Hey :-)
> I think maybe you could give yourself some of the advice you give me? :-)
Ah. Its hard for me to see what to say in my case sometimes...
So much easier to say what I think about other peoples...
Thats why other people (who have a little distance) can help so very much.>I think I know what you mean when you say that you try to get help, but then people seem like they don't want to help you so then you feel like you have to prove that you need help. This whole "proving" oneself can get dangerous sometimes, but it is the only way people will pay attention to us.
Yeah. It really does seem that way sometimes. And sometimes... I really think it is that way. I think it can be different when you are working with a clinician, though. Because they get to know you and you can work out a plan of action for crisis situations beforehand.
For me...
At this point I think I have a 'do not admit' comment on my file. When I phone CAT they typically put you off till they have seen your file... And they look for the CAT reccomendation or something like that... And, well, I'm not so sure that any of the stuff there is very up to date. And I think there is a 'no admit' statement there. And so when I ring they are so very intent on getting me the hell off the phone. It was different when I was working with a p-doc. Because I'd call him and I'd feel that I could say 'I really think I'm losing it and I need a couple of days / a week to get on some meds and find the path again' and that was listened to. But without a p-doc onside... Not so.
> I have the same problem. It's horrible to think that others do not care. Sometimes it feels like I have to do something really horrible just to prove that I'm suffering.
Yeah. Though thats not the way...
Something is going wrong :-(
I really think that is why it is so very important to have a clinician onside.
Even when one has one onside sometimes one has to put up with all sorts of sh*t from the nurses...
But it is easier to bite ones lip when someone believes in you...((((Deneb)))))
Thanks so much.
Just knowing that other people feel like this sometimes helps
And knowing that the feeling passes
(Thats so very hard to remember)
But knowing that the feeling passes
And that things won't always seem that way
Really is very important
But sometimes its hard to remember that for yourself
And so other people are invaluable.And you help me too :-)
