I want to call them but I dont know if I can I dont now whether I want to and Im too scared

You want to but you aren't sure if you want to?
*confused*
heh.
If you're feeling particularly unsafe, and want some help/support with that, it might be worth giving them a call.
They don't bite - i don't think they do anyway!
*hug*
You'll be fine.
Goodluck xx

whirlpools · 07-10-2008, 05:53 PM

do you know what you're afraid of happening, sammi?

ems · 07-10-2008, 05:54 PM

call them... whats the worst they can do? If you want to talk to them, i'm sure they'll be able to help *hugs*

I am a cat · 07-10-2008, 06:04 PM

I have there number yeah....Ive been under them many times.
I dont know what Im scared of, I know I need there help but Im too afraid to ask for it.

Heidi Tiger · 07-10-2008, 06:05 PM

Is it just someone to talk to right now you need?
Have you considered trying samaritans or focusline first, perhaps phoning someone anonymously might be less scary for you

I am a cat · 07-10-2008, 06:07 PM

No I know right no I need intensive supprot from my MH team. I have my social worker but sometiems shes not enough you know.
Just got a lot on my plate at the moment and Im not coping.

ems · 07-10-2008, 06:43 PM

yeh.. i know *hugs* Is there anything I can do? I saw my care co-ordinator today who just irritated me as usual. Had to fill out some stupid form for supported living, cos my mum wants me to move out

Sweetest Downfall · 07-10-2008, 07:35 PM

*cuddles you name twin*
If you need the support, get it hun! I often feel scared to call people when I am down but its not as scary as sitting there worrying about the problem and whether to call or not

What was it exactly that you were wanting to call them for?
[and more importantly] How are you feeling now?

I am a cat · 07-10-2008, 11:08 PM

ems · 07-10-2008, 11:13 PM

I am a cat · 07-10-2008, 11:16 PM

Ill try Im gonna go to bed now....I have uni in the morning if I cant do it Ill get a friend to call maybe??

Misunderstood. · 07-10-2008, 11:20 PM

Or get a friend to keep you safe instead?
I've a feeling the crisis team would either fob you off or assess you to go inpatient, by fob you off i mean the most they'll do is bring forward your next psych app or perhaps tell you to go to a and e if things get worse.
I don't know, I've never been keen on crisis teams no matter how desperate i've felt.
I always opt for help from someone who knows me and actually cares.
Take it easy.

Please call them Sammi.Please be brave hun.i am worried about you.

The War Doctor · 07-10-2008, 11:44 PM

If you feel unsafe you're better off calling them... I know its scary but they're only there to help.

Feel better soon, and PM me any time.

rustedchains · 11-10-2008, 04:45 AM

Calling isn't a bad thing. I know... I've called them before. The first time I was shaking and my palms were sweating. But I worked up the courage and you know what? It got me through the moment.
