    They go to AA and OA, so they can't help with anything like housing unfortunately.

    Most of me just wants to pack up and walk away. Nothing stopping me now, could just get on a ferry and disappear :(

    hi feelinggood, i work in a respite center for people with mental health problems in stoke on trent. we often deal with emergency admissions and im sure there will be something similar in your area. these places are not what you imagine. call social services it wont do any harm. they will even provide different names etc. nobody will find you if you dont want.

    I can't even get treatment on the NHS, so I doubt social services would be able to help.

    feelinggood,

    Have only just seen your post, sounds like you are having a horrid time.

    Please call the CMHT, they should still be answering their emergency phone even though it is a bank holiday weekend.

    The council may be able to help, but your case will be given a much greater priority with the input of the CMHT and/ or social services.

    Keep talking ... there is usually somebody about to listen x
    Gone ... or have I?

    I don't have much to say, can't really figure out the thread so am unsure if this is about the OP or a third person... but as the others have said, you/they don't need to suffer alone.
    :cool:

    Its me, tend to talk in third person sometimes, makes stuff less scary.

    Have Pyschaitrist appointment on 6th June, so will mention things to her then, and see if they can offer any help.

    Can't really think clearly at the moment, luckily have a sofa to kip on, and maybe things will sort themselves out. Just feel so ill, pyshically and mentally, and haven't the strength to do anything about the situation.

    Don't have a crisis team or a care worker, so just got to figure this out myself I suppose.

    Thanks TNG. I'm hoping its the withdrawls that are clouding my ability to think, hopefully in a few days I'll be able to make a sane and rational descision, and work out where to go.
