Re: not coping

I should know by this Friday. They have meetings every morning. I'm just concerned because the lady rang me back after the initial call and asked whether my mental team could be contacted about this issue. I refused on the grounds that had no knowledge of it and with a new case manager, it's not something I felt comfortable talking about at such an early stage of knowing her. I mentioned I have chronic SI, occasionally SH/SA so the might say no if they think I'm high risk. I told them today in the phone interview that I hadn't done anything in months and the last hospital admission for SA was almost 2years ago.Maybe I should not have been so honest, but apparently they do have access to some health information.

Re: not coping

its hard to know what info to give and how open to be with them @Sans911
If they dont approve it would that ATAPS service work for you? i havent used it (or not that i can remember) so im not sure if thats something that they offer.

i do hope its approved though. you would think if your a little more high risk they would approve it esp if it would help to diffuse a situation and prevent needing more of the crisis supports.

Re: not coping

Yes, my GP could do a referral to ATAPS. They're a good service to use. I did say to the woman this morning that I didn't feel unsafe or at risk at the moment, but if I didn't deal with it, I might be. So yes, in their best interests to help me you would think.

Think you lol Sis for listening. You're such a lovely person in the midst of your own stuff you always have time for me or others. And this is but a bucket in the ocean compared to what's happening for you.

I've got restless legs really bad lately @outlander and I'm starting to fade a bit, so I'll say goodnight, and catch up with you tomorrow.

Hugs my dearest sister for all your troubles.

@Former-Member@NatureLover@Lee82- you're welcome to come join us too. Sorry, I wasn't trying to exclude you.

That's sweet of you, @Sans911 , thank you, but I fell asleep. Plus I know you and Outlander have a special relationship. I hope you are OK...

@outlander sorry to hear those forms are still missing in action. Keeping fingers crossed that they're lodged today.
