I have BPD, anxiety and depression. I felt my mental health deteriorating around Christmas but battled on without seeking help. A couple of months later i couldn't cope and contacted my GP, who rang the Mental health home team. I was seen straight away, and with the lack of beds in hospitals i agreed for the home team to come out every day.
I can honestly say they saved my life and every single one of the nurses helped me. Talking about your thoughts when you're mentally unwell can be hard. The saying "Its ok to not be ok" is so true. I would advise anyone who doesn't feel that life is worth living and can't get a bed in a psych ward that help may be there with the Home mental health team.
