Erm...can't I just say you're right?
Got my appointment through to see the mental health response team. 16th Feb. Not going to hold my breath, I've seen her before and she's one of them who told me I wasn't ill enough.

Can you ask to see someone else?
I don't know. They have far less options with me now because I've tried so many more ADs and I'm in counselling. I'm going to take my mood diary too.
Struggling today. I've already bitten my mums head off just trying to get in the lift to the first floor at the hospital! I've been awake since just before 5 again, I'm very agitated and wound up and feel ready to snap

If you don’t feel comfortable seeing her you should be able to request to see someone different and you don’t have to give a reason
Sweetie, if they can stabilise me with meds, they can stabilise you. It takes a lot of different meds to get there and then I have my ‘maintenance level’ of lithium plus 2 ADs plus pregabalin for anxiety plus diazepam prn - they can add in the others when I’m in crisis. Do you see what I’m saying? Even my maintenance meds are more than most people are on at their worst. If they can do this for me, they can do similar for you.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I just need someone to look at me and say this has been going on for long enough now, we need to think outside the box. Paroxetine has been about the best AD I've been on and that only really takes the edge off, it stops the constant thoughts of wishing I wasn't here or wanting to hurt myself but my moods are still really unstable. I have a constant urge to spend money on stuff I don't need, which is getting harder to ignore.
I'm just tired.

I can totally relate to the spending urges. Anything to make you feel better. Since my recent financial restraints I’ve been trying to find other things which aren’t too destructive to get my fix instead.
I agree, ask to see someone different...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
