Need advice please (info below).

Need advice please (info below).

Some people I've already told about this, but I'll tag them again just to keep it to one thread. So as the title suggests, I need some advice please.

I saw a MH Nurse in my suburb, and no there's no one else I can see, a MH Nurse or not, where I live. I am seeing a social worker next week so I hope that goes ok, can't be any worse, well I hope not.

I've seen this MH Nurse twice, first time was rushed because he didn't know about it. Second time his whole attitude changed - he was so rude, abrupt and controlling.

He told me I scored a high score, 50 or something, on a K10 test (yes I was being completely honest in my answers), but then he said to me that he thinks I'm faking my mental illnesses. Of course that ISN'T true. My Psychiatrist (who is great, I don't have a problem with him) even sent him stuff with my diagnoseses.

Not only that, but he said that I see my Psychiatrist too much, although he agreed and is happy to see me every 2-3 weeks (he knows I have no other professional help and he told me he told the MH Nurse this), that I expect too much of him and I don't appreciate what he's done for me.

NONE of that is true - I always thank my Psychiatrist, and I appreciate him and what he's done for me, and I tell him this. He agreed to see me every 2-3 weeks, and I don't expect a thing from him. We talk about medication, symptoms, my mood, and whatever else comes up/what he asks me.

I'm so hurt and offended by this, and I feel betrayed by this rude MH Nurse, I wasn't to know this would happen. I feel bad even just typing this out and posting it, but I need to get it off my chest. This has even upset my parents.

Oh also, he called my Psychiatrist behind my back, is trying to call my GP, AND the Headspace centre I went to where I had a bad experience (turns out he used to work there). I told him I DIDN'T want him to do that, and he even called my Mum behind my back. My Psychiatrist has NEVER asked to speak with my parents, although I'd be fine if he did because I know he would ask me.

When I told him what happened at Headspace (I won't go into detail about that, its too triggering), he stood up for them and thought I was lying too.

So, my question is, should I complain? My parents think I should. I'll be telling my Psychiatrist and then taking it from there. I know he won't be happy.

I feel so hurt, betrayed and like my privacy and trust has been taken away. I definitely don't feel comfortable and I don't trust this guy at all. He's going behind my back and doing stuff, bad stuff, and hiding things.

He's trying to get my Psychiatrist to hate me and not see me anymore, and I don't want that. So I hope my psychiatrist doesn't do that.

Please help, any suggestions anyone? I'll probably just cry telling my psychiatrist because this has been so upsetting for me.

And to be honest, before I even saw the MH Nurse, my Psychiatrist told me they spoke over the phone, I said I apologise because I wasn't aware that he would do that, and my psychiatrist looked at me funny and his tone of voice seemed like he didn't like him, without making assumptions. So that in itself says something.

Thanks.

@Pollyotter yes I'm ok, I reported it to the mods and one mod replied, no big deal. I just thought I'd reply to try and help the person but the post is very rude. Thanks for asking

@Eden1919 @BlueBells just tagging everyone here who has been in my notifications today.

Tagging you all here in my own thread because I just wanted to apologise for not replying to any of you much today, I'm not ignoring anyone. I just feel so bad mentally and a bit physically too. I just feel like I'm going crazy because my mind is like 100km/h and I just can't stop thinking. the bad thoughts keep coming. I just went for a walk and had a panic attack and saw something disturbing, I won't say what incase it triggers some people.

I can't cope anymore and I can't keep reaching out to helplines because I've used them so much, especially Lifeline. Lifeline I've used the webchat pretty much everyday and they're going to tell me to go away and get sick of me soon.

I just wish I wasn't around. I'm sorry everyone.

PS - those I tagged like @BlueBells, @Angels333 & @Eden1919, just tagged you because you've been in my notifications. If you want more info about what this post is about please read the first post on this thread. You don't need to reply because I know you're dealing with a lot @Eden1919. I'll reply to everyone's notifications shortly.

My mind is just so crazy. Scared for tomorrow but a bit relieved seeing my Psychiatrist. I have a feeling I'm just going to cry to him.

Good afternoon @Former-Member

It sounds like you have had a really rough day. Please do not think in any way that you cannot use the help lines whenever you need to. They are there to help you any time.

I really hope you are able to get some relief tomorrow from your appointment but in the mean time keep seeking support from the services you have found useful

take care

@Former-Member they just tell me to go away so I can't use them. It's just my parents support, here or my psychiatrist. Everyone is probably sick of me, and on the helplines

Re: Need advice please (info below).

@Former-Member , I'm sorry to hear you're distressed. I'm glad you're seeing your psychiatrist tomorrow.

I think the webchats are there to be used when in need, so I hope you'll keep using them.

I hope you'll be safe till you can speak with your psychiatrist tomorrow.

Re: Need advice please (info below).

@NatureLover thanks. I'm safe right now I'm just in a bad dark place.

As I said to Whitehawk, the chat lines tell me to go away even if I wait a week or so
