That pit of despair is something you can't understand if you haven't been there. However amazing your loved ones are it doesn't stop you wanting to opt out. It is a very long & hard road to recovery. Fighting is exhausting & painful & many areas have insufficient mental health provision. xx

Hi Claire, just read your post. I had sliding scale but wasn't on pump, but wasn't given injections as well. Not much help to you i am afraid. Good luck, keep asking them questions. Lin xx

Dillinger is right, the site is great, informative & supportive. It has helped me get to the docs & ask for a referral out of area in the hope I may then be able to access out of area mental health services. Sometimes its worth trying to think outside the box - it may or may not work, but...
