Triggering (Sexual Abuse) - Mental Health Assessment.

[Diamonds.]

Ok, so not long now till my Assessment on Tuesday. I'm quite nervous to be honest. I don't even know what they will ask me or what I should say.

I know one of my biggest things is my OCD. It drives me insane. It stops me from doing day-to-day activities. It is really, really getting me down at the moment. It's leading me to suicide. I hate it. I constantly think I smell and I shower 7+ times a day. My face feels dirty first. I hate it ):. If i so much as see a hair anywhere, like legs, armpits, and down there, I HAVE to shave. End of. I cry if I don't wash. I cry when I wash because I'm so sore. It annoys me because it's like a religion. I can't stop it. I can't help it. I can't go out, because I get the need to shower and when I can't get can't shower, I get anxious.

Also, My sexual abuse and voices play a big part. But I don't want to talk about them too much.

Any encouragement, hugs and help would be great.
Thanks.

Rebecca.

They will ask you a variety of questions about your history of mental health, family, relationships, previous hospital admissions (if there are any), previous medications and also questions on how your mental health and life is at the moment, how you spend your day and what difficulties you are having etc. The most important thing is that you answer the questions honestly with as much information as you feel possible to share as the more they know, the better they will be able to treat and support you.
Good Luck, I'm sure you will be fine and get through it. Try to remember that it is worth going through it to get the help you need and for things to become positive and easier.
