I put "Going it alone" because I'm unmedicated, but it's not strictly true that I am alone - I went off meds under supervision, and keep in touch with my Pdoc for quarterly reviews and to be sure I have her support if things start to get out of hand.
I haven't seen my T for 8 months, but I need to find someone who is prepared to work with me while I'm not doped up. Just mention hallucinations, paranoia and confusion to your average psychologist and its amazing how quickly their eyes glaze over.

I tried a couple of community support groups. One folded as numbers dwindled, and the other I went to once and got very strange vibes. My psychologist later gave me a cryptic warning to avoid that particular hospital (where that group met). (plays soundtrack from Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho")
