Getting my depot tomorrow. Had a good talk with nurse over the phone - spoke about early intervention

I was telling them about my fears about being under surveillance. I explained I have a habit of phoning my mum and she gets upset seeing me suffer.

The nurse was really good and said I obsess and neuroticise my suspicions so I get little relief. She said I should phone the community nursing as soon as these thoughts start becoming relentless.

She assured me it’s totally appropriate to phone the team (and not my mum) when I have these problems. They said there is a big emphasis on early intervention now.

This made me feel better because I worried I was using the team inappropriately. In fact I was worried I had a reputation in the team office. But my new nurse said phoning them is the right thing to do. This made me feel better.

Mate. I’ve learned over the years to take what help I can get!

My shrink is a mad in demand doctor who doesn’t charge me for my visits. I like that a lot!

Mate. It’s not bad to ask for help and it’s certainly in your best interests to use such help as much as you can!
