I met with a psychiatrist who told me to 'look online'with regards to my EUPD diagnosis that I had only known about for 5 months despite being diagnosed (by St. John's Hospital, Livingston) 4 years previously. Never even had a second appointment with this person.
According to a CPN, I was 'getting a bit ahead of myself' receiving private EMDR sessions (which the above mentioned psychiatrist was fine about), whilst waiting for the Mindfulness group & Emotion regulation group commencing.
If I waited on that centre for any support I would still be in the same position I was when first referred- probably worse.
Another staff member just liked to brush off my concerns or talk about my ongoing access to their care whenever I came in to appointments. I can still remember the uninterested tone when they went through the checklist, self harmed or had any thoughts of self harm or suicide? Surely if you're dealing with BPD/EUPD people that is one of the diagnostic symptoms they have, but are threatened with - 'if you self harm or try to commit suicide we can't help you' line. And barely there & they were getting ready to leave.
Before Christmas there, I had to find out from my social worker that I had been discharged from your services, you did not even have the courtesy to send me a letter or an email. The same happened with my first appointment - I mysteriously did not receive a letter for that either.
Still struggling with EUPD symptoms. A disgrace in treatment of patients as in such a severe lack of.
