Sorry, for some reason your post didn’t show when I just wrote that! I’m glad CPN has been out. I get the reluctance to see crisis team! But obvs better than the alternative. And you know, very occasionally they aren’t a massive pile of wank!
Yes it is way better than the alternative!
They do have their moments. Just depends on who you get. But whoever it is, the advice is still always 'distract yourself'. Which I do to death anyway
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Can you ask your CPN about seeing the psychologist again? It sounds like that might be helpful. Also what happened with the potential sleep meds?
Sorry if rude, but did you od on your secret pills? If so can you please please please give them to the carers to lock in the safe so this does not occur again? I would really hate for you to get sent back to hospital or end up in a poor physical state because of the voices being ridiculous.
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.
I will do.
I think it was always going to be arranged but I can ask where we're at with that.
They are going to get me some sleep meds. I imagine they'll give me a prescription tomorrow
That's not rude.
Yes I did. My cpn has now taken all my secret pills. And most of my ibuprofen which I am most annoyed about

I'm really sorry. :( I can understand being annoyed for sure, but also I'm really glad it is going to keep you safer. Maybe the voices will leave you alone about it in the future because they know it's not an option? I hope so.

I mentioned the possibility of supported housing to my cpn.
She said she was worried I wouldn't stay safe until that could be arranged.
I'm still not sure what to do with the whole supported housing thing.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Thanks
I'm really not sure.
I'd have to wait until lockdown eases anyway because I'm not moving in somewhere without physically going to see it first.
No I've not heard from crisis
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Cpn came with the crisis team.
They said I have to engage with them or I get recalled to hospital.
Cpn is going to look into funding for supported housing

I'm really sorry Beckie. Were crisis team at least nice? Hopefully you can work with them so you can stay out of hospital? That's both sucky options but I know being home would always be preferable.

I knew crisis team guy from one of the wards I was at so he was ok. Just depends who you get.
I'm going to work with them. I really don't want to go back to hospital.
I don't know if I've made the right choice with the supported housing situation
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I don't know either. I know you value your independence and you love your house, but if it would mean less time in hospital maybe it's not an awful idea. And it wouldn't have to be permanent. I dunno. I really don't think there's a right or wrong decision with it. Only just what fits your needs best for right now, and even that could be multiple options.

I get that giving up some of your independence must be frustrating and also probably a bit scary.
I guess when it comes down to it though at least now you still have a say in things instead of waiting for the next time they take that right away from you completely.
You're doing a good job looking after yourself overall, and that definitely counts for something.
