need support

[Snow Leopard]

Hi I am really falling apart at the moment. I know I'm overreacting to ordinary things but I just seem to connect with a huge well of sadness. I recently lost my therapist with no notice or time to prepare and have since realised I was so dependant on him too much. I went to see my GP who was concerned about how much it was affecting me so she referred me to CMHT and they are assessing me tomorrow. I am so nervous about it. I had to go through 18 months of assessment only to be told at the end of it there was nothing the trust could offer me because my case was too complex. I found my therapist privately and my therapy was going really well I was making progress. Now I am stuck feeling the loss of this lifeline and not really wanting to see someone new but knowing that there is no other way forward. I don't want to be ripped apart so someone sees the pain I'm in. I could just do with some wise words or support.

ok first thing the CMHT are there to help you when they are assessing you be honest don’t told back because to make a fare assessment they will need to know everything! I’m a student social worker and it’s hard because when people don’t tell me everything i have to make a judgement and then they often need reassessment because they with held information. Being dependant on one person is not always the best thing for your recovery so maybe look at it as a good thing a change to move a step closer to where u want to be however I appreciate how hard it is with no closure that was wrong. You know the moving forward is important for you and that you need help to-do so which is really big and brave of you. You will be fine I’m sorry if I have not helped much but I’m always here if u want to message me. And remember CMHT will have to assess you and to got the help you have to reach their levels of need so don’t play anything down good luck XX
