Onlyroz, I agree with Majisola, he may not be psychic but my medication has been increased without him even seeing or speaking to me. He can't even assume it's not working by how I came across then because he had had no contact with me for 4 weeks and then increased it.

As for CBT, what is the point of 'giving it a go' when I do it all day every day? If I wasn't doing these things I would try, but I do them all the time. It's not like i'm living in my house unable to go out or maintain contact with people - I'm doing these things perfectly well. Telling me to send a text message when I probably send 100+ a day is pointless. If it has been send a text message to ABC about XYZ it may have been challenging in some way, but just send a text in general is completely pointless when I do it perfectly well.

Thrifty, I listen to music and watch DVDs that make me laugh a lot, I use them as distractions. I don't think they particularly help though. The laughter clinics sound interesting. I will look in to that. As does making a list and ticking things off. I will try that. Thank you.

CP, it's good to hear a positive experience of being in a hospital for MH issues. I've been reading a thread in the arms by somebody who is in one at the moment and it sounds terrible, and quite scary. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Bubble - you sound a bit more positive atm so that is a step in the right direction. Well done you:T:T

OP - you have said a couple of times that people haven't asked the right questions (your GP, the previous counsellor), and although that may be true it doesn't help to withhold information that you know might be helpful just because nobody asked. It may be that you have successfully given the impression that you are coping and they are trusting you to tell them anything that they might need to know in order to help you.
