can anyone advise me what to do about my mental health ( care) situation
i've not had great support from the mental health services throughout my history of having mental problems and in the past, me & my mother have had to get a mental health solicitor involved to challenge the mental health services legally about my package of care, because at that time, they were't upholding my care requirements - because i'm still under a care in the community order, from when i won a tribunal in 1999 to get released from a psychiatric hospital.
and we've had to fight to get the care i deserve and are entitled too, and it has been an unbelievable hard fight just to try get that.
so for the last year or so, i was assigned a new care coordinator, i didn't trust her at first, because i suffer paranoia and are suspicious about everybody a lot, suspect the system is plotting against me....but my loved ones and elderly mum have been speaking to this new care coordinator to support me, as backing....and they were telling me they feel this care coordinator is doing her best to help, to trust her, because she's doing everything she can to help sort out my care.
but recently, we've had a turn for the worst, this care coordinator has basically backtracked on our agreement about my care package, she has taken a hard stance towards me...deviated from the original agreement about what they said they would do....double crossed me basically....and have placed all these unrealistic harsh expectations on me on what i must do, what they expect of me as part of my care plan, and scrapped the original agreement about my care and the way forward.......and they've took a hard line unsympathetic stance towards me and put unreasonable demands on me for the conditions for me to have care??
really treacherous what they are doing, so anyway, my mum, loved ones advised me to get in touch with the same mental health law firm again, because they think, and i think, we have a strong case about my care and what the mental health services have done to me again, the mental health services unethical practice & attitude towards me......my mum normally phones up these places to take the lead, but this situations has put a lot of stress on her and left my mum drained.......so i phoned the mental health law firm earlier and relayed everything that's happening to me with one of their representatives......the rep told me my previous files or case won't be with them anymore as they destroy clients files after 6 years....but i did my best to explain everything that's happening to me...and she told me she will go away and speak to a legal rep, to see if they can take on my case or help...and that she would contact me tomorrow to inform me one way or the other?
so now, i'm left in a state of angst, stress, worry and suspense wondering how we are going to sort this out....how i'm going to fight to get the care i need, which was originally agreed to, but scrapped.....if the mental health law firm will help me, if not, what i'll do then? and also worried about my elderly mum who is under stress and drained at the moment because of what's happened with me, because she supports me mainly.....my mum reassured me earlier that she's ok, not ill in any way, but just drained because of what's happened...and that she's resting....but she's still backing me all the way.....but she wants me to take the lead on phoning my solicitors this time, because this situation has drained my mum.
so i did the best i could and phoned the solicitors...but just worried what they will come back with, if they'l be able to help and if not, where i'll go from there? so immense stress and worry right now....i do fully believe i have a strong case, because the mental health service & my care coordinator are in the wrong and deviated from the care plan agreement, not me.
so at the same time, worried about my care from the mental health service, how we're going to get that care originally agreed upon....and also worried about my mum who i adore, even though she said she's alright, she's just understandably drained.....my mum doesn't need this at her time of life.
can anyone help or advise anything else i could do besides consulting with my mental health law firm?
it really is a very difficult situation which has been sprung on us, on me, again, through no fault of mine.
