Attended appointment this morning with duty worker from local mental health team in my area.
The guy was a complete pratt. He asked me if the medication I was prescribed only last week was working. Told him I've been taking it for less than a week, so what do you thing Einstein?
He then asks if I am having suicidal thoughts. I answered yes, but that they are just thoughts. He then asks if I have made plans to end my life. I had to muster up all my strength to not smile. I replied no.
It gets better... he then asks me, "why have you not ended your life yet." His exact words not mine.
This conversation took less than 10-mins. He said "I won't keep you, just checking in as the consultant psych requested this. He gave me the contact number for the office and told me to phone if I was having suicidal thoughts. Took the piece of paper with number.
When I got outside the building I handed him the piece of paper back and walked off. Like I need it. Bart you are a total prick!
