I’m terrified to go see my social worker tomorrow. I don’t know where this fear is coming from, but it seems like she threatens to section me quite often. I haven’t done anything bad or unsafe to myself in the past week, yet I’m still scared of the power she has over me. I also tell her I feel over medicated and she tries to tell me other wise.
I know what you mean.
I’m starting to be a bit suspicious of my case manager.
She was asking me today in the car if I am preparing myself for the future when both my parents are gone.
It sounded as if she wants me to go to a group home at some point in the future.
I hope she doesn’t want to have me committed.
She wants me to get re-evaluated by a psychiatrist.
She mentioned this local psych ward.
I’m getting nervous.
@Wave I’m so sorry you’re having similar feelings, it’s not a fun place to be in.
No it’s not, I’m sorry for you too @Hanna_Foxx.
I hope that my family is not involved.
Those people have to much power
I don’t want to turn this thread into bashing social workers, I know they are a great help. I’m just feeling extra paranoid tonight about tomorrow’s appointment.
You will be fine @Hanna_Foxx.
I’ve been a bit paranoid lately.
Maybe it’s paranoia on your part too?
Social workers want to help, so do case managers.
@Wave in this case I don’t know if it’s paranoia or a real fear. It is a real fear that I’m over medicated.
Did you discuss this with your psychiatrist?
I haven’t seen my psychiatrist for the past 6 weeks, I won’t see her until the 13th of December. There was a problem with over booking and I got bumped.
Yeah you shouldn’t be over medicated.
I’m sorry.
Do you think your able to confront her and express your concerns? Tell her your fearful of her - she may have no idea. Being open about it might put your mind at rest.
