Hello Quootie - thought we should start a new thread.

Will be thinking about you tonight. Hope you can get some rest. Could you try having a bath or something? Can really help me to un-wind.

Can't do link because I can't get on the thread for some reason...

Quick update ~ GP rung DH, he's not sending me for the recommended Psychodynamic psychotherapy, but just regular counselling. Think that's why im on a bit of a downer tonight, nothing's progressing past what it was a year ago. This isn't just a trivial boyfriend/girlfriend split, I have no idea why this isn't being taken seriously.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 22/12/2006 22:36

No problem.
Links are easy really. You should practice them!

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 22/12/2006 22:36

Hastle that GP until you get the help you need Q.

SantasFattymumma · 22/12/2006 22:40

Oh no Quootie whats happened?

I havent been about much this last couple of days so have no idea whats happened? is it something to do with yor moving date?

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 22:41

Well - he hadn't even heard of it before so im not sure ill have much luck. To be honest, im getting abit fed up with it before it's even started. I know ill get referred for counselling with another clock watcher, just talking and when I don't talk they sit and stare at you, then probably onto CBT, again... then ill give up, again... then 3 months time ill be back to get more diazepam because I won't be able to cope, again, then ill just take the whole packet, again.

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 22:42

moving date? Im not moving...?

SantasFattymumma · 22/12/2006 22:43

i thought you were waiting for a date for moving from the army?

or have i got you mixed up with someone else?...im pretty crap at remembering things about people, i think i should start taking notes lol

VPL · 22/12/2006 22:43

Sorry to hear about your therapy being changed Quootie. What about the guy that recommended that in the first place? Could you get in touch with him and ask his advice? Perhaps he could speak to the GP about why he thought this particular therapy would be good for you.

idontlikecrusts · 22/12/2006 22:44

Oh quootie. so you had CBT and that didn't help?

God, I know how hard it is to get CBT so I guess you could be in for a long wait for anything after this too?

What support do you have on a weekly basis?

x

Thanks for everything the last few days by the way, you are marvellous.

idontlikecrusts · 22/12/2006 22:45

Why is this all being coordinated by a GP and not CPN?

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 22/12/2006 22:46

Fattymamma I think you are thinking of JARM?

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 22:48

lol @ santas - not me hun!

I went private for CBT, spent a small fortune on some man who couldn't even get my name right. All I did was tense muscles and breathe.

Ill have to see GP (although he meantioned nothing about seeing him, it looks more like im going straight to wherever he tells me) and see what this letter said, and why he's not following the guys recommendations. This guy was a mental health guy, not a GP. I don't think the GP made a mistake either, because it sounds familiar to what the guy told me.

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 22:48

whats CPN?

SantasFattymumma · 22/12/2006 22:50

oh yeah. see told you i was crap....its cos your both young and pretty...it confuses me lol

but anyway, whats happened?

louii · 22/12/2006 22:50

Community psychiatric nurse

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 22:50

I spent over an hour reading the NICE guidelines on how to deal with PTSD patients, if I wasn't so polite and shy, id print them off and give them to him. Im getting mad now

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 22:54

im not really under physchiatric care. It's odd, because ive "been here before" ~ saw the NHS people, they didnt think I fitted the criteria and didnt want me to get "into the system", so went private... had that CBT and saw a phychiatrist there... diagnosed with PND (what an insult), advised not to get pregnant and to sleep with my DP (now DH) more because otherwise he'd leave me. No investigation into why I said it was hard to sleep with him. Im not exaggerating either, she said that. Im being bounced from pillar to post.
