I have had no support from the CMHT for weeks now. And Xmas is a very stressfull time for me. Where is my support?? No instead im left to suffer in silence whilst they psyhoanalysis me with there psychological ■■■■■■■■. They can sing for it if they think im having my depot jab as well. Im sick of being taken advantage of. Im not seeing my social worker at all (last time he crapped all over my toilet anyway). I get more support from my bar. Im not engaging in any mental health services any more. THEY CAN DO ONE.

I wouldn’t go so far as to not use any mental health services at all. Maybe try and switch social workers or pdocs or whatever you need to do. Finding support at the bar isn’t a good idea. You probably need professional help like most of us here.

Dont get any support from them. He makes a big point of visiting me - where im waiting in for two hours. Spends most of the time talking about himself and then buggers off 20 mins later. Well out of order. But they soon expect me to come running when my jabs due. They are absolutley incompentant. I will buy my anti-psychotics off the dark web and have nothing to do with them. They get on my tits.
Oh man, you’ll have no idea if you’re actually getting what you pay for. Seems like a recipe for a horrible relapse. You honestly sound like you’re slipping into a crisis. Do you have numbers you can call locally for support? I’m thinking you could use some.

I would rather take the risk. Its causing me more stress with them mucking me about -with them just treating me like some “other patient” they dont really give a toss about. Bought them before. It took them 6 years before they decided i was Sz, before EUPD - when i was truly treated like crap. So Sorry - I simply do not place much trust in them.
Honestly im not slipping into crisis - just having clarity for a change. This old git knows what hes doing x
mental health services need improvement across the board
are you in U.S.?
I’ve never had a social worker or anyone visit me.
It really depends who your working with, I have a great CPN but a useless pdoc. She really helped me when I had withdrawal symptoms from chlozapine and gave me some meds that made me feel kind of better after taking them, and I talked to my pdoc about the withdrawal symptoms and he did not even believe I was having them, just ticked me off as delusional. As long as I am able to feed myself and look after my money then I dont need help is the way he sees it. The guy is useless.
No i live on the south coast in Uk. Im supposed to get a social worker visit me once a week via NHS. Im almost sick of being lablelled a mental health patient when 90% time im functional.

Buying contraband meds that could be contaminated with fentanyl or Lord knows what else? I can personally live without that kind of clarity. Look, I understand the frustration of an unresponsive health care system (the care I’m getting for a mostly failed pacer is for ■■■■ right now), but there are good and bad ways to go about dealing with it. I’m very worried you’re going to do serious damage to yourself.
Suggestion: Compromise on accepting the depot injection for now while carefully documenting the problems with your care. Go through proper channels and see if you can get changes made.

Have you thought about just seeing your CPN and pdoc instead of having social worker support?
I will take your suggestions on-board. - i feel they really dont understand me. Depot jab of paliperidone due on the 24th December - but i honestly doubt they will even ring even if i want it - cos they are so disorganised. They will probably ring me a week later “pretending” to be concerned when they have cocked it up. I garuntee they wont ring till way after christmas.
Man, I’m so sorry about this. Sending good thoughts and vibes your way. Hope you have the best holiday you can in these circumstances. Please PLEASE call for help if you find you are heading into relapse, okay?
Cheers mate.
Yes i will mate - Thank You. May not be the best - but i have a lot of mates down the pub that will support me, I refuse to relapse - i am too stubborn. Just rather Xmas buggered off for another year and i get back to normal. Im a survivivor fella - i wont be beaten x
