Original post by dipkaThat's positive that it stopped for you, how did the depression stop though? or, how did you stop the triggers? There's some things you just can't avoid.
What symptoms can you see from this? and of what? I'd be interested to know what you think.
It's complicated with Doctors right now. The truthful answer is that yes I am now doing. And, I don't know how much detail of everything else to explain but he's trying to help, and it's not his fault that it is proving to be difficult.
It started in November, the nurse at uni referred me to some local therapy service, they said they can't help because they do short term stuff like 6-8weeks and they said I need something for longer. So they referred me to CMHT, went to a assessment with them, and they wouldn't help either, basically just blamed my current issues on autism...
In between all this I tried the GP for sleep, they at first would not do anything, After ending up in A&E and a letter from them the GP did give me sleep medicine, and I've been going to a GP every kind of 2 weeks since then, this was start of Febuary. I'm with the MH GP now, and he's trying to refer me back to CMHT. Last time I went he had no news, and neither did I, so it's just waiting now. I just doubt even with a GP letter that the CMHT will do anything-like what can a GP do in a letter that the first therapy service in their letter can't? So, I am expecting to end up stuck- it happens a lot. But, I will see what happenes. I'm annoyed with this waiting because I have waited for the CMHT once already, so this is really unfair now...
I've tried all those kind of things before, I ended up in CAMHS (via many other organisations first!) because school could not deal with my self harming. They diagnosed me with autism, and then they explained it the best anyone ever has. That I self harm because I live in a very confusing world that I can't understand or have any choice about, and that once I am around people that understand me and what my needs are and so do what I need it will be less confusing and more understood and I will stop. That has never happened, so I still do it.
I can't change people not understanding me, and I can't avoid these people either.
