first time for a while
« on: May 16, 2012, 12:56:10 PM »
hi everyone
i stopped posting and then reading some time ago as i just could not cope even reading the posts anymore i  had felt increasingly more isolated and unwell then by a complete fluke my physcologist got in touch as they had been on long term leave and wanted to know how i was as they had never signed me back to my gp so i started having one on one sessions again and going over the coping mechanisms i had learnt in cbt although for me this has helped in some ways as have my anti d's i still need more help and we are now doing what is called experiential work which is a sort of role play i would be interested if anyone else has done this and whether you felt any benefit also because i discussed the suicidal feelings i have been having i was told i really need a break (either a holiday or a stay in a secure unit) this as you can imagine does not fill me with joy the reason i mention all this without really covering my problems is that for once i need a little reasurance that i'm not the only one thats had the offer of a free hospital break as it really has me even more worried than usual that i am so broken that my options are running out !!!

Although I'm talking years ago, my dad stayed in a secure unit, it did him a world of good xx

I have not had any experience of this, but if it would help and if it was me I would give it a try.
