I’m quickly going under

I can feel it and it’s starting to seem that there is no way out of it, well, there is one but I’m not quite there yet, but I wonder if soon I might be?
I was put on quetiapine in April after a rapid response assessment. I was meant to have a 3 month follow up which never happened. Last week I suffered a big relapse, tried to call MH team and was told I’m no longer under them, I’m under the trauma team?? They didn’t know what that meant and neither do I. They told me to go to GP. GP signed me off on sick and doubled the quetiapine ... been on double dose for 4 days and starting to feel like I’m on a downward slide with no brakes. Every day I feel worse than the day before. If MH team say I’m not under them, nobody knows who trauma team are and GP is pretty powerless to do anything ... what now? I feel totally abandoned and lost. I need help tomorrow but there doesn’t seem to be anyone there?!

if your that bad honey call 999 or Samaritans, there is not enough support out there for MH, you need time for the drugs to get into your system, contact wellbeing via NHS website, its a bit of a process but the sooner you contact them the better, have you got any family support? be as honest as you can to get the very best help, treat yourself kindly and try to do the things you enjoy, set your self a little goal each day, even make a list of what you want to achieve no matter how small, you will come out the other side, being on here proves that as your asking for help, so well done brave lady, sending hugs x

I wonder if they meant crisis team rather than trauma team? If you Google crisis team and your city name you should find a number. Otherwise phone 111 who can hopefully point you in the right direction.

I hope you're feeling better soon.
