Assessment with CMHT but feelin' okay

[TheGiantPanda]

I'm going for an assessment on Monday with the CMHT because i've been struggling a lot with stress, self harm, depression and what not, thing is though the past week or so i've been feelin' fine and i haven't cut in almost 2 weeks. Do i tell her what it has been like or what? I still have fantasies about suicide most days and i have had many urges to cut but haven't acted on them for about 2 weeks. My mood though seems to be in general not too bad, i get the low points in the day but nothing like they have been for a few weeks, worried she's going to think i'm time wasting or i'm not going to get the help i need. How should i approach it? Anybody?

Definitely tell her how things have been over the longer term. Some mental health problems come and go quite rapidly so you want to be sure you have the support in place in case things decline for you again. I haven't cut for over a month, and before that was like four months ago, but I still need to see CMHT.

I'll be seeing her tomorrow, little but nervous as i haven't had an assessment since 2004. I'm going to write some extra stuff down on a bit of paper so if i get stuck and forget what i want to say then i can refer back to it. My issues seem just like that, come and go, when i'm fine i'm fine but then i go down hill fast. In a weird sorta place right now.

Yeah by all means say that things have been a bit better recently but make sure you cover how it has been.

Writing things down is always a good idea

Good luck with this.Your being really brave and i really hope it goes well!

Just be open and honest with them and yeah if writing things down helps then go for it - i often find it helps!

i hope you get the help you need and arent feeling too bad.

I went to see her, another person was in there, psychologist maybe i dunno, anyway they went through everything but i don't like the one therapist, she seemed judgemental, and, she was the therapist my fiancee used to see, so i think she may have a judgement on me before she has even met me, can't warm to her one bit, the other person seemed okay, i should be seeing her for some formulation work? anybody heard of that? if i went for cat therapy with the one i don't like it will be a 7 month waiting list. It was a weird visit, long gaps between asking me questions and just staring at me with a fake smile on there faces. I feel like i wanna cut now, i feel like they have formed an opinion of me over the space of an hour and i don't think it' a good one :( maybe i'm just paranoid.
