I think mine has been partly self inflicted yes. I mean I wouldn’t accept a male case worker.
To be honest I’m not really that bothered. As long as my depot has been switched to pills and passed on to my GP. It’s due in about 2.5 weeks and I’ve heard nothing about having it. So I’m assuming they have passed it on.
I was discharged from my community mental health team about a year ago or something. After being with one since i was 17. They are stretched thin with resources and staff etc.
i wouldnt attempt to cut meds without the help of a qualified dr, I tried to do it when i was discharged back to my GP and (it was partly my fault) i fell into psychosis again i was really hoping my mind was healed. i still think the latest attempt could have been easier with a good sleep med (which i had) but couldn’t take at the time, i blame my last psychosis on insomnia
My daughter insisted I have regular contact with the CMHT, and not be taken off their books. So it’s depot every 3 months. Ditto phone check up. Felt mentally bad latter half of Monday. Woke up Tuesday to chills and aches. 13x to the toilet for a pee. Probable UTI. The mind - body connection? Generally though my psych symptoms aren’t high on the priority list. Without including currently seeing sleep nurse it’s about 4-5 hours contact a year.
