First of all, you CAN do this.
You are amazing and so bloody strong and I'm amazed at all that you've overcome so far. Can you please tell your doctor about the blood? I believe in you more than I believe in myself. Please don't give up. I love you.
The only time you will find real light is when you're searching in the dark..
Thanks all. Some shit has gone down I don't really want to talk about jut yet. I'm pretty low but I managed to get the dog to the vet (yearly health check nothing bad) yesterday even though the thought of leaving the house seemed too big a challenge, and a seeing people trying to sort out the stair lift today even though I feel like locking my door and never seeing anyone again. So I am trying. It's just so hard.

You are obviously trying big time, huge respect. Are there people who you would like to see, who you feel are supportive of you? I know that hiding away can seem like a good idea sometimes, and it can be useful to get a bit of time to yourself but we all need good connections with people too. Take care.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I wondered with hosp and that but never thought thids-my CPN after 5 years is leaving me without even telling me, my new SPN is apparently a man*abuse triggers* She promised she'd say when she left and slowly introduce new CPN. Not happened, she clearly doesnt give a shit.
Already tiggerd an all that then this is straw that broke the camel's back.
Am I being stupid to be this upset?

You're not being stupid at all. Changes are always difficult and especially so when the people making changes are being incredibly thoughtless and insensitive.
I don't think it's unreasonable to be upset. Can you ask for a swap in new CPN to a female? Given your history I don't think that'd be an unreasonable request.
Do you need any medical attention and/or can you let someone know about the alcohol and self harm?
Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
Honestly Katy, it's so far from discrimination!!!! It is perfectly reasonable to request a female cpn if you prefer that. I also find it odd they didn't bother to ask you if you would be okay with a male. That shows a lack of time and understanding on their behalf. Ask for another one!!!!! You're not bothering anyone, you need to have someone you can trust and work with!!!!
It's definitely not discrimination given your trauma/abuse history. Without that I'd say it was, but that's absolutely a valid reason to need a certain gender of staff.
Definitely ask.

Just a thought, but if you tell them you'll find it hard they might be able to do exposure treatment with you. I had a male CC and it was so hard at first but over time it got easier and it ended up being a good thing to challenge me to trust. It has to be your decision though
