A mood shift? and shrink anxiety.

Well I am no longer earth-shatteringly depressed- I think it has passed and am on the upwards. I at least have energy to construct a post of more than two lines.
Sorry if I caused concern over lack of posting. What I neglected to mention was I was at center parcs this week. I wasn't sure I would go but I didn't want to let people down. The surroundings were beautiful but my mood wasn't . I came home friday exhausted, having to be good company when all I wanted to do was hibernate was draining.

Anyway when I got back I have had a few missed calls from Care co-ordinator. Also she has been to visit and handposted me a letter for an appointment with shrink tommorow. I thought I was being discharged? I guess they have changed there mind or something. not sure. Last time I saw Shrink I had to have MHA assesment and she wanted to have me sectioned. I am therefore concerned about this upcoming appointment and whether I should even attend.

Thing is, I am going to have to be really careful what I say and how I come across, as last time all I did was be honest and didn't feel I came across as ill- but they obviously didn't see it that way. I also think they know that I am not taking the meds they keep bringing me.

Things I know they will ask

1.Am I eating?
2.Am I sleeping ok?
3.How is my mood?
4.Am I taking medication?
5.Do I have suicidal thoughts?
6.Am I having those psychotic thoughts (their words)

Things I want to ask
1.What do they think is wrong with me?
2.Can I finally see the other half of my medical records?
3.Am I being discharged?

But these things never go to plan. Tommorow I could be sectioned or discharged I just have no idea. Maybe I shouldn't go. But not sure if that will cause extra concern.

Feeling edgy and jittery and can't sit still maybe thinking about this appointment or the mood shift. Damn mood, I guess I have surivived another depressive period but surviving is all I ever do, Surviving is not living and I haven't lived for a long time.

Now I am back will try and be a bit more of a better blog poster and reader but no promises. My presence in blogland is as shifting as my moods. Take Care all. x

P.S-sleep has gone again 48 hours now - any fluctuation and its the first to go :(
