Still no further forward

"Still no further forward"

About: Ailsa Hospital / General Psychiatry

(as the patient),

Went for an appointment with my doc at the hospital which lasted the whole of 7 minutes for the doctor then to say there is really nothing we can do.

The whole 7 minute's I. was breaking my heart. Then the doctor left it at that as I left. the consulting room in floods of tears to then have to phone my mum who couldn't make me out I was inconsolable got to my mums eventually. Driving home still crying to tell my mum what happened. As I asked the doctor what is the solution kill myself? For the doctor to turn around and say u have been thinking about this for while what's been stopping you. So is the answer to my personality disorder to kill my self as I then no longer suffer and get the help I need 6ft under? NHS mental health team call them self a reliable team more don't give a rats ass. I have been ill for 7/8 years, still no further forward

I respond initially to most of the posts and ensure they are passed to the appropriate team whether they are compliments, observations or grumbles. It is important to make sure all issues are addressed and I try to encourage that to happen for all the posts as required.
