May we ask whether you're still being supervised by your dad and how that's feeling?
ive considered reaching out to childline but honestly i don't feel like reaching out today, i feel that i cope on my own today by distracting myself. im still being supervised by my dad which makes me feel safe.
i’m really proud of you
im coping, i think i can manage these bad thoughts today. thanks for asking.
thanks
ok im talking to a helpline right now which is good.
@toffuna101 good luck with it all friend. Hopefully they've finally give you the support you need.
It might help as well if you wrote down some of your thoughts and feelings and everything you've experienced, just on a piece of paper, and put it into bullet points to go over during your camhs appointment. It will make it easier to get every point you have across and ensure nothing gets missed rather than thinking everything on the spot. It might just help a bit.
i could but i dont have paper or a pen.
A phone or tablet could work. If not, don't worry. It's just a little trick that might be helpful, but you'll do great either way at getting everything across @toffuna101
Remember, We're here for you afterwards, however it goes for you.
thanks. ill tell you all how it goes
@toffuna101 It's been a tough day for you then. This is the last thing you need right now. If they don't stop, you might have to make a noise complaint about them cause there are noise laws in place for things like this.
yeah i tried to send in an enquiry about this to my local council but they didnt do anything.
@toffuna101 It might be a good idea to just drop the police on a non emergency line a message, and record the noise if you can.
idk how to. i tried to report it online but it said that noise complaints can only be done through my local council.
@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 you may have to keep pursuing it with your council until they listen. Councils are notoriously slow to react or respond unless pushed to do so at every step of the way. I wish i could give you some better advice than this but there really isn't much more i can say friend.
yeah i might have to do that because im sick of my neighbour playing music at night.
@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.
