my cpn cares about me a bit but nobody else does so you're not alone

they only saw me because I lost about 15 kg in what seemed a really short space of time and my family (adult children) were worried - have pulled self together a bit since then but not enough for their target driven ways, they keep trying to make me make use of BEAT meetings instead

I did 10-6 st in 4 months during the lonely days of my pgce. I was signed off from uni because I kept fainting (so had no money) and was given 20mg fluoxetine. Not the finest moment of general nhs care I feel as the no income meant I couldn't buy food even if I wanted to.

This is why I pay for it. Lovely therapist is always lovely. Oh well.

Mitchy1nge · 27/01/2015 22:59

that's so shit of them :(

am glad you have lovely therapist

I do believe in the gospel of Personal Responsibility but I don't care how isolating my mental disorders try to be, I am never going to be the type to cope with Going Through It Alone and I would like help from people who actually understand me, which hasn't happened yet

so am in reality just going through it alone but also driving everyone else insane by wailing about how ridiculously fat I am all the time

DP defrosted some fish on the cooker top a week ago and now the whole house stinks of rotten fish every time one of us uses the oven. The cookertop has been wiped several times so it must be in the gubbins Sad

I hope she's on the mend now.

Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 09:56

glad to hear she seems a lot better, hope today is easier Millie

Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 10:02

have just received first pics of friend and new baby :) she looks like a renaissance madonna (apart from the clothes and nhs bed sheets etc) made me unexpectedly weepy

is a boy so won't know his name for a week

toothpasteinthetree · 28/01/2015 10:37

Morning all. Sending love to Millie's DD.

I met up with colleague this morning. She was telling me about a friend of hers who has mental health issues. I couldn't work out whether she was doing this as an invitation for me to open up more to her, or as a way of conveying that I should be grateful that things aren't as bad for me as they are with her friend. I am clueless and useless at all forms of human interaction and completely unable to ask for help, and trying to reassure myself that I'm simply a bit spectrummy doesn't help at all Sad.

toothpasteinthetree · 28/01/2015 10:40

(And she also concurred that Colleague #2 does indeed appear to be ignoring, though I didn't dare ask why she thought that was. It's probably obvious, and I'm just oblivious.)

I wonder if she's trying to signal "I'm comfortable with people with MH problems".

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 11:54

yeah it sounds like 'I'm aware of and comfortable around these things'

toothpasteinthetree · 28/01/2015 11:57

Thanks. Most people aren't comfortable, so that's good to know.

Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 12:13

I don't know why I copied enpo's wording, I think I thought those were my own thoughts

anyway am glad you got such a positive and supportive reaction to your disclosure, your instincts must be sound

Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 12:24

I wonder if I am factitiously very slightly mildly a tiny bit depressed or something Hmm keep cancelling everything and everyone in favour of lying down and being Absurdly Fat - also started crying on way out of a meeting this morning (was not an upsetting sort of event) because my left calf is so tender and sore even to walk, right where that tendon merges the soleus and gastroc muscles, and have hardly been doing any running lately

know am on sub-therapeutic dose of lithium though so I suppose it would be easy enough to fix if it wasn't somehow so enormously burdensome to go and have a test

CaulkheadUpNorth · 28/01/2015 12:26

Could you have blood taken this week? Are you walking past animals with talking to them?

Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 12:30

hah, no, am molesting them as much as ever

it's not that simple, the test, I have to: phone and make appointment, keep appointment

so you can see it's really not easy

CaulkheadUpNorth · 28/01/2015 12:33

Does your cmht building place have a drop in? Mine does every Friday and then anyone can pop in during that time.

Oh crap have cross posted with loads of more recent replies, please ignore. Sorry things are a bit crap Mitch.

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 28/01/2015 12:55

there isn't a drop in but it is really very easy to make an appointment

I guess I could make the appointment, I don't have to actually go?
