Something’s not right

I fired my psychiatrist!

I fired my psychiatrist!

I phoned yesterday and left a message that I was tired of him putting me in vulnerable positions and left some choice four-lettered words and then said I won't be back to him.

This all occurred because I've been unwell lately battling my schizophrenia again and my GP and I have been desperate for two weeks to get a hold of him. Each day his receptionist says "he will reply by the end of today" but neither of us have received a response. Meanwhile I am becoming more and more unwell mentally (at least I have that insight). She (my GP) and I are very angry at the poor service he has given me. This isn't the first time this has happened but it will be the last.

I am now without a psychiatrist at all. It seems nobody is taking on patients at the moment. I know what I did was risky but I cannot have someone one my treatment team who won't treat me! Public mental health won't take me because I'm private and private services are full.

Oh well. Hi everyone! I guess I'm back posting again.
