Have you ever lost your counsellor, social worker, physicaitrist, key worker etc!


Question: Have you ever lost your counsellor, social worker, physicaitrist, key worker etc!?
How did you feel!?

I was seeing my counsellor for nearly a year and was still only learning to trust her in many areas!. In recent weeks I have been struggling I would have rang perhaps once or twice a week!. Last week I was in contact with the home treatment team who only spoke to me on the phone and told me to go take a tablet to calm down and that they would get my keyworker to ring the next day- therefore she would ring me (not my choice but home treatments), all I was doing was doing was ringing home treatment as I felt a danger to myself!.

On wednesday this week I tried to contact my key worker, as she had told me to contact her later that day!. I was told she was no longer my key worker, i wont ever see her again (psychiatrists choice) and that I had no right to an explaination or to say goodbye an dthat I would be given a new key worker!.

I was already on the knife edge and this sent me overboard!. I don't think I did anything wrong, I wasnt out of order ringing when I deseperately needed help, I wasnt pestering her or being in anyway out of order and yet my psychiatrist has punished me for asking for help (mainly from home treatment)!.

I am not a bad client, I am curtious to people, always make my appointments, do whats right for me etc!. The psychiatrist who seen me in hospital after my overdose said that even my key worker seemed shocked!.

I feel crushed and please dont give me a lecture about being attached because unless you have seen a counsellor/key worker/psychairts etc fora long period and trusted personal information with them you will never understand what its like to loose them, never mind to loose them without any notice!.

I have borderline personality disorder & depression and I feal rejection very strongly!. I feel crushed and like an awful person!. Did deserve that!? only a few weeks ago my psychiatrist told me nothing could be done to help me and that hurt so much but I can't believe he has done this to me!. It's not the right decision and I dont feel I want to see anyone anymore because I am too afraid of this happening and to trust and be hurt which continuously hurts!.

I'm so upset

That happened to me just a few weeks ago!.!.!. I was seeing a worker who was so great, i could really speak to her!.!. i opened up about so much stuff and let her in!.!. then i found out she had just been a student and she had never mentioned it to me!.!. its like i was some kind of guinea pig for her to learn on!! Its really hard when that happens but you just gotta remember you are more important and not to take it personally ( i have bpd too so i know thats HARD) but try your best!.!.!. and dont ever feel awful and no you didnt deserve it!.!. she/he should have explained their reasons to you!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If I ever had any of those I would be very pleased if I lost one even better if I lost all of them, just a load of interfering busy bodies all of them, most of the time they achieve nothing other than a crutch for the losers in life who will not knuckle down and work there way out of their problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That sounds a bit tough and it is sad your psychiatrist said there is nothing to be done to help you!. I am not sure all psychiatrists etc!. would agree with him!.

Borderline personality disorder can be treated or alleviated with REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) it just takes a lot longer!.

There are lots of interesting titles by an author called Windy Dryden, eg!. 'Overcoming hurt', 'Overcoming shame' 'Overcoming depression'!. I know someone who had to stick at it for years, but he made it in the end!.

I think it is a bit tough to not get an explanation and maybe insensitive on their part!. But that doesn't mean you should take responsibilty for it, it doesn't automatically mean you did something wrong!. Maybe you will be able to talk about your feelings with your next keyworker or even change your psychiatrist if you feel he/she is a little insensitive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm going through something like you are!.I have bi-polar depression!. My psychiatrist of 15 yrs!. retired!. He did let me know well ahead of time so I could get used to the idea and he also found me a new psych!. that he thinks will be a good personality match!. I can't believe your psych!. told you that!. I would definitely find a new one and get another diagnosis!. I also have a wonderful counselor and can't imagine her doing what your key worker did to you!. I think the best thing here also would be to get a good counselor to go to!. I understand how attached we can get to our health care workers!. I cried for days when my psych!. retired!. I'm not familiar with a key worker but I'm assuming it's someone you can call on the phone when you need immediate help!? If you've overdosed in the past you really need the help and teamwork of a counselor(I'd look for this one first you really need to talk) and a psych!. (second on the list but just as important) because there is/are things to help you and you deserve it!. e-mail if you'd like!. Peace and strength to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, i cannot give you an answer to what is happening but i can let you know that you are not alone!. I have been seeing my nurse for nearly a year and although i have not lost her yet i can feel her moving away from me, if you understand what i mean!. I know it will only be a matter of weeks before she will stop seeing me and 'pass' me on to someone else!. I also have fear of rejection and when she told me she can no longer help with my cbt i took it as rejection and i felt so many emotions towards her especially hate!. The only thing i can say is keep asking for help, you know that feeling this way is not right and you have to keep asking for help!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
