I have been on ADs for a year, but im slowly creeping back to how i was before. DP and I are on the edge of splitting, bla bla bla, im sure you are up to speed the amount i whinge on here.
So today my DP came to the doctors with me and basically told them they HAD to help me. Thankfully they have listened and the doctor has set me up for a psychiatric refferal with the community mental health team.
I am relieved, but obviously now anxious about what is going to happen next. I will apparently be assessed by a CPN and then, i don't know what. DP did ask, in his typically eloquent manner "she's not going to end up in the nut house is she?" bless him, and the doctor said no, that is pretty much out of the question. TBH i was not worried about this at all. I AM worried that of course there will be implications regarding my little girl, however she did reassure me that there is nothing to worry about.
I can hand on heart say that my illness isnt affecting my relationship with her, or ability to cope, in fact, i think im a very good mum if im honest.
Does anyone have experience of CMHTs and what might happen next?
