sounds an awful situation. i saw in news that one pt was looked at by TWO psych nurses within minutes of her suicide. her treatment sounds suspiciously degraded to me. if you are in carmarthenshire area i think you do have more choices, possibly. 1) do make complaint to patient advocate in area 2) check out the service user groups there and make inquiries 3) just go to the Well...(forget name?) Centre and say you need an urgent appoit, MUST see someone soon, as you are in great distress, etc. Tell them you need it today at best or as near, as you are getting worse and worse. Try these ideas, if you like them. The advocate might help most, the patient group might offer new ideas and possible contacts, and the personal agitation can do heaps. good luck. and please don't accept it when a pdoc or nurse or whoever says there's nothing more we can do to help, when they haven't tried everything, in all sorts of possible combinations, and the fact is we are all constantly changing in many, many ways so all of those new combinations of previously tried things haven't been tried on the new person that you are now....you know???
