Yay!
it seems the doc who told me i was "delusional" for sugesting AS actualy made the referal? :?
Is this normal for NTs? or was he just testing me?
I found out today seeing a different doc, took my writen evidence and didn't need it! :roll:
also i changed from citalopram to prozac.

That's good news. I have no idea why he would call you delusional yet make the referral anyway. Were you informed how long the wait will be for your assessment?

no idea when, it said waiting for for confirmation as outpatient at St. Clements (psyciatric) hospital or words to that effect on the doc's computer.

i almost forgot to mention that i admited myself into A&E after ringing a crisis line on sunday.
I was in a busy waiting room for 5 hours feeling VERY uncomfortable made worse when a woman collapsed, which left me pacing in a corner.
When i got in there, i just got the usual "get a hobby" and "do some exercise" and was given 2 5mg tabs of diazepam and nearly fell over on my way home, it was 3 hours before i could continue! :cry:

How are you now? I hope you're feeling a bit better.

What was it you could not continue for 3 hours? Was it related to medication they administered?
