Sorry, need to rant - CMHT refusing to be clear about anything

[CountingSheepAgain]

Honestly, they act as if it's all a secret cover-up! Is it?
They continue to refuse to provide me with any treatment, despite contact with the crisis team always ending with them saying I seem a good candidate for therapy and it seems to be what I need... they say this in a baffled manner and encourage me to see my GP to be referred yet again to the CMHT for assessment. At the assessment, the CMHT say no but really vaguely. Say it is "unsuitable". I have been to PALS, who were very nice and seemed to understand why this is so difficult, but have just got a letter from them saying they have asked the CMHT for clarity (and other issues with assessment) and been told that the letter the CMHT sent me explains everything. This is the vague letter that explains nothing and contains a couple of errors, which is why I contacted PALS in the first place.

I've even been to my MP and was advised to go to GP and PALS.

Trying not to cry, how am I supposed to get better?

Also, I can't see anyone through IAPT as I have also been assessed by them numerous times and they say I need CMHT involvement. But can't make them do it!

Sorry you are in this position. Could you ask the GP if they can explain the letter to you? If they don't understand it either they may be able to make a fuss on your behalf. It does seem crazy that everyone except CMHT think you need CMHT.

The letter doesn't really say anything! They refuse to explain any decisions. There's nothing in the letter I don't understand, just a total lack of any info.

I just despair. I'm trying to find a way forward but can't get any help at all.

Did u namechange, OP? It sounds like you are the same person but not totally sure. Just wanted to alert you in case you missed it. I'm sissy I have nothing to add but good on you for persevering. It's so hard to advocate for yourself when you're already miserable. to you and I hope you get some help soon.

Sorry not sissy!

Hi CountingSheepAgain
Are you able to tell me what area you live in? I can look for more help in your region.

There is no help. The services are really crap here. All the other charities etc are just emergency things, there's no actual treatment available. No one will help me with the things i've experienced, and i'm chronically unwanted in general.

That sounds really tough. Do you have anyone to act as an advocate? Someone who can go with you to gp again. Gp to refer you to psychiatrist. Do you have any diagnoses?

No advocate - am very alone. Have learnt I have to pretend to be fine or people leave me. Have been to GP numerous times over YEARS but he can't make them help me. There seems to be no accountability.
