I know it feels like taking a step backwards to go back on medication after a break or be put back into the services when you've been discharged but they're forms of support that we all need from time to time.
We're even guilty of stigmatising mental illness because deep down we don't want to believe we rely on meds or be officially on some list that means that you're in the care of the CMHT. It makes us feel bad to have to use these things or increasing dosages and it feels like recovery is taking a step backwards but these services are there to help us and if you're feeling bad again I'd urge you to please let them give you all the help they can if you're feeling that way.
Lets face it, the services we get to help us on the NHS aren't fantastic but lets try to make the most of what they do give us.
I know what you mean about just trying to get on with it. I've been the same way and resisted going back on meds last time but in the end when you're at the end of your tether you need to grab on to any help that's offered to try to make things better.
What do you think?
