Ever since being transferred to silverlea from camhs I feel like my care has lessened severely. In camhs I had regular one to one psychotherapy for around a year. Which helped a lot but only started to help manage my problems by a little. Then I was moved to the adult services were I had the initial appointments with the psychiatrist and a care coordinator. Then after that I would see the cc every few weeks, and then the person left. Since then I have been without a care coordinator for around 2-3months. I do see a support worker regularly but for anxiety provoking challenges.
I also suffer from an eating. disorder but as there are no community support and I am to complex for the haldon, I have been left to continue to suffer, its alright saying 'have some food, this is healthy etc' but that doesnt change my psychological feelings of being fat. And waiting list for psychotherapy is ridiculous, I have been waiting since September and will no doubt have to wait for 2yrs until I get an appointment, I cant wait that long continuing to suffer.
