    Hey @IainJammyboy, this sounds really frightening. It is really brave of you to share your experiences with us. I can really hear how distressing this is for you.

    When you say that it feels like someone has infiltrated your brain and controlling everything, can you tell us a bit more about what this feels like and where you feel out of control?

    I know you have mentioned before that you haven't always had the best experiences with support services but it is a good thing to reach out when you need it, and you certainly shouldn't be judged for it. What is your support looking like at the minute? :)

    Keep us updated with how you are doing today - we really care about you <3

    Hey @IainJammyboy, thank you for opening up about this. This sounds so tough and can't be easy to feel like you're out of control and aren't able to manage your own thoughts. Are there times where you find you are able to take back control?

    That sounds like a really positive step to take in asking for a referral to the early psychosis intervention team. Have you been able to reach out to them yet?

    Let us know how you're doing, we really care about you 💛

    Hey @IainJammyboy,

    Just dropping by here to say you've done a really brave thing by trying to reach out to your CMHT, and it sounds frustrating that they've not been able to offer you the support that you were looking for so far.

    You've mentioned that you're worried that things will reach a point where they're completely out of control. Am I hearing that right, Iain? Do you have a sense of what the indicators would be that you were reaching that point of things being out of control? We really appreciate your trust in opening up to us about this. You're doing really well.

    Take good care, and we'll speak soon.
