Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8

I think they link to Acute Care...

My experience has been underwhelming... they used to do homevisits and sit with you, but not now...

You don't even want to get me started on Acute Care Teams. I've been in touch with two one in Tas and one in Vic and they both sucked @Kyle1

@Birdofparadise8 yeah. That's my summation too ... just didn't want to say it outloud

I stayed away from the house so I didn't have to talk to anyone @Birdofparadise8 . Then I'd go home and go straight to my room because I was 'tired'. But really, I was depressed, not tired. I spent my time sitting at the beach or in my car crying for hours.

They do nothing @Kyle1

I had a chat with one on Thursday, and they told me to keep doing what I am doing, but if it was working why am I sitting there with them?

Ah, okay, @tyme did it take you some time to realise you had depression?

It has taken me about 4 ish years to work it out fully and 5 to start getting support for it. I had it on and off in high school and college but didn't fully know till last year.

@Birdofparadise8 i spoke with them 4 times this week. One guy basically told me to just change my mind!!

The other occasions I get palmed off elsewhere... if it wasn't so saddening, it would be a joke.

It really sucks how they are supposed to be there to help, but they do the exact opposit @Kyle1

Yeah. And they look at you like "well, what do you want us to do"?? @Birdofparadise8

And I'm choking inside: Are you kidding me right now? ....

OMG, yes, like it's literally their job to help us. Or they will say have a hot drink and go for a walk and you won't want to suicide but that is definitely not the case @Kyle1.
