lauraw2693 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've seen them a lot in the past and found them not very helpful to be honest but I've been thinking maybe thats me not them.. When I saw them yesterday they asked me how they could help me best - one of the voices just started saying things like if we knew that we'd be doing it (thats the polite version). To be honest I didn't know what to say which makes me feel stupid. Just wondering how crisis teams have helped you? What they've done specifically, especially when they've involved for a while not just a one off? Thanks xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlylight1 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 hi shadow, the first thing i thought to reply was they brought me milk round once when i'd ran out and couldn't face going outside. and then i thought 'i'm sure they did more than that'. i think the main help was i ended up getting on quite well with one of the workers who would come round. so she was someone who understood mh and who i could have a chat and a cry too when i was very socially isolated. but the workers who i didn't have that connection with didn't really help me much with their visits apart from i guess it being some form of social contact. i don't know if you have problems with being in busy places but they did say they would accompany me to places like that to help me get used to it if i wanted to. xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 helped - as in having people to 'pour out' to - who would not condemn or judge or dismiss - 'safe' people when there was so much needed pouring out every day and family/friends where just the wrong people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw2693 Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Thanks for both your replies. I didn't know you could ask to go out with them instead of staying in and talking, I'd never thought of that. I suppose they haven't offered because I do go out with friends when I need to go out. I guess they are safe people but to parts of me they don't feel it, they feel like a threat I think its because it always seems to be someone different when I see them, so can't really build up a relationship, they send out whoever is available so its the anxiety of meeting someone new each time, think it out weighs the benefits a lot of the time. I'm worried about pouring it out because some don't get it - one didn't even know what dissociation meant, though the woman yesterday seemed to realise so I didn't have to explain which was helpful.. I guess I'll just try and explain what is happening in my head though I'm finding it difficult to put into words. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
