I saw my GP today and finally admitted how bad everything has been. The plans. The attempts. It was such a relief when she told me how unlikely it was that I'd be sectioned due to the fact that I was seeking help voluntarily.
She also suggested in not so many words that the doctor I saw years ago who threatened to section me may have been acting illegally. It's nice to think I may never have to go through that experience again. Being lied about and threatened with the police is both terrifying and humiliating.
I've been urgently referred to mental health. I have zero faith in them but maybe they'll surprise me. After working up the nerve to call NHS24 last night, the conversation with the cpn lasted all of 38 seconds.
I feel like it's probably a dead end road but it's the only one I have and so I'm resolutely putting one foot in front of the other with dogged determination.
