Just not coping

[Fire Fly]

Sorry that Im doing another post. I dont even deserve to get help.

Im not doing so good :/.

The pdoc and the care coordinator said that i should go into hospital for my own safety but i said no. they said they would keep ringing me and if i dont get better then (well they never continued the rest of the sentence) but im guessing htey will force me. But they said i could compromise and go in or get the home treatment team.

I said no to both as i didnt want to go into hospital and also I live with my grandma and I dont want her to know im having issue with my mh. She doesnt know i do any of things i do to myself and shes old so she wouldnt understand.

What im asking is that what would you do? What does the home treatment team do? Also has anyone been to Lakeside Mental Health Unit?

Im really scared :(. I dont want to go inpatient but I want to be better as I start my job on the 7th of June and if i continue liek this a) i might not be here b) i just wont cope.

Sorry for this. i just want to know what other options there are or what would you do if you were in my situation.

Im assuming cc is care coordinator.

Why don't you see what the home treatment team can do for you.

They generally visit you at home up to twice a day in my area to a lot less regularly. I struggled with them but I know a lot of people who have found them really helpful.

Your grandma may not know your struggling but she will if you get sectioned or you make an attempt on your life. So maybe now is the time to weigh up the pros and cons of her knowing.

Thanks Covert-ops and random.swirls.

Yep cc = care coordinator.

She wouldnt have to know; I could tell her im going to spend some time with my dad and jsut ring her occasionally. She wouldnt understand. shes 85 and doesnt understand these things.

What does the home treatment team do?

Thanks again for your replies.
