I've been off work for a few months with a hideous depressive episode. I am currently doing a phased return to work, mainly as they are so good that they have found me really easy stuff to do so that I have something vaguely therapeutic to do. Work have been amazingly helpful. I'm doing 8 hrs a week and it's a struggle but I do find it helpful.
I'm on 200mg sertraline which is causing unpleasant effects but I am functioning a little better, ie I am able to type this!! can get dressed, make and eat food etc. However, I am pretty bloody ill and struggling. GP is doing his best and is good. Got my referral today to see community mental health team and it's another MONTH. I know how stretched they are but it seems so long when I am so desperate. ALso, I will be assessed by a CPN before I see anyone else and I know our local CPN and he is not terribly good. I really need to see a psychiatrist with whom I can discuss medication etc. I feel there may be something far more suitable and my GP himself says this.
I feel so disappointed and not sure what to do next
