Yeah I guess I could give Sams a call, that's a good point.

I just can't keep walking into the DoS with the same old problems and the same old depression that just won't **** off. And I'm sick of saying the same things over and over to doctors and nurses and whoever else the crisis team employs.
I don't understand why I'm the only person who seems to think I need a med change. I've been depressed since November, I've got worse since my meds were upped, and my depression has at best been at the same level since mid January.
It's like they're scared to fiddle with my meds because last time they triggered a mixed episode.
It's all "wait until the couselling kicks in", "wait until we have a proper diagnosis". I
had a proper dignosis before they started questioning it. Since when do you have to get re-diagnosed just because you move services?
And what makes them think that I can bear to survive the next 4-6 weeks before talking therapy really starts working?
It's all I can do sometimes when I'm outside not to just walk into traffic ffs, but they're sitting there in armchairs telling me to be
patient.

Urgh. Well, at least I was
feeling something as I typed that, even if it was only anger/indignation. I think I'm partly furious at myself for not being tired, but that, unfortunately, won't help me sleep. One thing that every doctor I've ever seen has agreed on is that I have excellent insight, so why the heck won't they just listen to me this once?
