Has anyone ever heard of or done a "crisis plan" before? I am thinking about doing one with my Support Worker and I have been looking at it and its making me feel anxious and scared.
The questions are the following
1. When I am well, I am (describe yourself when you are feeling well):
2. The following symptoms indicate that I am no longer able to make the decisions for myself, that I am no longer able to be responsible for myself or to make appropriate choices:
3. When I clearly have some of the above symptoms, I want the following people to make decisions for me, see that I get appropriate treatment and to give care and support:
4. I do not want the following people involved in any capacity, in my care or treatment(list the names and optionally why you do not want them involved):
5. Preferred medication and why?
6. Acceptable medications and why?
7. Unacceptable medications and why?
8. Acceptable treatments and why?
9. Unacceptable treatments and why?
10. Home/Community Care/Respite options?
11. Preferred treatment facilities and why?
12. Unacceptable treatment facilities and why?
13. What I want from my supporters when I am experiencing these symptoms?
14. What I don't want from my supporters when I am experiencing these symptoms?
15. What I want my supporters to do if I'm a danger to myself or others?
16. Things I need others to do for me, and whom I want to do it?
17. How I want disagreements between my supporters settled?
18. Things I can do for myself?
19. I (give/do not give) permission for my supporters to talk with each other about my symptoms and to make plans to assist me.
20. Indicators that supporters no longer need to use this plan:
Some of the questions make it all seem too real. My support worker has said there is no harm in doing one which I guess is true. I have been seeing a support worker for over a year and have always declined doing one. Now I am in a depression I think I need to do one just incase.
Any views/thoughts on this?
