They don't care Kureha. Sorry to say that, but it's true. The only thing you can do is get the injection and keep asking each time for the aripiprazole

Whether they're happy about a re-referral or not is tough. IMO they shouldn't have discharged you after only 3 months, but times are tough and budgets are tight so corners get cut. I really hope they don't dismiss you as a hypochondriac but it wouldn't surprise me with NHS MH services being what they are.

I told him my parents are away & he said I should try & get some social contact but I have no friends here. The friend I saw last week won't be back up permanently for another week or so.
I hate waiting. |
Can you go to a coffee shop or something to be a bit more social? Two weeks isn't that long a wait for the NHS or a psych, but waiting is hard

I'm glad you went even though you didn't want to. I never want to do my voluntary work either, but I go anyway because people are counting on me and I made a commitment. Poor kitties, probably feeling all lonely without the others.

Hi Gr3tta!
Nice to see you
I had my voluntary work today. They are nagging me to help out more, but I can barely manage the little I do now...god, I'm pathetic! When I told them a few weeks ago I wasn't returning back to Uni this year, they were so happy! It never even occurred to them that it might be because I wasn't doing so well. Sometimes I feel like I'd have to set myself on fire for anyone to notice that something was up
And then I get angry with myself for not 'making it' after all the faking I do. T actually told me that earlier; to 'fake it til I make it'! I've been faking being ok for most of my life and have yet to actually make it!! How many times do I have to tell myself that the sky is purple (and other things that I know to be untrue) before I actually start to believe it???
