Hi Phillipa,

My parents do look after my meds, when I went into hospital they bought a safe and now they "administer" them to me like they're a pair of nurses! ha ha

I feel safer with it like that, plus I feel they're more involved and I like that. And I think they like being a bit more involved and part of things too. I dunno.

Oh the tabs were in wrappers, they were ok. My mum used to wake me early and give me Seroquel coz it would send me to nod nod land, and if I waited till I'd got up and then taken them, I'd be asleep all day long probably! Now I'm on Abilify, she leaves them out for me and i take them when I get up (altho on this occasion, I went downstairs to get some milk to take them with, and i forgot all about them). Abilify really wakes me up, so if I took them early I'd be buzzing around the house, ha ha.

Actually I'm having a really crap evening. Can I explain? Well over the last two weeks, every time I've felt weird or been experiencing things, I've rang up or gone down to see my social worker Helen. I have a pdoc and a social worker. Now I was under the impression that they all worked together, and therefore anything that I relayed to Helen would automatically be forwarded to my doc. They all work in the same building/offices etc.

Anyway today I go down to see Helen, and she says "yes you must remember to tell all of this to Johanna (my doc)" and I was like what?!! I can't believe it. I've got to go over it all and explain it again.

Am I being totally unreasonable? I just thought I'd see what you guys think. I thought we all worked together, type of thing. Now I feel like, what was the point telling Helen about everything in great detail when I have to go relay it to my doctor again anyway. I dunno. I guess I just feel relief when I explain something. And now I've got to go back over it all again.

I dunno. What do you think? Do any of you have similar problems? Am I just being a bit of a spoilt brat, wanting them to do all these things for me?

I feel like I'm just doing it to get attention. That's what it's made me feel like. I mean, it's like I'm going "ne-naw ne-naw, I'm ill, please tell the doctor, I'm very important, look at me, I'm ill, look, look at my symptoms, la de da".

When I don't think I am doing it to get attention. Do you think I am?? I was just under the impression that Helen was in cahoots with the doctor. Obviously I would still have doc appointments, but at least she would know a little about what's been going on...instead of me having to relay it all again.

Oh I dunno

Anyway I'm tired. My dad said he will ring Helen for me tomorrow, coz I can't bare to tell her the truth, I'm worried it will offend her, or maybe she'll think "oh Katie just wants attention from the doctor, that's why she wants me to fill the doctor in on all that's been happening". When I don't think that's true.

Anyway nightnight my dears.

speak soon xxxxxxxxxx
