Afternoon everyone...long time no post!!

As some of you know hubby and I went to Newcastle last week to celebrate our wedding anniversary-sadly we had to come home a day early as I was feeling really ropey...2 panic attacks within a few hours! Hubby drove us home, and I have been taking it easy since then. Thankfully our internet connection was playing up too-so gave me some vital rest time!!!

Hugs, love n hugs to everyone...and fairy dust of course

Afternoon everyone.

Well.. a weird kind of day for me really. Had the CAB appointment and also gave them a copy of the Tiff letter and also a copy to my gp, as well as requesting a presceiption for my AD's, almost ran out *gulp*

When I got home, there had been no phone call from the unit where she's staying, so I rang daughter on her mobile and she told me she made a big pool of blood by cutting her wrists and that she's told staff she wont stop until she succeeds in killing herself. Meanwhile, other phone rings and its a staff member to say Louisa is ready to come home - ermm..

Me: hasn't she just cut her wrists?
Staff: errr. yes
Me: then how can you send her home when she's clearly not safe?
Staff: well, she has to be able to contain herself and we have to manage the unit..
Me: if 8 staff can't contain her, how am I going to manage it on my own?
Staff: errr... ummmmm
Me: I'm sorry but I'm not willing to have her here, she's not safe and i don't want anything to happen to her. You'll have to section her or find an alternative.

and I hung up!

Sent the tiffy letter by email to MP, PCT, psychologists, local councillors, social services and eveyone else I can think of. I feel bad, like Im abandoning my lil girl, but I spoke to her and explained what I'm doing and she agreed that she wants to be somewhere more secure and protective. So we shall see.

Six months of my daughter steadily deteriorating has to stop!

You go girl!:T
Hun, you have nothing to blame yourself for.
You're doing what any good mother would do - and that's to provide the best care for their children. You're very brave! You hold your head up hunnie!
And what's really nice about this is that DD understands and agrees. Any serious illness, mental or physical, takes a lot of hard treatments so it's not easy, but it's what you have to do to get better or as well as you can be.
Angel - you have done your family proud!:A
Much Love,

Evenin guys.. I just took a little nap.. was soo sleepy

Daughter is going to be assessed by a crisis team at some point this evening and then sectioned for 72 hours to a securer unit.. what happens after that 72 hrs I don't know

Meanwhile.. my email to everyone under the sun got a response from the local Lib Dem councillor who just happened to be sitting in a meeting with the executive for child services.. she's asked me to give her as much info as poss via email and she'll pass it on and get it sorted ASAP

So things are feeling a little more positive just now.. here's hoping it keeps up

awww thats great

its good she is now being assessed by a crisis team, and being sent to a secure unit, i think they will then assess the situation again hun.

wooohooo, that email certainly did the trick before you know it things will be on the up hun much love

Hi, I hope it is ok for me to join in here, I have been battling with depression, anxiety and panic attacks for most of my adult life and everything came to a head last july when I had a breakdown. Since then I have been getting a lot more help, got a lovely cpn and my doctor is great but I still am having really bad days, some days it is a fight to get out of bed, the panic attacks are still as bad as ever and I am finding it hard. Its nice to read I am not alone here anyway so thanks everyone.

Welcome to the family

your never alone hun, remember that

it sounds like you are being positive which is great

and although you are still having bad times and the panic attacks remember to just try and control your breathing with a panic attack, know nothing bad is going to happpen, and think calm and relazing thoughts
