One day mental health services lady came back as she said she would. This time husband was present but also this time she came along with another lady, a Community Psychiatric Nurse, my now care coordinator.
I was not happy. I had said I didn’t want to be referred to the CMHT. I felt ashamed that as a psychologist I was being seen in a service I used to work in albeit a different locality but within the same NHS Trust. I asked to be discharged but they said GP would be unlikely to take responsibility of the care of me.
I was even further into the mental health system now. The care coordinator arranged to see me again.
