(as the patient),

I Had a referral to these from my gp as I have suffered mental Health a long time, the past few months have been getting a lot worse and my anger issues are really getting out of control. I am trying my best not to realise it and hurt someone because that is how I feel so this is why I had the referral - to be told they can’t do anything to help me at this time, and I should fill out mood sheets for 3 months then get bk in touch. Are they really taking the mick?

I’m suffering a long fight inside my own head. I have done prison after prison for violent offences. I am asking for help from these people so I can try be a better person just to be told to write stuff down on paper. I feel that services like this don't care about helping me, that’s why there is so many deaths in the UK. So many people hurting them self, or killing them self, or killing others because they just don't have the care they need.

I think these services should make room for people that actually do want to help, and do want to change peoples lives - but I know when I end up back in prison and it won’t be long away, these will be to blame for their lack of support. I hope you never end up with the these conditions that people have to live with, because you will suffer like we have to.

I am sorry to read in your post that you are feeling that you haven’t received the support you need at this time.

The reason we encourage patients to complete mood diaries in order for us to fully understand your mood and feelings and therefore this helps us determine the correct treatment pathway. However, we can appreciate that at this time you are not finding this approach helpful.

We do have a 24 hour mental health line that you can call when you feel you are needing support with your mental health and the telephone number is as follows 0800 001 4331.

We would also advise that you if you feel you need to be seen sooner to contact your GP who can contact mental health services.
