Crisis team being sent out? Do I cancel?! Seems OTT

[Nobhobs]

I'm a new mum and have been struggling with anxiety quite badly, I used to suffer from panic attacks and it's all come back post partum. I've been struggling and did well on citalopram in the past so went to my GP to see about going back on it. She wrote and prescription and asked if I wanted her to arrange counselling. I agreed.

I've just had a call from the mental health crisis team saying they'll be out to my address first thing tomorrow. They kept asking whether I'll definitely be ok until then. After we got off the phone I googled what crisis team is and it all seemed to be for people who are suicidal and putting themselves or others at risks, not really for anxiety? It all just seems an over reaction and it's making me even more anxious thinking of a crisis team turning up at my door. Has anyone else had this happen?

@bookwormsforever - because the stakes are high and because I wouldn't trust people I don't know and have never met to admit to their mistake. They might. They might not. Separately, being a new mum, I'd question my own sanity - does this visit imply that I am such a bad mum without even realising it?

@IsItChristmas A crisis team's involvement does NOT indicate that someone is a bad mum and it's incredibly offensive of you to suggest that it does.

Didn't mean to offend anyone, apologies.

To be honest people wait months years even for proper help with mental health issues sometimes the help is too late as the issues have progressed. If your doctor is genuinely wanting to help you they would mark it urgent so you don't end up waiting in the system getting nowhere I think you shouldn't listen to people saying its their worse nightmare that's them not you everyone's different take the help they offer its just the first meeting that's all and you are really lucky to get seen so quick please try not to read into it and think its sinister it really isnt its mental health terms working together (for once) to provide the help that people need And if you or they feel you don't need it you won't get it try relax and rearrange it. I hope all goes well and you feel better soon.
