Just had initial assessment appointment for CBT. One of the questions was whether I had ever harmed myself, and I told him that I had taken an overdose 15 years ago when I was going through some problems at uni. It was silly, it was a cry for help, my flatmate took me to the hospital and all was fine.
He asked a lot of questions about it, and a lot about whether I ever thought about harming myself now, to which the answer was a definite no. I am seeing him for depression, brought on by the end of my marriage.
I'm a single parent and now I'm panicking that they could see this as my children being at risk. Am I worrying over nothing? I wish I hadn't mentioned it, it was so long ago and not relevant to my problems now at all.
