"Awful experience every time"

About: Spelthorne Reablement Service

(as a service user),

I am now on my 3rd referral. Every time they say I have depression and anxiety. Myself and GP cannot believe it. 

Yes I have low depressive states but I also have a lot more manic symptoms with impulsive behaviour, sudden happiness/sadness, feeling confused, angry and aggressive moods, moods changing constantly, no concentration, tried to end my life 3 times in a short space of time. A staff member said to me that one way of attempting to kill yourself is not as easy as another which I thought was inappropriate.  

I am in complete shock these people call themselves medical professionals.

I get no phone calls asking how I’m doing etc. just straight to social services. Whom have said I am no threat to my children or others just to myself. I wish my GP could just diagnose because we both know it’s bipolar disorder. But I can’t get that diagnosis from this place as I haven’t jumped off a bridge or in front of a train ruining someone else’s life for killing someone. If I wasn’t so mentally ill this place I feel would be laughable. 

Back to my 4th referral from my GP it is.
