This is as stable as I get people. So remembering this and a couple other things because of course
I'm the one with the super long intake and the second opinion [my husband and son's intake was less then an hour long. Mine a good 4+ hours over multiple days.] when meeting my new T. After a run down of my childhood, teen years, up until now he ask "So you're the most functional in your family?" [GAF score 50 flashing in my head]...... "Yeah, I am." All I can think about is "Really, I'm the most stable...Really?" Each time it's yes. Which really confuses me. How can I have a GAF score of 50
and I'm the most functional?
So between now and next appointment I'm updating my stand in crisis plan, instead of every now and then safety plan and Psychiatric Advance directive. Guess who's reading the baker act rules and committing them to memory.... this girl. I have to think of two therapy goals for when I'm stable. Right now I'm stable so I have no idea.
I told him how I want to get back to trusting my husband to the point he's seen as "on my side" again when delusional. So we talked about fighting fair in relationships. Which my husband and I do.
So anyone have any idea's for therapy goals when stable?
