Do you have any friends you could confide in?
Do you find the CRHT team helpful?
Thanks for your reply. I have told some of my friends but I guess they're kinda distant. I have friends who are messaging me and checking I'm ok, but they're all old friends who I don't live near anymore. I don't think my friends here really understand. My best friend has barely messaged me or spoken to me since this happened and when she did it was just "you'll feel better soon". She didn't understand really. So I have told friends but really they're not giving me that much support. Perhaps I just have to ask for it, but I don't want to cause trouble.
I am finding the CRHT team useful. It's good to have someone I can call any time of day or night and knowing there is someone coming to chatto me every few days. I suppose there's also some confirmation there that I wasn't making this up all along. It is serious and what I feel is being taken seriously. It never was in CAMHS, even when I tried to attempt suicide.

I've never been in an inpatient psych ward. Have been considering it though but it means telling my family etc. Why do you find that more helpful?
