suicidal.

Are you sure it is the Crisis Team? They don't come out in a few days, that defeats the purpose of being there in a crisis. Have you even been to see the new doctor, or can your suicidal feelings wait a few weeks?

I'm with bestpud on this, something is not ringing true. If you are truly suicidal, you should present yourself at A&E. If you are able to wait a few days for a MH Worker to visit, or a few weeks until your GP is back, I would seriously question your liberal use of the word suicide.

The problem with saying that you are suicidal when you are not (and only you can decide if you are) is that, when you do genuinely feel you have reached the last straw, people will have stopped listening.

This is what I was advised to do by the police too.
