Angela Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi, I saw my therapist today and we spoke about my new keyworker, as my nurse from the day hospital is leaving at the end of the month. I am not coping very well with the change as i have been seeing my nurse for about a year and a half and she has been fantastic, meeting with me every week, sometimes twice a week. She has always done what she has said she would do and often sees me straight away when i just turn up without an appointment when i am finding things particularly difficult. She has tried her best to find a good replacement but i don't seem to be getting on too well with the new person. There is a cross-over with my two workers until my nurse leaves, so i am currently seeing both of them. I met up with the new person for the first time on our own yesterday. But she asked so many questions i got overwhelmed and feel resentful that i have to explain everything all over again. I got so angry, i walked out. I spoke about this with my therapist today and she pointed out that i may be very angry with everyone for all the changes (my therapy ends in Feb) and that i am probably taking my anger out on the new person. I HATE being seen as an angry person. I HATE being so angry. When i came out of therapy, it felt like everything was over and found myself in robot mode (does anyone understand what i mean by this?). Anyway, i felt guilty about walking out on my 'new person' so i wrote her a letter to appologize and took it straight to her department. I keep feeling like smashing up the hospital, but i guess that won't do me any favours. Don't know how i'm gonna get along with new person, dreading meeting with her next week.

cloudyfox Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Well done for writing that letter. If your new person is any good I'm sure she'll understand where you're coming from. Change is very hard to deal with, especially for us. ((((hugs)))) Take care Cloudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustOneMore Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Whenever things like people leaving happen, i usually blame myself for them going. I've had all kinds of people coming and going in my life. i had 5 probation officers, Dr Calder left the unit to go and work elsewhere, Dr Siddiqui left, Dave my keyworker at the hospital left, and i ended up with June - whom i didn't like, so then i ended up with Paula, and now i have been discharged (BECAUSE THE BUGGERS SHUT THE PLACE DOWN) I go to a day centre now, but upto now no-one has left.
