If they didn't think the resources were being well used by you then they probably wouldn't support you. I'm sure they are making sure that you and other people who need resources are getting as much as possible. It's ok to need resources to prevent things from getting worse.
A support group sounds good, I hope you find it useful. Is that with the recovery college or something else? Will someone be coming with you?
Definitely talk to your CC, I know you get on well with her so hopefully you can be honest with her and she can be honest with you.
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.
Yep it's with the recovery college
The lady on the phone described the group to me and it sounds good and they talk to you first to find out your anxieties and stuff. Sounds quite friendly and informal
No one will be coming with me but the lady sounded nice
I'll try and be honest with her
I feel like I should lie though to get her and the psych off my back
I think she might be able to tell if I'm lying though
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Hopefully you can have less input soon if that's what you want. Please be honest with your CC, she probably would be able to tell if you were lying and not being honest isn't going to move anything in the right direction.
The group sounds good, I'm glad you're feeling positive about it. Do you know when the rest of the things are starting with the recovery college?

I generally like meeting up with my CC because we have a laugh, but not when they start talking about hospital and serious stuff.
I'm sure I'd be fine without all this intervention
Im so so sick of taking meds
I'm not sure yet.
I assume they will ring me about the other groups.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
With mental illness there's only so much willpower can achieve. You need to have a healthy brain and meds can help with that. If you're still experiencing symptoms, maybe it's time to tweak your meds. If you cooperate with your team you are more likely to avoid hospital.
I think people are just trying to prevent anything getting worse. They might be able to see signs that aren't obvious to you so although you don't feel unwell it sounds like they're just being cautious. And even if you do have to go into hospital now, it would be for much less time than if you waited until things become unmanageable.
I get depressed sometimes.
And very anxious.
I do hear voices and have hallucinations but I'm on the fence as to whether they are a symptom or not.
Surely the meds would be working if it was all in my head? The fact that the meds don't really help makes me think it's all real
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Symptoms don't really have on/off switches that meds can flip. It's more of like a dial, where with meds things might be at like a 4 or 5 where without meds they would be at like a 10.
Even with medical stuff like your epilepsy for example. Taking a medication doesn't automatically mean you aren't epileptic anymore or are 100% well. It just helps to make things more manageable. It works the same way with mentals.
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.
