Depression

Posted , 3 users are following.

OK so I have suffered with depression for years but recently it has gotten a lot worse, I am not on any medication because they would react to my neuralgia medication. I want to go and speak to my doctor about it but don't want to wait till next week, my suicidal thoughts are getting worse, what can I do?

    hiya missy cheesygrin

    if things get too bad you can go straight to A and E at your local hospital where a duty psychiatrist will see you to assess your needs, he can also prescribe meds for you, you can go any time of the day or night biggrin

    also if you have a crisis intervention team in the area you can contact them, you can find out if theres one in your area by visiting your local council website.

    keep talking on here it really does help, take care missy,

    cheers,

    Well guys I'm now full of flu and guess what... for the first time since January 27th 2011 My amazing doctor has let me down sad. She hasn't contacted me and I don't really want to go into the hospital because I'm not one for wasting NHS money as stupid as I am lol. They have to be really careful what meds they put me on because of my Neuralgia medication sad I cannot believe this is happening to me... I guess my doctor isint as fantastic as i thought she was and its killing me to say this :'(

    Hope you get sorted I'm in a simiar situation only my doctors has nearly 60,000 on its books in 3 surgeries in the area so getting to see my own doctor who knows my history is near impossible. I suffer from suicidal thoughts and am only now getting help after a failed attempt, I felt so embarrassed after but it was not long before the thoughts came back! Started on new meds so hopefully things will start picking up. Its not easy :-(
