Thank goodness! I really need this five day weekend! I need time to rest and relax and recharge. The only thing I do now is Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) but it gets to be too much for me with all the phone calls and groups. I don’t want to do it anymore because all I need now is my meds but I live with my dad and he’s making me do it because he wants me on a certain insurance and doesn’t know how to do the paperwork and won’t let me do the paperwork and ACT does the paperwork for me.

we did ACT in the psych ward… but i never understood what it was and what it was supposed to do…
I think they gave me a book for it too… i looked in it but i just don’t understand it.
It’s good for people who need it but I don’t think I need it anymore. I just want to stay home and take my meds.
I’ve been in ACT treatment since October 2008, and it works well for me. Since I was a kid, I’ve been a loner. My case manager and therapist are always pushing me to socialize more.

I’m glad it works well for you. It works well for me too but I just wish I could get less calls.

ACT used to manage my money for me, but they put it on me mostly to deal with my own problems. They turned over managing my money back to me in 2014, but I ran myself into debt. My case manager just did a budget for me, and I’m trying to stick to it. It has a plan to pay off my credit cards.
I used to have to ask my case manager for money and justify what I was going to spend it on.
