Im really apprehensive of tomorrows appointment.

Im seeing a link worker. Hes a social worker. But im unsure of what to expect from this meeting. I dont know what his roile is. I know he used to work for the crisis team and im worried that he still has links with them. I want to beable to be honest with him as to how im feeling because things arent good at the moment. And because i am seeing him at the doctors surgery does that mean he will report back to my doctor things that i say.

I have so many worries about this. Im petrified.

Hugs Rowie, you've had a rough time and deserve so much better. Be honest with him and yourself to give yourself every chance ok?

you need to be aware that a team is looking after you and oyu need to be honest with evewryone in that team, lies usually trip you up somewhere and they'll start to think you're playing games. if oyu want to get better, then take the help you need so badly.

Well I had my appointment with the link worker. It was supposed to be for half an hour, but I was only in there for 5 minutes. He knew id been to a and e last night and 3 weeks ago. He had rung up the cmht and found out that I am being referred back to them and that theyre in a meeting now about me and therefore there wasnt anything he could do to help me as my needs were too complex.

Im not sure how i feel. Im not sure i want to be under the cmht but then again it would be nice to have the extra support. I never realised things happened so quickly and now im scared.

To be honest I didnt see that my needs were complex. Im used to coping on my own and seeing my doc and therapist. Im not sure what a cpn can throw into the equation, but i guess i will wait and see

they can make sure oyu're ok day to day, betweren appointments and make sure you take your meds correctly. i've taken my meds correctly for a month now - hard for me coz i'm a scatterbrain and forget things. the worst wasi took one 5hrs late (only one a day so didn't matter too much).

if i can do it so can you mand x
