No, I get the impression the Crisis Team have pretty much given up on me because I've officially been handed over to the Community Mental Health Team, but since their psychiatrist was one of those ignorant gits who doesn't take menopause seriously and was incredibly patronising and belittling in his assessment, I'm now on a waiting list until whenever they have someone available to help me. The Samaritans have been much more helpful and sympathetic.
Ladybt - the confusing thing is that I don't have any fluctuations in my hormones. I had chemotherapy for breast cancer 2 years ago and that completely destroyed my ovaries, so the only hormones I'm getting are via HRT. Nobody apart from the private specialist I saw a few times has taken any interest in trying out different regimes, I'm just stuck on Evorel 100 patch with Utrogestan if I can bear to take it, and that's it. No idea what my estrogen level is now. I can't afford to keep going private, I've lost my job and now existing on ESA. Just hanging on for the Poole Menopause CLinic appointment I've had to fight tooth and nail for, on Nov 20th. And Poole is a 3 hour drive from me...
