...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug

Unfortunately, crappy therapists seem to be more the norm than the exception, at least in my case.
Take care hon! xx
Didn't have to pay for it no, NHS. What a load of shite though. I don't even think he was awake for most of the appointment.

I'm watching your youtube channel for more than a year now and I really, really like your videos. (Just want to mention that somewhere!) You are absolutely great =)
The story about that stupid doctor made me really angry, WHAT A STUPID MAN. That is the kind of help you absolutely don't need, because it is not any kind of help! Seems as if he didn't understand a single word what you told him. Forget that stupid man, that appointment... It's sad but true: Out there, there are too many stupid unhelpful doctors. The good ones are rare, but they exist!
Wish you all the best.
I had a visit off the mental health team guy, and he was very quiet, and just asked me questions, which I answered, and ended up crying :( - I did wonder if he was ok because he never said anything comforting when I cried, but you know, these people see so much, and to be honest they are there to listen to us. He is visiting me at home
again next week, so will see what happens then.
All the best!

I am beginning to wonder if there are any good mental health specialists. I live in a very small town, so i think we're lucky to even have a mental health clinic here, but as for who work there, they are very questionable.
Going back to 1993 now, i use to see a psychoanalyst. Basically she would 'analyse' me...usually that would entail us sitting there for 10-20 minutes in silence and her watching me....until one of us (usually) me spoke. Really really unnerving.
Anyway - that's all done now and i will not going back ;-)

Good luck with your appointments...
:)
yeah, maybe it would be easier to find a good mental health specialst when you'd live in a big city. I live in the countryside (Germany), the next "big" city (it's actually just a small city) is 30 minutes away (by car). I once tried to get some help (I'm suffering from eating disorders/anorexia), but the therapists in my region do have long, long waiting lists. Which means that you have to wait about 6 month or longer for getting some help. That was, what my doctor told me years ago, when I was on a absolutely low level and wanted "just" some help. "You have to wait about six month..." And I was just thinking "Six month...is that a joke? I'm not feeling as if I would be still alive then. I need help NOW" That was really frustrating. And I could never trie to get some help again (just can't do that...). Now, 6 years later, I'm still alive, still ill... But surviving ;-)
