So...I'm being fucked about.

Someone from HTT and/or EIS conveniently forgot to pass on my medication details to my GP. So of course when it came to me filling in my repeat prescription, the doctor looked at my notes and wondered wtf I was going on about. They've only got the details of me being on 5mg of arirpiprazole.

Now, I handed in my RPx leaving enough tablets for about 3 days before it would run out. But the GP is still trying to get it organised by contacting EIS to ask what meds I should be on. My meds ran out today!

So I'm hoping it'll get sorted tomorrow. I don't really fancy having yet another relapse. C'mon now.

EIP/CMHT/HTT and now PACT *cough*bullshit*cough*

Today I had a joint assessment with Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) and CMHT to see where my care co-ordinator will be allocated from. HTT (Home Treatment Team) seem to think I should go to EIP because I've had 'pre-domal psychotic symptoms' such as giggling while talking about my overdose (yeah that was a bit weird; I can barely remember doing that), withdrawing, avoiding eye contact, going mute etc etc. But EIP (and myself) think I should go to CMHT as they think my symptoms are more affective and to do with mood disorders rather than anything psychotic.

To be honest I'm not bothered either way. As long as I get the support I need, then I don't care. Having said that, I don't believe I've experienced any psychotic episodes/symptoms etc. It all comes down to the individual who's assessing me and what my presentation is like on the day, but I think I'm more of a neurotic than a psychotic individual.

In other news, my Home Treatment Team have now been rebranded as Psychiatric Acute Community Team also known as PACT. The most ridiculous name I've ever heard. So pretentious it hurts. And they're now 9-5, so if someone is in a crisis they'll have to go to A&E. Whoopee!
