My Mosaic

Well that freaking escalated. Should not of sent that email. So stupid

What has happened @Bow ?

😯🙏

Sending the email was the right thing to do Bow. It may cause some temporarily uncomfortable issues, but you can get through those.

Persevere sweetheart ... you are on the right track. Recovery is never easy.

@Emelia8 My psych called the comm mh team cause she is concerned about me. The comm team are useless. I've seen them a couple of times in recent months and they do nothing. They are questions, I leave and them hear nothing from them. They did no follow up when I was discharged from hospital before Christmas. Just useless.
they called me, I have to go see them. I told them I don't see the point because they don't actually help. If I don't turn up they will come to my house. And worse for some unknown reason they had my ex as my next of kin. I have no idea how they have his details. I've never seen them while with him. I was fuming. Still am.
I feel so overwhelmed now. I'm angry. In a panic. I can't keep doing this. No point.

Okay 2 things @Bow

1. If you have not already spoken to your psych (missed call) can you call her back? Im guessing she contacted the comm team when she could not reach you.

2. Can you contact the comm mh team, and ensure they change your next of kin details. Remove the ex, and maybe put your Mum in as a replacement.

One thing at a time.

@Emelia8 i tried calling her back, she has clients all day. i have briefly responded to her email reply. maybe she will call when she has time.

and yes, i asked them to change my next of kin and i will make sure it has been done when i go there tomorrow. i just dont undertand how they even have his details.

Hi @Bow, it sounds like you've had some bad experiences with that community mental health team, and I'm sorry to hear you haven't found them to be helpful. I can understand how triggering it must have been to hear your ex had been listed as your next of kin too- I hope you were able to get this sorted out.

Your overwhelm, anger and panic all seem like completely understandable responses to what's happened. It can be hard to sit with when the same problems seem to come up again and again. Wishing you strength to get through.

lots of bad experiences @TideisTurning they tend to see me, ask a million questions and then send me on my way and then discharge me from their service., this has been the case a number of times. last time i seen them after a recent hospital admission, they were suppose to follow me up, they didnt, it took a phone call from my gp for them to see me and again i go and see them, talk and then nothing. they dont return phone calls. i just dont see the point in going to see them. alot of anxiety for nothing.

Nearly time for our chai latte @Emelia8

ive had a phone call with my psych this morning, she is lovely and is just concerned. I had a good chat with her. She really wants me to see my gp ASAP, which I have only been able to get into see at the same time as the comm mh team tomorrow morning, so need to change that- they are more flexible. I have left a message for them to call me back- let's see if they actually do.
my psych has suggested I print the email out and take it with me to my gp appointment and said that I expressed myself well in written words and said that maybe that is a good option going forward since I find it so difficult to verbalise things.

Things still feel a huge mess but maybe a tiny little bit of light.

How did your session go today @Emelia8 ?

That's great to hear @Bow! I can certainly relate to finding it easier to write things out then verbalise- you've written a lot to us here on the Forums- I'm wondering if it might be helpful to print some of these threads out to take along with you? Hope all goes well! 😊
