Morning All,

Had my last appointment with the shrink today... seems to think I'll be fine if I keep on the SSRIs for a while. Good things are moving in the right direction. :)

Have you been going long Chat (if you don't mind me asking)? It was so weird in my final session after I'd been going so long. It's such a weird one sided relationship I wasn't really sure what was appropriate even though this person had helped me a lot. Went for an awkward hug :p
 
Free from Shrinkdom already, Chat? Well done. Just keep taking the pills and don't use it as an excuse to think 'eveything's normal, where are the drugs?'.

Wibz, I know all about the awkward release at the end of those sessions: shrink maintaining professional faceade in front of obviously-emotional patient. I've had lots of near-teraful handshakes. Apart from the last appointment, where she felt I was possibly being hypersexual and made a point of keeping a safe distance.

Bless these people. Their jobs must be intense.
 
Thanks guys.

Yeah Sammy, not using it as an excuse but I may have sampled a tiny bit of the coke I have... so much for my month of sobriety. Can always start over tomorrow.

Em, I started going properly in June, was first seen at the start of May. It kind of seemed of limited use but I got some good worksheets & stuff to do with cognitive thinking errors & the like. Problem is I have trouble when asked something like "what makes you feel anxious"... my mind just goes blank. :D
 
Just been to see key worker. She said I shouldn't have reduced to 4 mg as it was too big a step. Asked if I can reduce to 8 mg n she said yes she 'll get my scrips changed n gave me two prescriptions - so that's the next for-weeks suboxone sorted.

Ooo aint I lucky with so many :D

Ah I see, NHS ting? I ended up going private because what's on offer on the NHS was pretty paltry.
 
Besides the quite obvious underfunding and the consequences thereof, I feel I've been treated splendidly by NHS mental health services.

It can take a lot of time patience and sometimes a bit of assertivess on the part of the patient, but it can work well for people with certain conditions. I'm not saying every trust is the same; that's be ridiculous. There's an awful lot which the NHS can offer though.

And that's from somebody who once would have described the available NHS services as 'paltry' at best.

Evey: Fling 'em my way.
 
Yes, I agree... I had a lot of waiting & had to push a lot but eventually this time I got some great help.

I've found the NHS to be a bit hit & miss. I've seen both sides of it to be fair.

I didnt get offered anything via the NHS over recent years, i was told to use the ineternet to find someone/somewhere myself, i didnt know where to begin, and it wasnt until i got myself into a hell of a mess and was on the verge of a breakdown that i was referred to a charitable support agency, where i eventually found the right people to help me see me through the worst of times.

Sorry to hear that, MDB. That's terrible.

I actually worked for the NHS once; LMB. Basically dealt with the primary care stuff. Wales equivalent to Primary Care Trusts.

I'm VERY happy with my service off the NHS very happy :D

That's rubbish. I think you generally have to be in a pretty bad way before the NHS will send you to a psychiatrist, even though early intervention should be key. And then I found the period of treatment just wasn't long enough and my options were join a therapeutic group or go away.

Because you couldn't pay me to take it.

Lol have you ever tried it? To be honest it's hard to get euphoric off it but there are ways around that.

Suboxone is an extremely controversial drug with people either loving it or hating it n sites for n against it.

Is it the same for methadone? If not why not. I don't see much on methadone apart from one place believe it or not.
