Mental Health - is anybody willing to help me with my homework??

[filthymindedvixen]

This is very cheeky but I am desperate. Due to family crises, I am horribly behind with my homework...
I urgently need to talk to someone with a diagnosed mental health problem about interventions and your needs. It can by done via MSN, telephone, email whatever and it will be totally confidential. and my discretion on MN goes without saying.
If you feel you might be able to help, please feel free to change your name and let me know. I will CAT you (or you can CAT me). I'd like to 'interview' you on Tuesaday evening, time to suit you. Nature of illness is not a problem, could be PND, psychosis, Bi-polar whatever.

I will be eternally grateful...
Thanks in advance

i'm game, but when you say 'interventions and your needs' what exactly do you mean?

what are you studying FMV???

ok, I think I mean, what have you been prescribed to deal with your condition and how has it met your needs.

For example, were you referred for counselling because you needed to talk through your experiences or needed help to change your thinking.
Or were you referred to a support group where you could meet other people with similar problems for support. Or were you prescribed medication to combat symptoms etc
I need to be specific about YOUR needs as a service user.

I'm doing a certificate in community mental health, but this month, my family needs (not to mention work) have kind of got in the way of studying.

i had a lot of treatment for PND, but it ended a while ago...but if i can help you can email me

I'll do it for you if you like.
Have posted a bit about it recently anyway but am happy to talk via msn if you like.

Can do tues eve after 7pm

am going to bed now but if you want me to do it, just CAT me and I'll send you my MSN addy.

Or if you have theirs, Cod, Lulumama and Pecka have it so just get ot off them.

thanks , you are stars. I will CAT you all tomorrow as I could do with a range of differing conditions - if that's not being too demanding! . (I can't put my email on here as tis my RL name.)

I may be able to help but am in the US. Not sure if that makes a difference. I have had lots of treatment . Did have treatment in the UK too, but about 10 years ago.

not sure I want to put my 'condition' on here but if I can be of any help you can email me:

busy mamama @ gmail.com (no gaps)

mamama, please don't , I'd say you were in good company.
I think it needs to be about UK services, but I very much appreciate your help.
Should add, doesn't have to be female, if anyone's dp wants to do it, it's also fine.

I would happily oblige but as I'm in Ireland it would probably not be relevant but maybe as a comparitive? Anyhoo, if I can help, feel free to cat me.

not sure you can cat me but feel free to email - r dot godbehear at ntlworld dot com.
