Nick,
Thanks for the support. I am going to give therapy a try but I have to wait 7 months before I get to see anyone because there is a massive waiting list for cognitive behavioural therapy.
My psychiatrist has pretty much told me he won't treat me anymore unless I go into hospital and then he is only going to try me out on escitalipram. I really don't see why I have to go into hospital just to try out escitalopram even my Doctor can't understand it.
Anyway I'll go into hospital just to humour him and while I'm in there try and find out how I can cut through the red tape and try and see somebody else at a different hospital. I feel as though my current psychiatrist has me hedged into a corner. My mum thinks my hatred towards him (and I am really starting to hate him) is unnatural and I know that it is but I don't rate him that well as a psychiatrist. He won't refer me to see somebody else as he says he doesn't feel that it is necessary. But I do!
Anyway, I sort of disagree with you about the suicide bit, I think it is more courageous to do it after all, all I'm doing is just sort of muddling through with the help of Zyprexa now and again, I'm just doing what I can do. Killing yourself, I think, is a very courageous and decisive thing to do, not that I would ever encourage anyone to do it and not that I'm advocating it :-)
I will take the Zyprexa when I have to and God help me if it ever stops working, then I would be totally messed up.
I'm going to print your note out anyway and show it to a friend of mine because it's sort of inspiring, it touched a nerve with me anyway.
Denise
