Over the past few days, been getting some very strong inclination towards cutting again (been 4 months since I last did... and I have had good stretches like this before)... strong intrusive thoughts that I can't really give a reason for... I suppose I have just been feeling very unsettled. My point of contact (community psychiatric nurse) is on holiday, so I left a voice mail asking if a duty worker could call me (this was about 5 hours ago). In the mean time I text my support worker (who is also on holiday.... my timing is wonderful
 ) and after a brief conversation it transpired that I was putting her in an awkward position as ideally she should forward this information on (to cover her own back)... I understand this reasoning and in some ways it's clarrified what her remit is.... but it's also shut the only other door for getting these thoughts out of my head (sharing does sometimes work).Meh, figured I'd type it out here in the hope of some moral support  I know at the end of the day the buck stops with me if I do or do not... but needed to speak to someone without feeling it'll bite me in the arse in some way

Did a duty worker get back to you? I hope you manage to stay strong, 4 months is great!

Yeah, my wife called up the health team asking on my behalf... I was feeling miserable and lacked the energy to bother. transpired my CPN wasn't actually on holiday till Wednesday and she took the call. Had a bit of a chat and it did help. She listened to what I had to say re the support worker and put things into perspective that I hadn't considered (could be the aspergers... could just be me, dunno) and after re-clarifying with the support worker, my cpn's advice was spot on.. which was good.

I'm glad you got to speak to someone in the end. Keep posting here if it helps you get through. Are you able to see you CPN or someone soon while you are struggling?

If it gets really bad then yeah, a duty worker (other cpn) might do a house visit if necessary... I'd rather try to avoid that though. I next see my cpn Monday coming.

Posting here could be a good thing for you and maybe give someone else some insight as well!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
