"Help when being completely burnt out and severe anxiety"

About: Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services / Crisis Resolution Team

(as the patient),

Suffering with my mental health for a while now. I have had severe anxiety for the last 4 months now. From panic attacks to depression episodes. I woke up one day and didnt want to be here anymore, I had been stuck in a very bad hole and thought I would never get out. I contacted my doctor and thats when the team came to my house. I was petrified but in my head I was screaming for help but didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. The team that came to my house were absolutely amazing! The support that I received was amazing, The daily contact and house visits made me really fight the bad time I was having and kept me going, the push that I needed. I could talk to them about anything I felt so comfortable. Not only did I get the support but I learned so much in the time that I had them. They would only support me as much as I was comfortable in doing. I couldnt thank them enough.

Dear Rainjs98,

Thank you so much for taking the time to post and for your very positive message. You make an important point that you had to fight and to keep going – while I am glad that you found our support helpful in doing that, you are the one who had to do the hard work and you did, it’s important that you give yourself credit for that:-) I am delighted that you are doing well and all of the team wish you the very best on your recovery journey.

Kind regards,

Dr E Gethins
