Actually I am feeling pretty pissed off now and have tightness in my chest.

Saw psych on the 13th.

Rang me a few days later to give me some phone numbers.

Told her I had tried to kill myself.

She said she didn't think I would do it again.

I told her I never thought I would ever.

The next morning I really wanted too again and had to get up so I distracted myself.

said she would speak to the man who can sort out help on Thursday and ring me.

Nothing since.

My GP told me the psych service was crap.

Aw Nabster, she DOES sound crap! Don't let someone else's incompetence make you feel rubbish, PLEASE!

How are you feeling now? Have you got any friends who can support you? Can you go back to the GP?

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:26

I was that close to picking up the phone to my GP.

I would ring the gp again, make a nuisance of yourself and they will soon organise someone for you to talk to! You deserve better than someone who is crap at their job!

MaryBS · 23/03/2009 17:36

Yes, phone the GP again!

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:37

What I want to say is this

She doesn't ring when she said she would, she said she didn't think I would try and kill myself again, said she would ring on Thursday and hasn't.

Go for it girl, ring them!! You know yourself and you've asked for help. You deserve that help and are not getting it. Let them know. They won't know if someone isn't doing their job if no-one tells them.

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:45

No one at the surgery or hospital.
Rang the emotional support line first to see if that was near to her but it isn't. You can ring them and talk to them for up to 20 minutes a day.

Do you need to talk to someone now?

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:51

my breathing keeps going funny just lately when i get myself in a state about something.

Yes, are you OK Nabster? Don't forget the Samaritans! Or you can "talk" to us here, but bear in mind its public...

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:52

I know.

I think someone in RL knows this is me.

Anyone want to sniff them out for me?

How can there be nobody at the surgery at this time? There must be emergency telephone numbers.

poopscoop · 23/03/2009 17:54

Have you got a paper bag handy? Sounds like a panic attack. Breathe slowly and deeply into the bag, and your breathing rate should soon slow down.

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:54

I once rang about this time and was told it was emergencies only and to ring the next day. That time I just wanted to leave a message for my GP. There is probably someone there, just not answering.

Sorry I misunderstood that you needed to talk now. As Mary says, the samartians are at the end of a phoneline

Nabster · 23/03/2009 17:56

Thanks

I am off for my meeting now so don't want to talk now and have to deal with it twice. Thank you anyway.

Do you need the MN person who knows you in RL to come to see you?

benfmsmum · 23/03/2009 17:59

OK - take care of you!!

MaryBS · 23/03/2009 18:35

Take care. Do you want us to ask in chat for whoever knows you IRL to get in touch? And keep it bumped for you?

Nabster · 24/03/2009 09:39

If there is someone on here who knows me in RL it won't be a friend, and I don't think they would tell me.

how are you this morning nabster?

Nabster · 24/03/2009 09:53

I am keeping busy.

Feel good after walking to school and back. Put some colour in my cheeks!

Have got the washing on, potaotes boiling to make fishcakes, chocolate melting to make rice crispie cakes and after I have had some brekfast I am going to tackle the huge pile of clothes that need putting away.

Have emailed and she will ring me when she can (according to the person who has read my email.)
