My social worker just texted to say she's not at work this week. I had a feeling she had been avoiding me for the last few weeks anyway. Usually we had weekly appointments, and I used to look forward to them - they were my only lifeline. I haven't seen her now for three weeks (only at pdoc appointment) and it feels as though they've just abandoned me. I really needed an antidepressant to add to my mood stablilizer, but my pdoc refused until the next appointment, which will probably be six weeks away. I feel as if I'm stuck in limbo until then, and I could have used the support from my social worker who knows what I'm going through.
In addition I've run out of sleeping tablets, and I'm really struggling now because lack of sleep destablilizes my mood. Again, I feel that the mental health team just aren't looking after me like they should be. This gets to me more because when I was in hospital they raided my home and took away a lot of stuff that I could have potentially harmed myself with. This was all done on the pretext of 'helping' me get better. Now it seems like just a power trip - they weren't really interested in helping me. I feel like I've been burgled. They just stormed into my life, took over, raided my home when I was incarcerated in a glorifiedd prison, then abandoned me. I feel as if I've been totally f*ck*d over.
