why bother?!

[Darkwings44]

But how could it be bad ? how else do I get support for me………. my family are so not understanding

[The Worst Witch]

Friends can be supportive, but the type you’re making are destructive to your wellbeing and not all the time. You need to tell the professionals who are helping you the intense stuff, and make friemds with people and have conversations with them that are not just about mental health.

I only see my therapist two times a month and last Friday was the last time this month so I?m pretty much dependent on my friends

[not_so_insig]

Couldn't you ask to see her more often if your therapist has space? It sounds to me that you need more support than twice a month.

[Darkwings44]

I tried to but they won’t let me

That’s exactly what I’ve been telling them!!!!!!!! But they won’t listen to me!!!!!!!!

[not_so_insig]

That sounds incredibly frustrating. Maybe it's an insurance issue.

[Darkwings44]

Yeah it is………….

I don’t know I’ll ask about it though

[Darkwings44]

I think I’m going to be not able to get online for a while because after the hospital stay my caseworker said that I can’t be with my online friends and not be negative about my life and feelings and not talk about the tramas and my thoughts and past

[Darkwings44]

I’m online but I don’t know if it’s going to be a long time but I’m going to try to talk to you all a lot

[Darkwings44]

I went to my psychiatrist appointment today and EVEN he said I needed weekly therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that’s what’s going to happen I’m soooo happy

[Iamcatbug]

Sounds positive. Hope that you use the support wisely.

[Darkwings44]

I will…… but I haven’t even met the therapist yet and I don’t know if I will like the person

You could have a go at working with them for a set amount of time eg 6 months and if you still don't like them after a reasonable amount of time then you could request that you change therapists. That's what I have always thought whenever I have had a change of cpn. Fortunately apart from 2 people they they have been good and I have been under a cmht for nearly 20 years. Its understandable you would be nervous about meeting someone new but you never know that they could be a good fit for you. Like I said before therapy is a 2 way street.

Everything is going back to the way it was before I was in the hospital!!!!!!! The staff T blames me and if she blames me then who?s to say that the clients don?t want to blame me for that as well EVERYTHING was good and that rarely happens to me!!!!!!!!!!! And I?m starting to feel like things are getting worse like how it was before the hospital visit!!!! I feel like I?m spiraling down again and I don?t see a way out???I think I have tried many different things I tried solve it with od and going to the hospital and by talking about it with my caseworker but NOTHING IS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did talk about it to the nurse and she said that it?s going to be the same therapist as before and they will get him to do weekly therapy

What are they blaming you for?

[Darkwings44]

I don’t know how to say this but basically I got a staff member I don’t know what to believe in but there are two different sides of people one who is blaming me and being angry at me and the other people who are telling me that it’s not my fault but the staffs fault because she was the one who brought the man into the group home
