Absolutely disgusting service

Basically told my partner to get a grip while struggling with stress, depression and anxiety due to not be able to conceive children. Watching my partner crying her eyes out and curled up in a ball is heartbreaking to watch and all she needs is someone to talk too.
Absolutely shocking

The service is absolutely diabolical rang numerous times and explained things to them over and over which in turn made me worse promised over and over for calls back not one of these had actually been fulfilled rang when having a panic attack was due a call back and never came promised to try get some medication and never heard back! Waste of time absolutely under no circumstances would I ever use you again!!!
They are not particularly helpful

Autism complaint

I have too much to say to put in this little box. Disgusted in their gaslighting and incompetence when dealing with a person with autism. Will be written up fully in an official complaint.
Failing People with Mental Health Issues
August 4, 2018
I was referred to this service by my GP and have contacted them on five separate occasions in an attempt to make an appointment and/or access the service. A day after my third telephone call, I received a letter asking me to contact the service and also threatened me that if I did not contact them they would discharge me.
After another two telephone calls an individual finally called me back and stated that they would send me an appointment to assess my mental health needs. Two days later I received yet another letter asking me to contact the service to arrange an appointment and again threatened me with being discharged!
It should be noted that whoever answers the telephone requires training on how to handle calls from patients, their attitude is appalling and they evidently have difficulty referring patients to the appropriate members of staff. It is deeply frustrating and disheartening for someone who is in mental health distress. I have already lost confidence in the service and haven't even managed to get an appointment yet!
