Hi, it's been a while since I was last here. I'm probably just going to ramble on but I feel lost and confused. I will try to keep it brief....

So I'm writing this whilst sitting at cliff tops (I am safe just now as there are tourists here). Somehow without being fully conscious of it, I think I've ended up here as my head really wants me to hurt myself today and it's like I compromised as I didn't want to take another overdose. So my head is going a million miles an hour, so I take a breath and phone the receptionist at the mental health hospital as my psychiatrist has left and noone has replaced her so apart from psychology I have nothing. I was basically told that when I called. I explained that I was at the cliffs and didn't know what was going to happen as if I leave here there's a good chance I'll feel like I have to take an overdose. The receptionist just told me to see my psychologist at the next appointment and that was it.

Can you just show up at the hospital? The ones here, you can do that...

I could just show up at the hospital but they would speak to me for 10 minutes then I'd be sent away without any change. I've previously been in hospital due to serious self harm, then whilst on the ward I removed the stitches and harmed myself again. I admitted to the psychiatric nurse that there was no point fixing me up, I was going to discharge myself and leave and do myself more harm, and they still just let me go. I really don't see the point in seeking help anymore. I feel like stopping my meds and just see what happens.

I'm so sorry that the mental health system where you are is failing... I wish they would do better and help you. Can you be safe?

I know the feeling of not wanting to take the meds. I'm having trouble with taking my meds right now too. I have to have help taking them at the moment. I can't make myself take them on my own... But it's best to continue taking them in the long run.

I really hope that you are able to keep yourself safe. I'm here if you want to continue to talk. I have PHP in a little bit so I may not be readily available but I get a break about every hour. I'll check Tapatalk every break...

Thanks for your reply, and your response was very kind. I have managed to put off harming myself today (it's 9.30pm here now). I convinced myself that the mental health team wanted me to jump, so I determined I wasn't going to, I guess that's my child part lol. On the way home I did buy medication but as you are limited as to how much you can buy here, it wasn't worth taking. I haven't slept for 2 days now, so I'm hoping o can get some sleep tonight and see what tomorrow brings.
