Thanks, R, for being such a caring person and so good at your job. A few years ago, I was on the other side of this situation and later found that my parents had called the crisis team (about which I will soon be blogging!) and the out of hours GP. The former made my mum feel so angry and let-down that she ended up hanging up on them and the latter were too busy to attend. My dad called an ambulance and the paramedics talked to my parents and then took me to A&E. Routine blood tests proved they did the right thing. I don't remember any of this as I was dissociating, but my parents were concerned because I was depressed and then uncommunicative. I am very glad they didn't ignore me and wait for me to get bored... Cat x
