My social worker phoned me yesterday and apologised for the way my case has been handled over the past year. She said she understood the way I reacted and that feeling attacked and cornered was understandable due to the presence of my psychiatrist, herself and a trainee psychiatrist that I'd never met before.

I was told that I was indeed referred to the assertive outreach team but it has since been disbanded in my area. I have an appointment on the 2nd September at my home with her to discuss an alternative to the AOT and assured me that despite being overdue a CPA for more than a year, a CPA will be done within the next month or so.

I feel a lot calmer now, though suffering with psychosis intermittently.

Thank you all of you for your replies, it is so very appreciated. It really helped to diffuse the situation at home slightly. I just feel exhausted and unmotivated now.

Once again thank you all
