Re: Books
Hi @foxglove! Thank you for sharing this, they sound like some great recommendations. A book I've read recently that was really good was Trevor Noah's book, Born a Crime - learned a lot but also kept entertaining!

@toffuna101 I can understand your frustrations and anger at camhs, but those meds are playing a critical role. They are keeping you somewhat safe and stable. I know it's not enough, and I know they've let you down, but stopping them might only make things worse for you. It isn't worth the risk.
yeah i guess so.
@toffuna101 it's important to take care of yourself. It's like the saying, don't bite off your nose to spite your face. Going off the meds can harm you, and that won't help anything. Hounding camhs with emails and complaints until they act is the best course of action.
i mean all camhs did today was like "oh im gonna talk to the home treatment team".like couldnt you have just done that when i went to A&E?
@toffuna101 they are truly useless pricks at times. I know it's hard right now with them offering so little, but you have to hold on until eventually you manage to get the support you need. I know this is no consolation, but there's always the chance that one day, you'll come across a mental health worker who actually does there job properly and gives you the care you deserve. It's about holding out until then.
i mean my therapist is ok its just my care coordinator and my psychiatrist is a bit dodgy at times.

@toffuna101 If you get the KFC app on your phone or parents phone, you can get some good deals on there, or even some freebies. Might be worth having a look at.
interesting @DonnerKebab i heard mcdonalds has the same thing but i usually just order as a guest there. maybe i should try it out, who knows lol.
greggs give a free doughnut for your birthday on there app, mcdonalds have a reward system (i get a free big mac every now and then as part of said reward system) and certain offers come up from time to time like £3 for a big mac and fries occasionally. It's good stuff. I don't use the KFC app as much, but you can get all sorts of stuff and they have all sorts of offers on there. Definitely worth looking at. Btw, if you're a student, add your student ID to the KFC app, verify that you're a student, and you get something free if you spend above 5 quid. It say on KFC's website that it's a free Popcorn Chicken Snack Bucket.

damn thats worth it. i might start downloading these apps then. i dont go to greggs at all but i might go on my birthday and download the app. also im not a student yet so id probably have to wait until september. im not sure if college counts as being a student as these companies only consider uni students to be eligible.
@toffuna101 don't worry, when i was in college, i was eligible for student discounts the same as at uni. KFC treated both the same. They'll give you a student email account at college, and you just need to sign up with that to something called studentbeans. It's free, and verifies your student status, and KFC will approve the student discount. Each time you go and spend £5, you get that freebie.

Re: oil art. digital :)
I totally get it, piercings can be daunting. I think the thing that really helped me was the fact that if i didn't like the piercing I could just take it out and it'd heal over. I suppose the pain can be a little off-putting too but it's quite short-lived
