Heya.

Glad the day is good so far. I hope it continues to stay that way.
I know what you mean about being tired. I'm exhausted.lol

I woke up feeling not too good so I made myself a galaxy hot chocolate and I'm sitting her watching GMTV.

Hello all ,
I'm new to this thread so please bear with me just wanted to ask if in your areas do you have the "crisis team " My husband (who im split from , but still friends) has been suffering with depression a number of years. Over the past 12 months he has took over doses and cut himself. These "crisis team" are rubbish does anyone else this so ?

He went into hospital last thursday eve to avoid taking o/d then seen crisis team at our local hospital who told him to go home and they would visit him with dr to change medication cos they think he is on wrong one they have visited him to chat but he is STILL waiting to see dr how mad is that ?

Heya and welcome. I'm new too.

We have the Crisis team here in Canbridgeshire and they are so crap that not a lot of people know how to get hold of them in a crisis and when they have they just say "It'll pass". I even heard of one person getting the response of "Well, you're still here aren't you? Can't be that bad". It's atrocious.

I'm sorry that your husband (wasn't sure whether to say husband or friend) is not too great right now.I know it's hard but sometimes it pays to be persistent. I have a friend who when she feels like she is going to O/D keeps going to the hospital until they deal with her. It has resulted in her getting a proper consultation. She was admitted to hospital though but it did help her.

Is he waiting to see his GP or a hospital doctor? What medicine is he on? Do you know the dosage? Sorry for the questions.

Hi Lady morticia,

Yes he had help before been in a mental health unit , he sees a consultant from that hospital a routine but to be honest he is starting to be usless too,just give him anti depressants and sleeping pill, sorry i cant remember what he on cos he only had them changed jan for the same reason (they said they wasnt suiting him ).

Last thursday i had him on the phone for three hours saying he was cracking up , didnt know what was happening to him etc... i rang crisis team who said that he needed to go through the system again cos he had been discharded from the ( some crisis help ) then they gave me a telephone number i gave that my husband and he rang me back saying they said the number was only for ppl to scream and shout at them they couldnt help him :rotfl:
so in the end i rang the police cos i didnt know what else to do they said they would ring him to check his wellfair that was 12 midnight. i never heard any more till 8 in the morning my husband rang and said police turned up at 3 and took him hospital .

Just sending my love to you all.

I am sorry that I have not been able to be supportive at all at the moment and I am also sorry to have burdened you all the way I have lately.
I probably won't be around too much at the moment either as I am feeling pretty low right now and I have less than a week to sort myself out before I return to work!
My Fiance's, sister's boyfriend (phew) has kindly bought me a self help book and I will be spending most of my time reading that and doing the exercises in it in the hope that it will be of some use to me. Seeing as the Counsellor failed and the medication almost appears to be a placebo this could be my last hope.

Just because I will not be around very much doesn't mean I don't care for you all, I sincerely do., but as things are worsening again I feel it is time for me to concentrate as much as possible on my recovery right now.

All my love
Dawnylou
