and this is on Darlington PCTs website...
For those with severe mental illness, a Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team has been established to offer urgent assessment and treatment out of hours. The service offers a viable option for those who would otherwise need hospital admission, which for many, can be a traumatic event. The service will continue to be improved and evaluated over the next few years, with links to NHS Direct and to GP out of hour systems. A mental health helpline has also been set up for out of hours support for patients and their carers.
The freephone number 0800 0857027 is open from 5pm to 9am Monday to Friday and 24 hours a day at a weekend or bank holiday. The line has proved popular, so do try again if you find it is busy.

yeah i have got their number - thats mental health matters. But the crisis resolution team have stopped taking calls from people and only help when the hospital have instructed them to. So i would have to go to hospital and ask to speak to them and hope they help. i did have their telephone number but its no use when they dont accept calls from anyone now.
Just taken meds/painkillers/antibiotics so should be able to go to bed in half hour or so. Yeah!!! Means ive survived the night.

Sounds familiar here in Manchester they used to talk to any one in crisis without a referral out of hours until 2006 at least , but now its only if you have left hospital in last week or so...
Its happening every where its cost cutting and also means people get missed ....its bllod y awful..

cpns are so bloody pointless. ~Mine was working yesterday but never rang me when she should have so expected a call today only to find out she is off sick (bearing in mind she is actually standing in for my own cpn who is on long term sick leave) so said i needed to talk to someone and saw duty cpn. He was awful. I hated talking to him and didnt feel very good after seeing him. He just doesnt understand. Noone does. Tried explaining about voice in my head and he made me out to be lying. Just felt like the whole thing went terribly wrong. He is leaving msg for my cpn to ring when she back off sick to give me appointment. Starting to think what is the point of seeing them. They dont help. Might as well do it on my own.
Wrist hurting so much tonight. Getting annoyed with fact i cant do some things because of the way they have bandaged up my arm. I cant bend my wrist.
Wanting to s/h still but trying not to.

cpn STILL not rang me. So bloody useless.
Rand childrens social services this morning because phil wont let me see jack as he wont supervise so asking them for help. They were involved with me and jack before i lost custody of him and hey gonna get details up from then and someone is supposed to ring me back but not heard from them yet. Hopefully they will ring tomorrow.
Also rang solicitor to get ball rolling on divorce (was put on hold when we were thinking of getting back together again). Hopefully i can then close that part of my life and move on.
Had to force myslef not to go into morrisons tonight to buy blades. I have such big urge to cut again. But i need to fight it.

please please someone take these thoughts out of my head and please take this voice away. I cant stand it. I really want to cut so badly and feel that i need to do it just to make them go away. I am such a failure. I am wondering what the point of life is. I hate mine and i am sick of being alone.

i dont know if i can beat it but am trying. Its so hard and the thoughts and voice so bad its hard trying to fight them. I dont wnat to give up but at the same time its the only way to get some peace in my head. Taken my meds but they dont seem to be making me sleepy - typical! I feel alone even though i have so many friends online. I just want to cry.

Hi Shell
Sorry wasnt around last night - I really hope you managed to get through without hurting yourself. Has your mum still got all the blades you gave her??
How are you doing this morning? Are you ok??

really let myself down. Bought more blades and cut my leg tonight and had to go to a & e. Horroible people - they put staples in this time. I hate staples. I should have really tried to fight it more but couldnt. I had to do it. At least i can go to bed and not think about how and when i should be cutting myself coz ive already done it.

Oh babes I am so sorry you ended up back in a &e. How are you feeling this morning. Its just a setback. Give the blades to your Mum and start again.
You ok today?
