It's no secret that with my move I once again fear my mental health team. I know at times I can look like I'm a danger to my son, but is a far feched possibility. My new team doesn't know this and I'm unsure if they will involve the authorities when I'm unstable. So I would like to know if anyone has had child protective involved because of mental health issues? What happened and is it resolved?

I've been following your posts and I think you're borrowing worry from tomorrow. Instead of worrying that they may become involved down the track just put all the effort you possibly can into getting and staying stable and well so that they have no grounds to become involved.

Do you have cps or no? I do have them involved. I had a suicide attempt 3 years ago and they were called in.

Unlived- I have given up on the whole long term stability thing. It only causes new less pleasant issues for me. It's not in my cards. Learning how to manage with little meds is best. I am capable of. I am going to find out if abilify can replace my current meds but I refuse to add one thing on top of the other. For me dealing is my only option. BP is actually far less of a hell then the things I deal with while "stable ".

Yagalada - what are your requirments to keep/ get your children?

You value your relationship with your son and how CPS can interfere with that? Pursue stability, and definitely remain med compliant. Do not give anyone ammunition that can be used against you no matter how unfair it may seem to be to you. I have avoided many disasters approaching similar problems in this way.

Be a pragmatist. Just do what you know you need to do to protect what is important to you. It being not fair or "unreasonable" or difficult or "impossible" is irrelevant.

Still, at this point, I think that you may have more immediate concerns. You are worrying about something that may never happen. So right now I would not lose any sleep over this concern of yours. You are just giving yourself more stress.

Oh I have my son The worker comes to my house once a month and checks in. Makes sure I go to therapy and my doc. Calls my therapist and asks if there are any concerns. The worker is nice enough but I get paranoid. I also feel like I cant really engage in therapy because he calls there. I always worry he's going to get dismissed from my case and I am going to get a horrible case worker who will take my son.

I think that you may have more immediate concerns like what?

[Tucson]

Your fears that has arisen from the stress over your move. You are still getting situated, right? And even though your fear of being a danger to your son is far fetched, I think you need to address this in some way. You do not need fears like that in your life. Minimize the stress. Deal with the day to day problems. I think you will be just fine.

Seeing T in the morning I hope he can deal with the crappy mixed week I've been having and doesn't suggest IP. Since I'm treating him like former T (who wouldn't suggest it right now) I'd begrudgingly listen to him.

Hell, maybe my son is better with CPS anyway.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you feel this way and that you're in this situation x

Thinking of you!

How did your appointment go ?

[Victoria'smom]

I'm in a mixed state. My thoughts are betraying me I was supose to go to a clinic to get my scripts filled and try to get chewable or desolvable meds since im getting the urge to purge the meds as when I take them. Clinics can't fill psych meds here told us to go to ER. That's not going to happen. I was asked if I had any plans or intention to harm myself or others. He'll see me on the 26th if there's no openings sooner. We went over my crisis plan. He asked when Miguel and my husband have apointments. He would like me to call if anything and I'm on his cancelation list.
