lauraw2693 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Finally! I actually had a good appointment with my support worker this morning, I explained more what happens when I lose time and why it's such a worry to me right now.. and also why I don't feel I can explain this to my cpn (she actually said herself I'm not surprised because she hasn't given you consistent support - saved me saying it!) She said she would talk to my cpn for me about it and see if she could push finding out about my assessment forward because I'm potentially a danger to myself. She actually seemed worried which I don't like but at least it means she's taking it seriously.. I told her about my therapist ending things suddenly yesterday as well which she said was completely unprofessional and I should write down how it made me feel to send in, not sure about that yet but then I don't want her messing anyone else round like that, they need to know I guess I think it's the first time in AGES I actually feel listened to!! (I mean professionals, not on here of course ) Thank you everyone who's been supporting me recently, I would have found the last few months impossible to get through without friends like I have on here Feels nice to post in this section for a change :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily-Bee Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 And this woman is going to continue being your support worker? Thats great! Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw2693 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, my cpn has basically threatened to take her away, I think she's annoyed I now talk to my support worker more than her but it's her own fault she's not been there - support worker said she'll see me as long/often as I need though so I'm trying to listen to her and thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyheartemma Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 your support worker sounds great, its so good feeling like ppl are listening to you and taking you seriously coz so many ppl don't for whatever reason. i hope she continues to be supportive and that your cpn doesnt cause any more problems. It must be so good having your support worker on your side, when someone like your cpn is unprofessional it can be hard when its your word against theres but when its your word and your support workers word that must be so helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxy222 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 being listened too and taken seriously can help so much, even if they cant do much to change situations just having that support and care means so much. i wish some of the people i work with wd get that through their thick heads!!!! really happy for you, tgcx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw2693 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks, yes definitely Emma it feels like someone is on my side for once - I know they're all there to help really but it just doesn't feel like it sometimes, I don't know whether its my paranoia or my cpn just being useless or a mixture of both but it really feels like she's trying to make me worse/play mind games sometimes. And yes you're right Roxy, she can't do that much apart from talk to my cpn on my behalf but even that right now is more than enough because I don't feel strong enough to do it myself and really need to let her know whats going on Hugs xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_c Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 shadow. if your CPN is onyl half as uselss as the ones i have been dealing with they are outright terrible how cna they justfy threatening toi take away something which helps you? because it somjow makes them look as bad as they realy are no doubt and are being childish about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw2693 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yeah that's exactly it Paul, she took 8 weeks off and then another 6-7 last year so I found it hard to trust her because I thought she'd just leave again if I did and shes just useless in other ways and lies too, I think she has realised that my support worker is helping more and she's trying to take back control.. Just taking away that support will do more harm than good right now, that's what she can't see. It just worries me because she actually has the power to do that I think <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_c Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 do what i did. say to the next level up person i do not trust my care worker. they will shift you to someone new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw2693 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 You think they would? Even my support worker said I'm not surprised you don't trust her any more :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_c Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 yes but dont be nice about it. be downright nasty about how you feel to hammer the point home and get the other person to write a letter to the effect. nicy nicy doesnt work with them for some reason. probably cause it measn your "ok" where as emotion means your not, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw2693 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thats probably true cuz I can't help but be nice and they seem to think I'm doing really well right now Being forceful is not my strong point unfortunately :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
