Please Can I Have Some Support?

Thank you guys so much. I am starting to get my head round the fact that all this is now out in the open and I think that is a good thing - tho I am super worried about what is going to happen. But I do realise I could not carry on the way I was.

Huge hugs guys

Cracked,

I think you are so brave in that you told your therapist and here to us. I'm also very happy that they have taken what you said and decided to bring everyone in that help in your care. As far as you may be quiet, take your time and just know that we are here for you just as you have been for us. I wish you the best in your coming appointments. No judgements. We all do things that we shouldn't to help ourselves deal with life.

Much hugs!!

Thank you so much on - I really appreciate it. Today so far as had good and bad bits but I am still here and that is important.

Huge hugs

Hey Cracked

I want to echo what so many others have said to you. You did a very brave thing in admitting what you have to the psychologist. You have also acknowledged you're now getting your head round having told etc, that is a huge thing in itself. Be proud of yourself. Yes there maybe consequences, such as not getting that drug again or the dose you have in the past, and or your psych giving you poo about it. Remember any thoughts/feelings your psych has about it are HERS and don't take responsibility for her. They belong to her not you. You have done the right thing by finally talking about it. It is time for your support team to help, not give you more poo.

There are many people who care about you and want you to keep safe and for you to heal more from the hurt you have endured. You're a wonderful person (rushes for bucket ) You are a strong, witty, sarcastic, stroppy, caring woman. Start building on your strengths and the positive coping strategies, rather than old ones. Radical acceptance (DBT skills queen) is springing to mind. Use distress tolerance and self soothing skills if you need to on Tuesday.

Keep safe and baby steps. Don't lose sight of how far you have come.

Take care and safe hugs x

Hi guys

So I see my psych and CPN tom - my support worker is coming with me. I am not looking forward to this and I am not holding my breath re constructive help as I know that my team have a very erroneous view of who I am which affects my trust in them which in turn affects their management. I am going to try to say all this and my support worker says she will talk too so that is good. I jsut think it is going to be really awful and unsupportive and that it will make things worse - I wish I could say that that is me overreacting but I know from bad experience what they can be like and I just think it is going to be horrid. I am scared and want to cancel but I am going to try hard not to. I hate my team forming the judgements it does about me and I wish I had to have nothing to do with them. It has made me think about telling them to shove it and asking my GP to manage me but I do understand that the things going on for me are fairly complex and therefore prob do need a psych involved. I just wish she was a bit more of a compassionate and understanding person rather than someone who scares me into not talking to her about what is going on for me.

Anyhow thanks so much for the support all - really and truly appreciated

Huge hugs

Cracked,

I'm thinking about you and sending good thoughts and positive vibes your way. I pray things go much, much better than you fear.

Take good care,
Alice

Cracked - I agree with people on this thread that you're very brave for sharing. I'll add that you've been very good at moderating and your work has clearly not gone unnoticed. I appreciate everything you do here and I wish you the best.

Thanks so much guys - you are so lovely and so supportive

The meeting is this afternoon - I will keep you posted. I am so tempted to cancel but I know I should not. I guess I will have to suck it up.

Huge hugs all

Hey Cracked, remember no matter what happens at the meeting it was really brave of you to disclose, to us, to your team and yourself. also remember that you are still the great person no matter what gets said at the meeting and lots of people are here to support you no matter what after the meeting. Huge step!
