    My GP recently referred me to the local access team. I've suffered from mental health problems for many years, and a few weeks ago I was so depressed that I spoke to my GP about quitting medication/treatment, which if I decided to do would result in my death within 2-3 weeks. I explained to my GP that I didn't think that the access team would agree to see me, because numerous treatments over many years have failed to help me. She explained that when she wrote to them explaining that I was thinking about ending treatment, that would result in me dying, that they would have to see me. The Doncaster access team sometime later called and offered to refer me to Doncaster talking shop, but on Doncaster Talking shops website page they state that they can't see anyone who is a harm to themselves (a suicide risk), or anyone whose had 3 attempts at certain therapies!. Why, when my GP wanted me to see a psychologist, are they sending me to the talking shop?.
