OK so wasn’t a CPN, she’s a social worker, but she’s going to support me jointly with a CPN who will come next week for at least the next few weeks. She’s v happy that I’ve taken 2 months off to try and get better. Told her I was scared of everything spiralling out of control, …ODing, running away, police being called, etc. very last thing I want is to end up in hospital god knows where and be on daily med pickups for the rest of the year. Must remember that to counter the planning.

Good news is there is sick pay for up to 12 weeks after all! I just need the SW to ask one of the doctors for medical evidence justifying my absence. She’s also going to ask about PRN sleep meds.

@purplepadma Well done, that is a lot to have achieved while you are unwell. I am glad there is some sick pay too!

Hope CPN/SW can help halt any decline and spiral and help you turn things around to be better for you.

@NatalyaD I felt better this afternoon after getting some support and finding out about the sick pay. My mood has dropped again as usual as I head towards bedtime

@purplepadma Ugh to droppy mood despite a lift. Hope that improves soonest and you can get through the bad bit.

@NatalyaD I’m just trying to get through until 9pm then I’ll try and go to sleep. I’ve been doing a lot of sleeping to escape my feelings, I know I’m supposed to learn to “sit with” them but honestly I can’t

This all sounds like it was a good visit with hopeful steps for the future. 💜

@Sharonbw Yes, it made me feel a little better/safer. Tom and I are not all on our own with it now

@purplepadma That sounds like a good step forward. Very glad it went well, and I hope her support is useful when the CPN comes around.
