My GP keeps trying to refer me back to mental health services but they refuse to see me. A couple of years ago I was discharged from Bassetlaw Mental Health Outpatients on the understanding that I’d be taken back on if I needed to be seen. That hasn’t happened. I’m told they can’t do anything for me. It’s really upsetting and leaves me with no hope of ever being able to control the symptoms of this awful condition.
I think (it was never really clarified) I have been given a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (which is an awful, humiliating name) and it continues to ruin areas of my life over and over. I take anti-depressants but they don’t stop me being depressed or anxious. I had MBT but a year on it hasn’t helped. Why is there no help available for me? I would engage with services and I want to get well. I want to take control of my life rather than letting my emotions taking control of me and most people getting angry with me and rejecting me.
