Hi Julie
That must be a great worry for you. You should receive a discharge letter, which should give a summary of your current health and the fact it is now a short term service - so you would be able to send that in as evidence. In the future, you may need to seek clarification from your GP that you have ongoing issues. This is not always easy and depends on your GP.
I don't know whether you see a psychiatrist - but they are sometimes willing to write letters at least clarifying your difficulties.
