I went to A&E (England)

[LetMeOut67]

I went to A&E two weeks ago with suicidal feelings.
I suspect I'm sinking into psychotic depression.
Two weeks later I'm still waiting for a psychiatrist to assess me.
It's really not good enough.
Considering what I told them I'm surprised that they didn't rank me as an emergency case.
Perhaps I should have made an effort to appear more distressed.
I saw my GP on Friday and was prescribed Promethazine Hydrochloride.I'm already on Mirtazapine and Venlafaxine.
My GP thinks I need antipsychotics. I expect a psychiatrist will agree.

It's so hard to suffer like this , and be treated so shabbily when I use my little remaining strength to seek help.
I need help desperately and if I don't get it I simply must CTB. My existence is pure pure agony.

You should have an NHS crisis line you can call? I have one for my local community health team that is available 24 7, and if you feel youre at risk of harming yourself it's the best place to call. Not only will what you say be added to your files but they can arrange almost immediate follow ups if they think you're an imminent danger of hurting yourself or others. If you're unsure about the number I'd either Google it or call 111 and ask for it. If you think you're about to harm yourself, phone 999 and ask for an ambulance. If you don't want to do any of the above, call Samaritans on 116 123 for mediate anonymous chat with someone who's trained to deal with emergency emotional needs. Anyone can call them any time for emotional support

Yes they gave me some numbers including a local so called 24 hour line that went unanswered.
