Please Can I Have Some Support?

I'm pretty sure the meeting will go better than you think, Cracked -- I think saying it out loud is the worst part (at least it always is for me). Big hug and waiting to hear from you when you're back.

so not going to be doing too much modding jsut atm) but I wanted to fill you in.

I saw my team yesterday. I told them how I felt and I get the opinion that they think I am paranoid so now I am not sure if I should have spoken up. Wrt drugs I think I might be losing the prescription ones I am taking - my GP wants to see me. This means getting some other stuff over th counter but that is becoming a struggle to do so I might have to think about other things. I have to organise a meeting next year to discuss all of this but it has to suit about 6 busy professionals in terms of getting a time which means that it is likely not to be til Feb or March. I am worried in the interim about being made to go cold turkey. Both for physical and psychiatric reasons.

Thank you guys so much for all your support i really appreciate it.

Huge hugs

Did you tell them about your worries about going cold turkey? Could they suggest anything to help you during the next few months?

Sending love your way x

Thanks hon - they did not suggest anything but as my GP wants to see me I will try to talk to her about it - tho i suspect she wont want to do anything without the psych's permission.

Thanks so much for your support hon and everyone

I saw a BP psychologist today. I admitted I have a problem with using certain drugs to numb myself out to deal with things like my mood and other stuff. This is longstanding and used to be worse when I was working. She says she has to tell my psych and that we all need to have a meeting. I have a care plan meeting on Tuesday where it will be brought up and also have to have a meeting with my psych and the psychologist too. The psychologist thinks there is a fair bit of stuff to be addressed tho she did acknowledge the bits of me that cope well- but said that all of me needs supporting to get well. She also thinks I may well need more meds to stop myself from self medicating. I think that there is going to be a fair bit of upheaval as a result of admitting it and I am very worried about it all - I am also very worried about posting this as I think I may be judged but I also think that I need to get some support to get through it all. I am going to try to keep doing mod stuff the same but if on some days I am quiet I apologise. Thanks guys in advance for any support.

Wow cracked, this is huge. Sorry about being late to the party here, I wish I had been on the website sooner to support you. I don't know that there is much I can say that hasn't already been said in here but I would like to say I understand why you would use drugs to cope. I'm sure all of us do and there is no bad judgement that's going to happen. I've coped with so many things from drugs to escapism in videogames that it sometimes seems like my whole life is built around it.

Sorry to read that your team is thinking about paranoia and putting you through worrying about cold turkey, but you are strong and you will survive. That's what people like us do, everyday is survival so I believe in you.

huge hugs to you!

You know what scares most people most? It's making a change in their life. Our brains interpret change as death! So now that you have let your therapists in on what you might want or need to change, it's really scary! I applaud you in trying to kick the drugs that could be physically harming you and that could cause major legal problems in your life. I hope you can keep working toward your goals even when your brain is trying to tell you to stop. That feeling does go away. I have forced myself to do things that terrified me because I knew it was the right thing to do, or at least it was a chance to be happy. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much guys. Thank you for your support. I am going to try to get through this and I feel so supported to do that which makes a huge impact on trying. Things are currently tough with it all but I have got the determination to try to get past all of this.

Huge hugs
