Hi people, i am about as low as you can possibly get. I woke up and feel i shouldn't have done. I don't want to be here. That's it.

    Hi Sam, my advice is find another counsellor!? I appreciate that this may be easier said than done, but it appears that the one you have has a severe lack of empathy. Go back to your point of origin GP, crisis team or whatever and tell them you're not happy with this bloke. They are duty bound to offer you an alternative. If you're local to Birmingham I would be willing to assist. Hope that helps.

      Hi Phil, i am going to see him again this Friday armed with a strongly worded letter. If i feel it's not right after that then i'll go.

      Hi bazza, i am really glad you had the time to respond. It's a while since i posted this message, i have discovered it is being physically ill that sparks this the most on top my mental health, i hate feeling like but since posting this i have just kept asking for help. I now have lots. One thing all of you write about is antidepressants, i have taken them before and have vowed to never again. I think doctors think they are smarties well they're not. I will never take them again, i am sometimes at rock bottom, but I will put no more pills down my throat ever. My family forced me to take them and saw it as a victory when i was assaulted over 20 years ago, they would rather dump me on antidepressants, no more. I control my life not them, this is exceptionally hard as i have assault counselling and have done for a few years, i'd rather speak to people. You make think i am being stubborn but maybe i am but it's a form of control. I wish you help, you're really kind to respond
