I'm dropping my complaint

    I've decided to drop my complaint against CMHT. The advocacy service have confused me so much I no longer trust them.

    I'm so stupid for having trusted these people. I gave them permission to contact my drs, which they have done, but they made decisions about me and my care without my permission. I thought the permission form was to get information *not* make decisions for me.

    Im so foolish for having trusted these people and not having looked up advocacy in the first place. I had no idea it meant them making choices and decisions for me.

    I tried though which I guess was a good thing.

    Have been somewhat smiley - sadface today i really thought these people were going to help.

    my complaint about my complaint being ignored has been with pals for over a month

    i have not heard anything beyond the initial "we are looking into this matter blabla"

    i think they just "oh, he is mentally ill, ignore it" pile

    I can sympathise. I hope it goes through soon.

    I'm still struggling with how mine can decide what treatment I need. I didn't realise they could do that. Now Im stuck with trying to find out how to remove permission to stop them making any more decisions.

    When I read your reply something struck me - namely the last sentence, maybe they reworded it to 'oh, she is mentally ill, we will decide instead and ask later'

    Some people honestly.
