The Mental Health System SUCKS...

On the 16th December, I had a call from this lady I see from MIND called Jo, stating that she had finally got hold of my CPN at Bedale and she would explain to me when I saw her the following Monday what was said and has been done.

Jo had told me that my CPN is getting an appointment to me in the post, which I thought was brilliant as I knew I would've got it by Christmas, as I knew that the last 2nd class posting date was 18th and 1st class was the 19th.

Well.. Today is the 30th December and nothing has come in the post yet, I did receive some new iPhone charging leads that I ordered on Sunday (28th) how can something that I ordered a week later come quicker than my appointment!? Something doesn't add up, and I really do have a feeling that my CPN is doing all that she can to get rid of me.

In August I was set up to see the lady I see from MIND and I have told her over and over that I feel that my CPN just wasn't interested in helping me, and all she wanted to do was to palm me off on to someone else. Jo isn't trained to be a CPN or Pychologist/psychaitrist etc. she is a bit like a social worker, maybe? I am not 100% sure, all I know is that Jo works for MIND.

When I last spoke to my GP regarding my medication, that I spoke to my CPN, Val about my medication because the medication I am currently on doesn't work, and I have tried 5 different sets of anti depressants over the last 7/8 years or so and I think she felt that me seeing if I could talk to my CPN to perhaps talk to the psychatrist who gave me my Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis, to find out what medication would be best suited for me because of the fact that all the different ones I had been taking do not work.

Firstly she said she will pass my information over to the psychatrist, I then finally got another appointment with my CPN after weeks of calling and leaving messages getting no response, then having to get my doctors to ring my CPN that I had finally got to see her, when I asked about my medication, she then informed me that the psychatrist was then off sick but she could pass my information to another qualified person to see what they can do, and I never heard anymore from my CPN from that point, and then she never gave me a follow up appointment.

I have been having a few melt downs over the last few months, one got really bad whilst I was travelling to my aunt and uncles on the bus as I didn't know if I was still getting picked up or not, and instead of asking, I decided to take myself there. I had a panic attack after panic attacks it was a horrible experience for me.. First the bus is too busy to sit downstairs, I decided to go upstairs (and almost falling down them because having short legs) as soon as I tried getting off the bus people were coming down the stairs the same time I was, then there was loads of people crowding around the bus so I struggled to get through the crowd to get off and move =( then 2 buses came to go to my aunts, decided to get the 2nd because there was too many people trying to get on the 1st.. But then all of a sudden they started following me, and started to crowd around me again, lost my balance and fell over ='( only person who was interested in helping and making sure I was ok was the ticket inspector.. As soon as I got on I forgot where I was going, then when paid I went to walk away and there was a woman crowding round me again trying to scan her pass, she was told to get straight on it was just one thing after another!! I don't know how I did it, but I managed to keep my cool, but it wasn't till I got off the bus and started walking up to my aunts I burst into tears.. Had to hold back for a few mins so that I could calm down and didn't want anyone to see me crying as didn't want the attention..

Been struggling to continue taking my medication.. I am getting to the point where I can't be bothered anymore!!

Let's hope if the post does bring me a letter tomorrow (31st December) with an appointment, I could do with it.. If I don't get anywhere then I am going to have to find a way of making a complaint. Fed up with having been let down by the mental health system! 

T'was The Night Before Christmas...

I can't believe that it is the 24th December 2014!!

Where has this year gone!?

I have mixed feeling's this year though, I am looking forward to seeing my sister, brother-in-law and nephew for tea and for them to open their pressies and to open ours from them.

But, I do feel sad due to the amount of stories on Facebook with picture's and status' about their children opening letter's from Santa, leaving out milk and cookies or mince pies and also some food for the reindeer it does upset me a little bit because I should be doing all of this myself keeping the magic and the spirit of Christmas alive.. I do make a big thing about Santa when it comes to the little ones and my nephew being one of them as he's learning a little more about it this year which is good :)

Although there are people missing from our life, in our hearts and mind is where they'll stay.

Gotta find my Christmas Spirit in me ready for tomorrow evening when I have tea at my sister's

Wish me luck

Wishing All Of You Out There A Very Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year

<3 font="">

It's Almost Christmas....

I am kinda looking forward to Christmas.... YES I Just said that :/

For the first time in many years, I have hated Christmas, just not been very interested in it and never knew why, I did mentally block a lot of my past out of my mind, so I think it might have been down to loosing my Nan early 1996, growing up and then within the last 5 years, my parent's splitting up!

I think that the magic of Christmas just shriveled up and died in me.. My sister on the other hand, she loves Christmas and everything about it.. She's always been like it, even before she had my nephew..

Only thing I loved about Christmas was Christmas music and movies.

