Yes. Nothing is ever stagnant here @Shaz51 !
@Till23 . You've made some really valid points there about the 10 sessions and the rest you've had to pay for yourself. It's as though you need to 'see' the illness to get help...
I guess I've been a lucky one because pretty much all my supports for complex mental health were pretty much free. The only ones I paid for were/are any maintenance sessions I might want to have. But the bulk of the support was through the public MH system. That's years of therapy, treatment, case management, peer support, psychosocial support etc.

It’s really annoying first to have this @tyme support worker because iv had such a bad rap with them.
Then Mr Rapper and I ended up having this huge argument……… now because @Jynx and I were talking about feelings I wrote him this text…..we start texting each other if argument goes on for over say half an hour.
I wrote that supporting with someone who has had a head injury is difficult because I’m so high functioning. But for him to imagine what’s it like to be like me where I keep on repeating everything I’m saying and me knowing that the person is going to react to that.
wow. Huge no arguments anymore……….
