Today, and tomorrow. . .

So my meeting with my mentor was today. It went okay, and he let me go home, if only for the sole purpose I have therapy tomorrow, which he also goes to with me. He said not telling my therapist, was not an option tomorrow. It worried him that I could still be a potential threat to myself, and that I did what I did with no triggers out of the blue. I don't know if my therapist will still find me a danger to myself, and I pray he doesn't, because I don't want to go back into IP. I'm scared. . .

I'm glad the meeting went OK hun, well done for telling him everything. Your mentor is right in that you do need to tell your therapist. I know you don't want to go back into IP, but there may be other options. Try to remember that people are just trying to help you and, if it helps you get better, surely whatever they decide is a good thing?

Take care xxx

I think your mentor is right. Your therapist needs to know if you want him to help you. I'm sure there is a solution that will fit your needs best. it's up to you to have the frame of mind that will tell your therapist that you don't need to go back to IP. Show awareness of your situation and calmly expose your issues and the ways you've found to manage and I'm sure something constructive will come out of your session

Good luck!!!

It's really important that you see the amount of support you're recieving. I wish I had such a dedicated lot-my shrink wouldn't know unstable if it smacked her in her big old bottom. Your mentor & your shrink have a duty to protect you-even from yourself. They're commited to helping you. That's something to take comfort in.

Alright here's a question. Do you not want to visit the IP because, you don't want to get better? If you don't want to get better-I'm sorry hunny whatever the shrink suggests is probably best. But maybe you're stressed out about something about IP? You want to get better-but you don't believe IP is for you-then talk to them. Be responsible, admit you need help-but are willing to discover other ways?

Stay strong.
