I had an appointment with my case manager from CADS (City Alcohol and Drug Service) yesterday, who's a clinical psychologist as well as a drug counsellor, and the whole time he just sat there telling me about his "observations" and going through all these treatment plans that he'd devised. I barely got a single word in during the entire hour. I'm sick of this... I entered CADS looking for help for my drug problem. Not my mental health problems. I've already been in the public Mental Health Service, and I left due to unsuccessful treatment. I'm not ready for the DBT therapy CADS is offering me. It's too intense and I know it will break me emotionally. There's some things I want kept in the dark recesses of my mind, rather than being pulled out into the light of day. At my next appointment, I think I'll be telling him that I want to quit the service.