My Favourite Christmas Movie:

Muppet's Christmas Carol

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

My Favourite Christmas Song:

Fairytale Of New York

When I was a kid, we would get out all the old Christmas video's we had, the Disney ones and sing a long songs.. And that's all I remember about Christmas when I was a kid.

There are some 'family videos' around where my parents used to record us opening gifts and playing with them but I can look at them now and I wouldn't even remember anything I got :( it is a little sad that I do not remember much, but I blocked out so much and I don't know why.

I am hoping that this year, my attitude towards Christmas will change.. I know that it isn't going to be the same, especially since I know there should be a little one running around and learning about the magic of Christmas, and leaving milk and mince pie for santa and a carrot for the reindeer lol

Hopefully.... One day..... My luck will change!

Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

I think it might be safe to say that I have found a new song that I am addicted to this year! Don't know what it is about this year, but there are actually a few good songs in the chart which is a surprise Personally, I have found that some of the songs in the chart are crap or are just noise, and me being me prefers to listen to songs that were bought out in the 70s or 80's etc.
But this one is brilliant, it is nice that she's sung a song to help make us 'bigger girls' feel a little more better about ourselves! I know it does me :)

Rest In Peace Robin Williams 1951-2014

R.I.P Robin Williams

21st July 1951 to 11th August 2014

Now, this is something that I have found to be very distressing, something that I know I can relate to in some small way. He may well have been famous, we obviously didn't meet, but depression is something that I know a lot about what with suffering with it for most of my life.

I have to say, that it goes to show that no matter how famous, talented rich etc. people always fight battles that we don't even know about. I believe that no one knew that Robin was suffering with depression, and fought his demons daily, especially with him being a comedian and an actor. He really is a brave brave man for continuing living his life regardless of how he felt on a daily basis. But, it is a shame that it took his own life. I really hope that he is now at peace and is free from his demons.

With all of this in mind, I hope that people will remember him for the comedian and actor he was, funny and all the brilliant films he has starred in for example:

The Voice Of Batty In Fern Gully

The Genie In Aladdin

Mrs Doubtfire

Good Will Hunting

Hook

And many more to mention.

I've picked up these images off facebook to share with you all.

I was browsing Google for some more quotes of his to add to this post, but I found something extraordinary.. I had no idea that Robin Williams & Christopher Reeve was friends. I remember learning of his riding accident which left him Paralyzed, but I had no idea of what involvement Robin had with the charity.

"But in the wake of Reeve's crippling 1995 riding accident, Williams vowed to pick up whatever hospital costs Reeve's insurance didn't cover."

Balloons Are Funny...

I love this picture so much, it makes you think how weird things are!!

I never thought of it like this till I saw this image haha

Me And My Broken Heart...

Rixton - Me And My Broken Heart

This is a current song that is in the chart that I am addicted too!!

Magic - Rude

Magic - Rude.

This song is currently stuck in my head and it is driving me mad!!

Such an awesome song, I could listen to this all day every day.. It is quite strange for me to like something in our current Top 40 UK!

I am a massive 80's music fan, and most of the stuff that is currently being released is crap compared to what music was like back then - and I am only 27!!!

Have to admit, that most of the 80's songs that were written didn't contain any swear words, or wasn't about Sex, Drugs etc. 

Rest In Peace Rik Mayall 1958 to 2014

R.I.P Rik Mayall 7 March 1958 – 9 June 2014

Now this, this is something that I still cannot get my head around...

How can this amazing funny man be ..... dead??

I loved the Young Ones, Bottom, Guest House Paradiso and not forgetting Drop Dead Fred!

I got chocked up when I read Ade Edmondson's tribute about Rik,

"There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b------."

Or the picture that has been circulating facebook:

I think it might be safe to say, that this is something that will not sink in, not now, not ever!!!

Rest In Peace Harold Ramis 1944 to 2014

R.I.P Harold Ramis November 21st 1944 to February 24th 2014

I loved Harold, and it is such a big shame that he is now gone, especially within the last couple of years it was a possibility of having a Ghostbusters 3 which I would now assume is no longer a possibility.

If they did decide to do it without Egon, then they want a smack in the face, just saying.

It's quite strange, because at the moment I am watching films, and I am seeing him in things that I love and watch constantly, so he in all fairness hasn't left, which is good...

Incase you was wondering, I believe the last thing he appeared in was Knocked Up with Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen in 2007

Rest In Peace Bob Hoskins 1942-2014

R.I.P Bob Hoskins 26th October 1942 to 29th April 2014

I have been a little slow when it comes to writing out my blogs, so thought I would take the time to catch up a little bit now.

Still cannot believe that Bob Hoskins had to leave us this year, all the good one's seem to be going at the moment it is very strange and feels a little odd..

I will always remember him as Smee in Hook, not to mention Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
