It seems you have probably had to deal with so many different docs over time. Gathering the info into a timeline form might help you feel more on top of the info, which is good to help you feel some more power as a mental health services consumer.
Hi noa,
I have posted Cam about what happened today. I had a visit from the health team, a new worker there that was really enthusiastic about my case, then he asked me what traumas I have had in my life and when I told him He exclaimed "you have survived all that!!!!" so he is referring me to the special treatment clinc for therapy, I guess it will be pretty intense but he feels that it needs to be cleaned out so as I can clear my subconscience and try to get on with things which I am willing to do. I mean there has been so much since my childhood it's not pleasant, things that I hadn't remembered before are coming out. Not nice. Anyway, he has put me on zyprexa with the lithium and hopefully it works well together, just makes me really sleepy at the moment but I guess that will pass.
If you want to read Cam's post feel free O.K. I probably explained it better there.
Thanks for your help too. It probably won't be until at least a week until I get into this place, maybe longer, depends, but he called it post tramatic shock syndrome and said that it probably triggered off my illness. I can expect improvement but will need the meds to keep me on keel. I will keep you posted. Thanks......Kerry
