Now that I am not a serious danger now to me or others don’t think I should stop seeing mental health workers?

I don’t feel there is any value or need to be in contact with them

Do they interfere with your mental health if you see them often?

They cause more harm than good

Promises of things that don’t happen upset me more than the benefit

Might as well ask for a discharge then, you seem pretty good at managing your meds and life given the stress you manage to balance

There’s always room for improvement. If you made it this far this fast, it means you’ve got lots of the journey still ahead of you. Use anything placed within your reach for it.

If you relapse would they be handy to get you a hospital bed quickly?

Yes I think they could

I don’t feel I need their help to fix me

Less contact will help more than anything they can possibly do

Why do you see things that way?

I consider my pdoc to be a safety net, at least.
He’s met so many other sufferers and knows a lot about behavior, early signs of relapse, coping strategies etc.
I always look forward to our appointments.

You shouldn’t have to be a danger before you get care. You can prevent backsliding if you stay in treatment.

I find I am unable to be understood

This physio appointment I had last week showed me just how misunderstood I really am

It’s not productive for anyone

Isolation seems to be the logical cure

Paired back a few other areas and this is the next obvious target

All I want is to be left alone at the moment

I describe it as such because interventions don’t seem to happen in a helpful way until it gets at that point

Fixing yourself is your job, they can just be one of the tools you use for it. All I’m saying is don’t discard what could be a useful option later on.

isolation is not a healthy way to cope Imo,

I have best of both worlds, i managed to be more independent and also became more sociable, I went to college & then later dropped my cpn visits &… its different for everyone but in my head, isolation is like a

prison, self imposed solitary confinement :frowning:

I still get Psychiatrist appointments, recently i have been referred for Counselling psychology, Hopefully that helps, i haven’t had therapy before.

Feels good in the short term and hurts in the long term. I really like isolating, but have learned that it is damaging to me when I overdo it.

Thanks for your help.

I have put them off for a while so not making a definitive decision

Just need some space from them for now and see how things go

They know I get like this sometimes and do respect the space I need

Probably didn’t help that I threw up my meds Saturday night

Forgot about that

Wow I stop you right there.

Never ever do that mistake.

I like to see you around.

I think I don’t have sz.

But when it’s comes down it will be in truck loads.

I can’t isolate, even if I want to, as my daughter has a key to my flat.

Full isolation is probably not great for you man, but definitely put some space between you and them and come to a verbal agreement that is what works good for you.

I don’t even see my nurse anymore, she hasn’t been to visit in like 2 months; they usuually let you be if they see you are fully compliant
