My *entire* mental health team has been transferred from Riverside in Partick to the Arndale in Drumchapel.
The rationale? Too many patients in Riverside for not enough Health professionals, Arndale apparently has the antithesis.
Anyway .. I sent the flare up that I didn't want my team to change .. I haven't been brilliant recently but I haven't been accusing my Dad of trying to poison me with mercury any time in the recent past (and yes I have done o.O) but , hey, not great. Hence my recent abscence from the important HG gigs.
I'm sorry guys, I sooo wanted to be there, but honestly - you would have gotten a different bloke. [shame

Anyway .. after five unanswered phonecalls to the previous manager in Riverside asking to be maintained in the status quo, I was informed that I was obliged to attend my new assesment.
Three phone calls to one manager blanked, ANGRY phone call leading to conversation with same informing me he was passing my details onto AN Other. (I subsequently discovered Manager A was leaving the job and basically didn't give a fuck!!)
Manager B recieved two emails, one hand written letter and failed to answer three phone calls.
Result:
Today, I was informed I was not only having my shrink, Consultant shrink and CPN changing to complete strangers, but my meds were changing too.
In conformance with my new Consultant Shrink (who didn't yet have access to my full medical records) .. it was still seen fit to cut my antidepressant in half, TRIPLE my primary antipsychotic, maintain my secondary and delete my PRN (as required) antipsychotic and add fucking Valium as my new "as required".
Continuity of care people .. continuity of care .. the drugs start tomorrow.
I may be some time .. I may be QUITE some time.
