I've just posted letters to my psychiatrist and social worker discharging myself from mental health services. May be I'm acting irrationally I don't know.
How's everyone doing this afternoon?
When life gets you down do you know what you've gotta do?
ah razorblade (sorry, no good with names), i hope you thought about it for a while and didnt act irrationally. its something ive thought alot about, but then i get anxious between appointments, so couldnt imagine not having anymore. even though they sometimes wind me up more, its nice to know there is someone there. maybe you could of just cut the appointments back gradually and reduced it instead of trying to cut of contact? i dont know where they stand in terms of discharging you etc

I understand what you mean but I rarely have appointments. Social worker seems to forget to call me to arrange appointment or she's on annual leave. I needed support after my friend committed suicide and they just didn't provide it.

I need routine in my life, or at least things scheduled in at all times else I get really fidgety and restless OR I go the opposite way and get very low. I couldn't be a teacher with gaps like you get!
im a Teaching Assistant, but yeh, same holidays. used to relish the holidays as always needed the break and liked the opportunity to do other things, but this time is different, i guess as had only been back full time for 6 weeks before we broke up
