My CMHT is a Joke

So i phoned up the reception to get my invega jab - cos i missed it on Tuesday, and ive been fobbed off that i “might” get a phone call this afternoon or probably monday.

And after a year - they have just decided that im gonna have a Care Co-ordinator - well i dont ruddy well want one. They are too intrusive, and why after a year, where ive been left to fend for myself. The previous one was a total snowflake anyway and was more interested in telling me about his dose of sertraline he was on.

Im tempted to leave a crappy message on their answer-phone and tell them exactly what i think of them. But no im just gonna ignore the lot of them.

They can fcking sing if they think im having my jab as well. (get a court order if i bloody need it).

I will stick to the pills. At least i wont have so many negatives off that damn jab.

Are you saying that you’ve decided to come off some of your meds?

Only the paliperadone (invega jab) - they are pratting me about with it. Im not anti - med,
i will just continue to take the Quetiapine thats dished out by the GP. And ignore them.

Yes of course. I forgot we were mate :slight_smile:

I just find i laughable they have just decided to send someone to see me every 2 weeks - when, when i asked last year they did sod all when i was struggling.

Ive recovered enough these days, and got my own coping tricks not to need them now - and im arsed if im jumping thru there hoops - just so they can “complete the paperwork”.

I had a care coordinator foe about 4 years . Then things supposedly changed re the car plan approach. The standard CPA, that I was on was kicked into the long grass c2008. However when I came here in 2017 you automatically were put on a care plan. My care coordinator is the primary person that’s supposed to do my depot.

However she’s at increased risk for COVID19 so I haven’t seen her for about 6 months …

My treatment has never been court ordered. My Care co-ordinator is now some woman ive never heard off. And im on the 8th shrink that never rings you anyway.

Sorry, but ive had enough of them sticking their nose is. Dont mean to sound ungrateful - but they stress me out, and that cant be good. Im honestly well enough these days, with insight to know to ask for help if i go downhill. I really think i just dont need the jab anymore.

I thought if a person on a depot you would be under a CPA and have to have a care co-ordinator?

I’m on a CTO and have been since 2011. My care co-ordinator is okay. I’ve had the same one 5 years now. I think he tells me what I want to hear. I got sectioned 3 weeks ago and now and currently on section 17 leave. I have to take haloperidol as until they increase the Invega at my next depot on 2nd Sep,

I’m considered High risk I suppose as I seriously harmed myself cutting microchip out my armpit. Talk about this microchip again got me recalled on my section, just the mention off it.

You probably do. I wouldn’t come off it.

Yeah. Your probably right - but i can dose up on Seraqoul so its not like ive come off meds completley. I dont know. All i know is im feeling well - and they are winding me up.

I’m one of those people who tends to be non-compliant with oral meds . Not, I hasten to add, deliberately so but because I’m prone to forgetting to take doses.

I have weekly cardboard dosset boxes for the omeprazole and procyclidine . Even with those I’ll miss doses here and there. This week has been especially bad i.e 2/5 daily doses missed.

You may have seen the thread, but they gave me some psychology sessions, and conveniently they’re ending when the doctor retires.

They never replace people in good time.

I had to wait for 6 months to get a new psychiatrist, and in that time I just had push back on everything, and was being prescribed things randomly over the phone.

My care coordinator is so obstructive when I try and get help

He is a ■■■■
