I feel like complete shit. I'm sat listening to crap on tv. Had appointment earlier with mental health team. Had second depo today. Pointless! While I was having it done, I was asked what have I got planned this weekend. Answer was simple, 'nothing'.
I can't bare another hour of this. My SN arrives on 2nd Oct. hopefully it will arrive before then. I want to cry but I can't. The hours are dragging. The thought of waking up tomorrow, knowing that I am only going to feel like this again and again and again, is just... unjust!
I'm done.
It's all too much. My head is throbbing with all the hurt, memories, regrets.
I'm just letting so many people down and it isn't going to be easy for them, but it isn't easy for me either. I lasted as long as I could. Tried everything I could. For nothing.
I wish it could have been different, I wish I could have been different.
Does anyone know if confidentiality still applies once I am dead? What I mean is I have disclosed private stuff to mental health services in recent months and I don't want it shared with my family at the inquest into my death. It isn't mental health related. I'm based in the UK if that helps.
Role on 2nd, give or take a day.

I looked up to see that in both the US and UK, confidentiality continues after the death of a patient.
But I will say this, one doctor started disclosing things she had never shared before after one of my family members had passed away, so, just because something is illegal, doesn't mean someone might not decide to do these things.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this for me.

Will only be disclosed if its used as evidence in a criminal court case where any of your records or statements can be used by either the prosecution or defence

I had very much misunderstood what "confidentiality" had meant when I first started therapy in my teens. Worrying about how secure that information really is had stolen many years of my life. It's more flimsy than you'd think.
