i may get in contact with my psychiatrist then sooner than one month.
@toffuna101 hopefully. if you send an email just talking about how things are for you, your psychiatrist may be able to give you some stopgap help, even if only through email exchange until your session. And it might also help your psychiatrist to better understand your situation so your not having to explain everything entirely from scratch in your first meeting with them.
yeah.
Would you feel comfortable telling the people you live with if you were feeling unsafe or in crisis? I'm also wondering how you found speaking to childline last night and if they could be an option?
i guess so. i mean ive made some mistakes in the past but thats what makes us human.
well, i just try to think about positive things at night. i told my parents. i talked to childline in the early hours of the morning and that was alright i guess. theres nothing much they could do other than listen.
yeah i hope they help me. maybe i need to have the home treatment team again but i doubt theyll refer me.
I'm also wondering how you are you feeling about them passing it onto your CAMHS team? I hear you are wanting some practical support so I'm wondering if this is the outcome you was wanting if you feel comfy sharing?
@River just know we all care about you deeply. You're a good friend and i'm sorry i've not been much support tonight with everything going on. I know how much your battling with right now, and your unique fight, and i just want you to know, we all support you and are here for you.
@River just because i've got this crap on with the Mix, doesn't mean i'm not gonna offer you what support i can friend. You deserve support, and it doesn't matter if this lot are being wrong and unjust to me, or if I was in the trenches of the somme like my namesake, i'm still here for you no matter what and still gonna offer you what support i can friend.
@River perhaps the greatest magic trick in the history of magic, maybe ever
i dont know honestly, i just feel numb to it all.
@toffuna101 emotional numbness is preferable to pain, but isn't a long term fix. It might help you to hang on until you see your psychiatrist in a month though. We're here for you friend.
my dad is going to try and book an emergency appointment with the psychiatrist by emailing him tomorrow.
