My path was long and gruesome until medication could be found that was suitable and worked to get me stable. I was told my next step would be intense rehabilitation after been in hospital so long and due to the illness I lost all my skills. My memory was affected and a referral to one of the only two inpatient rehabilitation centres in Ireland was made by my team. I was then made a voluntary patient and I awaited my rehabilitation acceptance but bad news came. They refused me as I was not chronic enough in my mental illness for the programme.
