English translation of Torill Sundengs epicrisis January: Sought medical advice because of strong panic around the clock. Doctor prescribed cipralex, but I just got worse and worse. Doctor told me to keep taking it. ... which I did in 6 months, but was so bad then, that was told to discontinue. Was committed to Preståsen psykiatriske senter, but after about 3 weeks, I was kicked out because they believed I was too ill to be there! No other treatment than going back to the doctor and possibly psychiatrist. Things escalated when I was left to myself, and I was admitted to the emergency in Tønsberg 1 day, seemed the same again. Could not do anything myself, not be home, not be alone, not to the mailbox, store or otherwise. Applied to be committed to Linde, Nordre Vestfold distriktspsykiatriske senter, waited 4 weeks, but was denied. In the meantime, I had mostly lived in my car outside Tønserg hospitals because so much panic 24 hours a day and felt I had great difficulty breathing. Living in a car in below zero weather was not sustainable in the long run, so I applied again for hospitalization. Refused because I was not suicidal enough .... Not enough to just “think” about suicide you need to actually attempt suicide to be admitted to the hospital. By the way, they thought it "was not good" for me to be committed to the hospital. No, better to live in a car full of anxiety when the ... only alternative was to get help from the acute emergency services when it was really bad, and it was bad just about every day, evening, night. Many of the doctors there felt I should be committed, and called and applied. Nope, refused ... sent home to the same misery, with new visits to the acute emergency services after a few hours. The acute emergency services are of course annoyed after a while, and refer me to the doctor. Going to the doctor, but he cannot do more ... not the psychiatrist either ... So after 14 months now, the situation is worse than when I started to seek help for my problems. They do not wonder why people get sick leave and disability pension .... The answer is: it does not help. Luckily I met a doctor at the acute emergency services last week in Oslo. He has found a place in Oslo where there was a short waiting time and has now applied for space for me there. The only doctor in these 14 months that has done something that might help me in the long run ... and I hope now that things are a bit more organized in the capital than here. It is the worst of the chaos I've been on, and it has made me much sicker than when I started. So I refuse to listen to that psychiatry in Vestfold works, for I have been painfully aware that it does not at all, find it incredibly frightening that so bad patients (which I have been / are now), and certainly more than me, do not get any help at all but lots of papers that fluttered over the head of a back and forth without anything happening with the patient. While I wait, it will be again emergency visits several times a day and a number of hours in the car outside where it should have been in .... Looking forward to coming to Oslo now, and get treatment (not only the storage that DPS (Distrikts Psykiatriske Senter) has to offer). Thinking seriously about moving to Oslo, for having been scared to get this again here in this county. Family and friends exhausted, I'm totally exhausted, out of work and life or by trying to help. It has worn me completely out. Unfortunately, not everything can change with the will and thoughts alone unfortunately. Have lived and been working full-time with anxiety for 30 years, so that the world will do much. But not all, not when it becomes so strong that I feel now ....I have learned all the techniques through the years, including cognitive therapy. However, when one can not be as sick as this. Packing my bags, and look forward to coming to Oslo Hospital that helps people to work with and master the anxiety issues. Thinking I'll be there, selling my lovely house and garden, do not dare live in this county anymore .... If I were to get sick again. In Oslo there was a 14-day waiting period for real help, here nothing, just blow after blow in the face for over 1 year, big difference between yea ...
