They've increased my depot injection by a ****e load and now I sleep 17 hours a day. How can they expect me to go to uni, urghh mental health sucks.
On a side note, does anyone get or know anyone who gets depot injections? I'm only 20 and at the clinic they're all really old, I feel way too young to be on the injection

A friend's fiance gets the depot injection. I think he's about 32 or 33
Sorry to hear yours has been increased. That must be really difficult to deal with

It's better than hospital which I avoided (maybe because of you're prayers?
) thank you.

Having some cereal bars/packets of dried fruit/bananas on hand might be an idea for when you're too busy for breakfast. Glad you had a pretty good day

Tiz getting colder and colder in London. Time to start wearing my new fluffy penguin head hat
Had a nasty nightmare about a recuring fear of mine that i'm trying to get over had me feeling sufficiently down that I missed my lecture so I could curl up in bed and attempt some better sleep. Not exactly a nightmare after that but still an odd dream. Yay! The wierd dreams are back! -_-
Feeling a bit better but i'm still in that sort of curl up in bed and ignore the world kinda mood. Probably more to do with my cold than anything else though. Feels like there's a bubble around me separating me from the rest of the world.
I don't know if I should mention the nightmares to anyone like my therapist or not...

So, the result of my CMHT assessment was basically was I shouldn't have been referred in the first place, as I am not severe enough.
I feel like such a fraud, can't stop crying now

Now, you are not a fraud and that's why: Doctors or other mental health personal are there for us to diagnose us and treat us. Our task is only to go to them, if we worry. So you are not a fraud to get there,
to get tested and then referred to the right treatment. You would not call you a fraud, if you'd go there for physical reasons and later it turns out the original diagnosis and treatment would not be the right one, or? They just said "not severe enough", not "simulating". That is a huge difference. In addition doctors are not allmighty and not all equally gifted/experienced, thus it is human. (Of course some things are just illogic.)

Surely "not severe enough" encourages us to escalate our behaviours until we're able to get help. We want help before we get too bad, not after. Ugh. I hope you manage to find an alternative.

Yeah, don't worry and then, if you proove you were right, then suddenly: severly ill. Great way to solve problems.
Same with society ...
Started smoking again. So ashamed

Bundles of treatment, to help you on your journey forward, are still available to you though. Literally a plethora options. You can access these services through the statutory, voluntary and private sector. Some within the private sector offer their therapeutic services for free (or a token payment) to patients on low income or students.

My baby sister was rejected for therapy when she was an absolute mess and her life was falling apart because she wasn't "severe enough" and I just can't understand a system that doesn't support those that reach out and desperately ask for help
It costs way too much...Don't you just love the political elite for their infinite wisdom?
FYI, this is sarcasm, just in case anyone thinks I believe this bs

Hello I am really sorry to bother you all, I was wondering if any females would be willing to complete an online survey for my dissertation. I will be eternally grateful, thanks

Female sex, or gender, or both?

It's called capitalism. If you don't tick the right boxes then there is no evidence to suggest it would be money wisely spent (value for money). Apparently, we love this concept and adore the business model. Capitalism is not there to support the vulnerable (perish the thought) It costs way too much...

Your "money wisely spent" is socialism. Capitalism is I call my doctor up and see them whenever I want for whatever I want in exchange for money.
Some good news I guess, I won my appeal so now getting work related ESA
Other thing I guess is "good" is I have been diagnosed officially with hormone problems which is why I gained so much weight and been getting more tired the last 7 years, its good as its now recognised so I can get treatment but bad in the sense I have something that can be very bad wrong with me

Finally have an appointment for intensive CBT for anxiety. My town has a system where you have to go up in 'steps', so that no-one gets more serious (aka expensive) treatment than they need. It's fair enough for people who are having like their first panic attack and just need to learn some breathing techniques, but if I had actually been shown what the steps were and what was provided at each one, I would have been able to tell them that the 'first step' had no chance in hell of actually helping me. The first person I saw was pretty much trying to teach me what anxiety is, I felt like I knew more than they did already. If I had been allowed to have input on what type of treatment I thought I needed, I would have already been seeing an intensive CBT therapist for several months, whereas now I've had a massive break from all kinds of therapy and it's going to be horrible starting up again with yet another new person.
I have my doubts that even this 'level' will be able to provide anything I don't already know/haven't tried, but I suppose it's still better than nothing.

I can't believe that the said no - like others have said, it sounds like you have really been struggling recently, and for them to say that, it's ridiculous. But regardless of what they say - you are not a fraud at all. You wouldn't make anything up, why would anyone want to fake mental illness? You aren't a fraud cus you haven't made anything up. I know it's hard to take in atm, but it doesn't mean you are fake at all.Has this thread messed up for anyone else? I can't see the last 3 posts when I'm logged in but if I log out it works.

I'm smoking everyday at the moment, so can kind of empathise. The guilt is horrible. But it's always possible to quit, and in the grand scheme of things there are worse things you could do to cope. ----
Had my first day doing psychology today (in my final year) and had a flashback in the department. But this great guy let me into his office and left me (with a friend) to flashback and cry it out and recover before he came back. And he said I could go in there whenever and he'd go away and not ask questions. I feel really drained and **** about the flashback but also really quite touched that a complete stranger was so great about it - considering that I'd never met him before, it was a really random-acts-of-kindness moment.
