Everyone is welcome.

I don't know Chap. Ambivalence about meds is understandable - have you written down the pros and cons and tried to work out whether your cons are 1) an accurate representation of reality and 2) bad enough to cancel out the pros?

It is very quiet today.

In the nicest way I can say it, Just Take The Tablets.

Do you have a specific fear about the meds, Chap? Or some Millie-esque self sabotage?

Ennn · 13/02/2015 16:58

Perhaps then instead of "bedtime" you should schedule a specific by-the-clock time, and set an alarm. Rather than before-this or after-that.

Do they have to be at night?

(I feel really fucking odd)

If you get bad side effects Chap you can always come off the meds again.

How are you feeling up? It's good to see you.

Millie2013 · 13/02/2015 18:02

They were kind, but they made it very clear that either I did what they said, or I would end up locked up in the section 136 suite. Sad I nearly ended up in A&E, luckily my cmht agreed to see me so that didn't happen.

Don't feel like that chapuys, everyone is important.

Glad the police were kind. Have you decided what to do with yourself this evening? Is someone coming to do dinner?

Someone from the crisis team is coming later. As is a carer (hopefully not at the same time Hmm ). No, I don't want to be locked up, if I did I would have pushed for admission (the local wards are locked). I bought some junk on my way back from the hospital.
