When to inform

UKTigerlilly, it was 16 years ago...I don't have one now and times have changed I suspect a wee bit.

My reaction was also indicative of how my illness was impacting on me at the time, I didn't want to have to have help and was only just recognising that I was not coping at all (proud begger that I am) and to have someone who had only just met me for the 1st time, very patronisingly telling me she thought I was coping very well was rather insulting and made me feel a fraud (yes in my mixed up world, I was confused and very defensive/sensitive). I was peed off that I could have a weakness, scared, confused and annoyed with my body.

We did have a good relationship after that rather eek start, she realised that 'geeing' me up was not the way to go rather giving me intelligent advice and leaving out the bright encouragement which may help others.

I too couldn't get a CPN in 2005 when I had my breakdown, just not the funds or the staff to do it...and that time, I desperately needed one.

I've put Police/CPNs and doctors out my house.

Why? Gets to the point you realise they don't communicate and was peaded off with them debating between them what to do.

Care Plan, what is that?

Bryando don't think the CPN's like me either. Know what you mean about improving, my meds are calming the voices but not the rest of it, not the stuff no-one seems to care about but i know for a fact its there and that it's true. Know in a way im not really getting better and im just deluded as i still cant do much alone

I don't get meds. Just a beta blocker to keep me calm. If the voices where my thoughts, why give me a anti psycotic?

However this shrink agreed what I said. Hence why he is taking the time to speak in depth about it I reackon. Right enough only see him 2/3 times per year!! Or if I'm detained.
