And the CPN might not have intended to talk to me as if I’m stupid. If I was in a normal mood I would have cried it off and eventually let it go, but i feel she needs to see I ain’t stupid. And nor are those with mental illness stupid. I’m not gonna do anything but it’s definitely eating me up and it’s not healthy.
She has upset and angered me.
I met her for the first time but spoke to her many times before.
Once when I saw a pdoc and the pdoc said I can quit Abilify , I did and a month in a started feeling bad. And the CPN said start taking it again and she can’t speak to me now she’s busy. I didn’t start it as she’s not a dr and shouldn’t be prescribing
I don’t even think the woman has a clue.
Another time she said she was busy and if I needed help I should go a and e and gave me the name of the hospital. If I did not work in nhs , I wouldn’t have known the a and e dept and the hospital she told me to go to had been shut down years before.
I’m not trying to gain sympathy , only that I’m not feeling well and am overreacting. The nurse is not perfect but I don’t like being treated as though I’ve no brain of my own.
It’s the worst when you end up with people who don’t know what they’re doing. I had a psychiatrist once who at first I really liked, until she heard I wasn’t seeing my therapist anymore because my therapist kept cancelling on me!! Wasn’t my fault at all! Instead of saying I should switch to another therapist at the practice she just said she wouldn’t prescribe me anything if I wasn’t seeing someone regularly and then said I lived “too far away” anyhow. (Even though I had seen her several times before and she had never complained of me living too far away-what does that have to do with anything??) Then she wrote me down a number to a different practice that didn’t even take my insurance and booted me out and I never went back. It was awful.
