I was under an outpatient psychiatrist for borderline personality disorder (or bipolar - no one could agree). Over a year I had four different clinicians. Finally I was allocated a permanent one, but was unable to attend regularly due to agoraphobia. I asked several times for help with this and for a CPN to visit me at home.
The psychiatrist said that no one would visit me at home. When I said that I felt I was getting nowhere because of the breaks in my care, they agreed and discharged me.
Now I am jumping from one crisis to another and see no point in asking for help. After all, my agoraphobia has not magically disappeared.
