Hello 
I don't how many will remember but a while ago I started a thread after receiving some potentially very bad family news. I was extremely distressed and possibly suicidal. I collapsed a couple of days later due to the stress of the news and the accumulation of other events over the past few years.
I want to thank everyone who responded to the original thread and kept me going. I'm sorry for not mentioning people by name but my memory is not good at the moment and I find my old thread a bit hard to read.
I had a mental health assessment today and will get a written summary of the session through the post. It was difficult but the assessor was very nice. I am to have CBT and some extra help getting employment. The CBT will be on a waiting list but in the meantime I will be going back to the assessment centre for regular follow up appointments. This means that I will still be in the system and they can monitor my progress whether negative or positive. I have also had my medication increased and that is being monitored by my gp as well.
I am still far from ok which is why I am writing now. I normally don't have the energy which is unusual for me. However while I am feeling slightly more alert why at this hour I am guessing you are asking? I've got no idea 
I wanted to put up this post.
I believe I will get better. I am very impatient so I would like it to be sooner rather than later but I will have to see what happens.
Thank you all again.
