Consistently having bad experiences. Turned away when suicidal, offered no support, and I feel that I am only alive because I was forcibly stopped from killing myself and only then was I admitted for two days then sent home with what felt like no support again, just an appointment quite far from then.
Encountered so many psychiatrists and doctors who I felt didn't listen. I feel that no one calls back when they say they will, and I have to phone over and over again to get a doctor to call back when my life is at risk. In my opinion it’s absolutely ridiculous. I feel as if there would be as well be no mental health care because what exists does nothing. It’s just an endless cycle of waiting lists and people turning you away and sending you in circles. Haven’t had help in the three years I’ve been trying to get it for. Feel like I'm not believed, not listened to, no plans are ever put into place. I’m just told that I always feel like this when I say I feel I’m not coping and on the verge of acting on something and sent away with a bye, see you in a month! I don’t feel like there is any help for me and am on the verge of giving up on trying to get it again.
