At the beginning of my mental health treatment back in 2010 I felt like I was treated as a human being when it came to my care I was listened to properly and was taken seriously however now everytime I am sent for an assessment I come out of it feeling like I'm not taken seriously and that to them I'm just a burden. It's like they have just stopped caring. They don't always listen to what you tell them i.e I told them them I no longer wanted to be here and had stockpiled my medication and they didnt care whatsoever baring in mind I already have a history of taking overdoses and suicide running in my family yet this does not matter to them.They tell you to contact crisis team if you need them but they no longer take me seriously either . I've no input for my eating disorder all I get is "there are healthier ways to lose weight" it's never been about my weight it's how i cope with stressful events but it's worrying that that was the go to for mental health professionals maybe reassessing their definition of eating disorders might help and infact I was even asked to do my own referralsAll I get told is that they don't want to see me back there again. They reckon primary care will be able to deal with things though I don't think they'd be able to deal with it if something was to actually happen and if asked in that situation all that would be said would be "we will reassess our policies and look into what happened and where they could improve" that will not save lives because lessons will never be learned and it will keep happening sadly this is why people reach out What good is a mental health team if they can't even be bothered to look after you . It's really gone down hill and now the patients are just numbers there are so many failings because they just dont want to do the job.
