I am currently suffering with acute clinical depression which is getting worse . My GP has referred me twice to rapid response and I have contacted them 4 times over the last few days . I was offered an urgent assessment after pleading with them , but the next day the appointment was withdrawn and I was told I was not considered urgent . I was offered an appointment in 3 weeks or in the middle of January . I was told that the notes written by the clinician I had spoken to stated that I wanted to be seen by cmht . I had not asked for this , I feel desperate and there is no hope . I had told the clinician that my temporary employment contract would end soon and I was now or half pay and would soon not be in a position to pay my rent . Thus facing eviction . None of this was in the casenotes and the clinician cancelling the appointment stated they were inclinded to believe their colleagues account of what had been said than mine . I was accused of lying . I was then told I would only be prescribed ssri's , despite that fact that when last ill some years ago these were completely ineffective and I spent months in hospital whilst different ssri were tried . The responses that I was given was that this had happened several years ago and that was all that would be available . I admit to losing my temper . I have never been treated with such ignorance and disrespect and am disgusted at rapid response teams attitude . I would rather die than speak with them again
