CMHT. Really don’t get them

Got an apology today from my psychiatric nurse who does my depot about something that was said last week.

I’m still interested in switching my depot to pills so she is going to ask about that. Then she said she would come to see me anyway on Wednesday which is when I’m supposed to have my depot and let me know about switching to pill form.

Then I get a text from my support worker who works with her saying is it ok for my nurse to come with her on Thursday together instead of just my nurse coming on Wednesday.

I mean are they afraid of me or something cos they know they have pissed me off ? And think I’m gonna kick off ? Why suddenly would they want to come together ?

So the lady who’s nice wants to come with the mean lady?

To make a more rounded decision, I think. They prob want to check that all is well and your choice is free and calculated rather than brash or arbitrary. Ultimately, you should be involved in your care and how it’s delivered.

Im glad to hear they apologised to you though. Thats a good thing!

Something about this situation smells. It stinks rotten to the core. I don’t trust them at all.

Keep us posted. I reckon its just for support and to make sure you are making a clear decision. I could be wrong.

She is in clinic at the moment. Hopefully I get a call back.

I’m 50/50 about the depot at the moment. Lost a lot of trust.

They won’t switch my depot to pills. Saying I’ve done so well on it and havnt been in hospital so they won’t.

Really feel stuck. Why does it have to be depot or nothing. Surely if I quit the depot they would give me pills.

its easier to forget to take pills and even easier to just get fed up and not take them and I think because they know your doing ok atm and have been for a while, I guess they don’t want to jeopardise things, that’s my take on it.
