To discharge myself from cmht

[user1000000000000000001]

Have a MHA coming up on Wednesday with CMHT. I don't need it, I'm absolutely fine. Can I cancel it without causing an over reaction from them or social services?

You are don’t want a multidisciplinary meeting as you are worried that your children’s school will raise concerns as they have already questioned your ability to cope. If you cancel this meeting it will raise more concerns as you won’t be interacting with the agencies. You’ve been told on both threads you need to keep the meeting.

They're more likely to look closely at the children's welfare if you don't go.

MH services is not like other health services - you can't just discharge yourself and off you go.

If you have kids don’t cancel

I know. I just want the kids to be ok. It's literally all I care about

If you want your kids to be ok, you will go to the appointment and accept support. Planning suicide is not just a blip.

You really need to go and engage with them. They will want to help you prevent, anticipate and manage future 'blips',not just ignore something that caused such concern so recently. You need to go and talk it through. Nothing alarming can be done if the crisis has passed so don't worry about that. If you are in fact feeling ok, you are well enough to talk about how you can manage crisis differently in future. But if you don't go, they won't get to hear this and will be reasonably concerned about your safety. This isn't something you should dip in and out of.

I’m no expert but I just want to let you know that you’re allowed to want good things for yourself as well as for your kids.

For your kids to be ok, you need to be ok as well. I get that it's scary, but please stick with it, for your children if nothing else.
