I met with my GP to talk about my mental health and the extreme reaction I was having to a stressful situation. My GP contacted the Crisis team who were on to it immediately. The team were wonderful as was (and still is) my GP. No waiting time. Everyone involved in my care swung into action to help me and the support I received was first class. I was kept fully informed and involved in my care plans including discussions around medication and short and longer term plans. The various services I saw worked well together which was so helpful. I didn’t keep having to repeat my story over and over again. I have been offered a range of supports from CBT to counselling to help my longer term recovery so I haven’t just been ‘let go’.
