Big Set Back

I was woken up by a phone call this morning to tell me that due to the fact that I had missed several Mondays recently I was being taken out of the Big Picture programme. This is a major set back for me as I was finding that going to Big Picture was one way of ensuring I socialised, plus I saw it as a sign that I was on a path towards recovery. I feel now that not only have I been kicked out of the system that also I have been told I am ill and that all the struggles and fights I have been having to recovery haven't been worth it.

Once again I feel the system has let me down, I am supposed to be in what is called primary care, but in reality all this means is I see my psychiatrist  every 5 months to be told by him to keep taking my tablets. That is it. I could be a productive member of society with the right help and support, instead because I don't cause trouble or kick up a fuss I am left on my own. This has now been going on for 13 years, 13 years where I could have been earning money and paying taxes, something that the government claims it wants people like me to be doing. Well if they want us to come off benefits and get into work they need to ensure that systems are in place to achieve this.
