Hi TJ, sounds like you have a really good plan of action and support in place for the future. Maybe it can help give you just a bit of "peace of mind"/confidence for if...............??
As for phoning the crisis team when/if things are hard though, well perhaps see it more as you taking some control and positive action in reducing the possibility of having to go back to hospital. So, no need to wait until things are "critical" hey?
The sooner you call them if you see the signs coming, the easier it may be for that support to kick in/work.
And you know coming down from real "crisis" point is going so much harder than coming down from nearing that, and take so much more out of you (and not just the immediate effects either, right?).
But your stay at home..............I know there have been some difficult things to get through but.........other stuff......wow!!! Even comparing it to your last stay at home..........come on, even you've got to be impressed with you!!!
And the darker times.........maybe it's about accepting a bit that they may/possibly will come, afterall you're still "finding your feet" and improving on your list of things that might help and your coping skills, after all you've been through/are sometimes still going through- doing a great job of it, but work in progress, yes?.
So when they come, please don't be thinking that you're failing, you're not "up to it", it's beaten you again............just do what you can to work through them (you know they won't stay) and reach out for help/support. You deserve it!!!
