I don’t know how to get out of this situation

I don’t want to see my psychiatric nurse on Friday. And I definitely don’t want to see my psychiatrist either but she has booked me in to see him.

She wanted to call my mother today but I thankfully talked her out of it. I’m 42 and don’t need my mother gas lighting me.

She is turning up af my house on Friday to see me and if I am not here when she comes which I don’t want to be I am worried she will ring my mother.

I may ring reception tomorrow and tell them my mum has changed her phone number and give them a fake number so when they update it on the system

How do I get out this situation. I just want to be left alone.

I’ve had my depot this month but I’m worried if I don’t get it next month they will start ■■■■■■■ with my medication and forcing me to have it even if I am fine.

You were doing very well, and now everything seems upside down. It might be because you were a week late getting your depot.

I suggest you keep your appointments and then they’ll be over before you know it. If you cancel them or postpone them, it’ll only drag things out.

Definitely don’t give them a fake phone number for your mother.

I hope things start to return to normal for you soon.

You probably going to have to deal with your pdoc at some point or another. Even though, I think its a bad idea to go off meds, you are probably going to have to tell your pdoc directly that you would like to try coming off.

I don’t know if you have come off before, but the first time I went off, I told my pdoc directly that I was going to. If its the first time they may give you the leeway to try it to make sure you are indeed schizophrenic. If you have unsuccessfully gone off before you will probably meet more resistance.

Again, I think it will probably not work out well for you if you go off, but if you are going to try , all these people will find out eventually and you are better off just telling them directly that you are going to try it.

I don’t know what the rules are where you live, but here, they seem to give you the option to fail until you are actually court ordered to take your medication. If you are not court ordered, they will probably give you a chance to go off, as bad as an idea that it probably is.

But hiding it is not a good idea anyway. You should have supervision to make sure that if you start to lose it, someone is there to help you get back on track and it doesnt escalate into forced committals and court orders.

I’m the happy user of a depot meds that I’ve had for 29 years with no break. I find injection very helpfully especially if you got problems with compliance. I’m scheduled to have my next injection in 2 days at 7 o’clock at the health clinic.

God I hate when doctors or mental health workers meddle in my life. As long as I’m not in a crisis I should be left alone. They have no right trying to “make sure I’m on my meds etc”. I’m not sure if that’s what your saying but if it were me I would tell them to buzz off lol

I think you are being hard headed and foolish for stopping your meds…you could lose your children from this…and personally I would rather see them with your ex husband than see you have them untreated from ap’s.

I keep them at an arms length but stay on books as insurance

You can ask to have your mother removed as a contact and they have to do what you say if you have capacity
