And it is hard...
Because outpatient services just never get there...
I get lost on a waiting list.
And when things get to crisis point
Inpatient services never get there either because they are solely focused on the issue of discharge.
So one is screwed either way.
It was a bit different when I was in a relationship. Because then there was someone else that was worried about me.
They would take what my partner had to say seriously.
Now the problem I have with crisis assessment is that I'm the one who has to make the call.
And if I'm well enough to realise that things are not ok. If I'm well enough to make the call then I'm too well for hospital.
And so I am on the borderline and people just try and shunt me off to become someone elses problem. And there really isn't a lot that can be done.Except the formal inquirey.
Which takes up to two years.
And so I really do just need to accept that.
Just accept that.Not devalue my current t.
And we'll just have to do our best.
