"Mental health team"

About: Coventry And Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust / Adult mental health

(as a service user),

I have been struggling for as long as I can remember. Last February I asked my GP to refer me to mental health team for assessment.   I had multiple appointments booked and all of them cancelled.  Most recently I was supposed to have assessment in August, which was cancelled without any knowledge to me, then rescheduled to today (I only received the letter 4 days ago), but today again nobody rang me.  I tried ringing them after multiple different departments.  I was finally told that yes my appointment was rescheduled for next month.

They do not seem to care. I have been begging to be seen, to have some sort of help but they just do not appear to care. I was very upset this morning with the lack of care on their part but all they could say is I need to ring the  crisis team as they will be able to talk to me.  I do not need to talk to crisis team I need actual help. I need someone to listen and guide me which just is not happening.

I feel I am being let down over and over again and honestly because of this I feel more suicidal than ever.  I have restarted using strong antidepressants since the last appointment was just cancelled and nobody let me know about it. I can wholeheartedly say that my mental health has gone downhill due to them ignoring my begs for help.
