Last Feb I attempted to take my own life. The care from the crisis team was exemplary.
During the year my mental health didn’t improve and I continued to feel increasingly unwell. I have made calls to the crisis team in that time. After Christmas I became very unwell and sh became a coping mechanism.
I called the crisis team again and this time yes I felt listened to but the advise I felt was not what I expected to hear. I was advised to seek marriage counselling. I didn’t feel that was appropriate.
I went into crisis during a very difficult week and called the samitans who I felt listened and did not judge my marriage.
