Re: Depression Society MKVIIThink it's to do with child protection stuff, the crisis team did the same with me and it's just so they're aware that there's minors in the house as that might change whether they're happy with you being at home, depending on your risk, that's what I was told anyway.(Original post by down_under)
Does anybody know why the early intervention team would want to take the name and date of birth of anybody under 18 who lives with me? Or whether this is just a policy implemented within my local health trust?

Re: Depression Society MKVIIDecided to look at my pics from last year of the last day of school. They really touched my heart
, especially at the fact that i'm capable of having fun. May be far from simple due to my parents, but I can have fun if the time is right. Although I may have now triggered my bad feelings 
Meant to be revising for my exam tomorrow (last one
), but can't find my textbook

I don't know why I'm worrying so much about what results I'm going to get due to not revising. It is my fault for not having the motivation so why I'm I worrying now? I'm getting what I deserved for not revising. Why do I only care about having fun these days? Why not doing work? I will never be successful in life if I only ever have fun? In a way I feel this depression is punishment for me wanting to have fun like other people
Get over the fact that you don't have friends or a girlfriend. Your future is more important.

Re: Depression Society MKVIIHello, everyone, how are we all today?
I've had a pretty atrocious day. I went to sleep at about 1 in the morning last night, and then today I woke up at...3 pm, and actually only got up and out bed at about 5. I'm also running myself into the ground with exam revision, and I have a telephone interview for a job the day after tomorrow which is making me even more stressed/nervous as well. And my heart rate has been incredibly fast, so I've been feeling very jittery and my voice has been all quavering, which hasn't been a nice experience at all. I'm sure some of it is down to anxiety, but I haven't been feeling noticeably worse in that regard, so I think I might have some kind of physiological problem there.
Hope someone has had a better day than I have

Re: Depression Society MKVIIYour team will have to fill out a risk assessment as part of your care plan and other assessments, part of that requires them to investigate whether there are any minors at the address basically just box ticking for the child protection issues. Given how paranoid everyone is these days about it staff have lots of paperwork they're required to fill out on these sorts of issues. Most of the time it is pretty unnecessary but it still has to be done. They have to demonstrate they are investigating and managing any possible risks where necessary.(Original post by down_under)

It's mostly an issue where you have parents with mental health problems particularly if there is no one else to look after the children, if for instance you have someone with severe depression who is unable to look after themselves there may be the risk they also neglect their child's needs as well as their own. It just means closer attention is paid and possible cooperation with other departments such as social services to provide additional support and monitoring where necessary. Also it becomes a possible issue if the patient in question has demonstrated tendencies towards violence when severely unwell, in those instances the presence of children who could possibly be at risk may be used as justification to admit a patient to an inpatient setting away from where they may cause any problems until such a time that they are stabilised.
In short... I wouldn't worry too much about the question

Re: Depression Society MKVIIafter 30 hours without sleep, I just crashed out for 12 hours, feel awful though
sigh, also got fobbed off by the girl I like yesterday, she made a lame excuse not to meet up, even after she had suggested it initially, I no doubt said something wrong when we were talking or something, I should really just stop kidding myself, clearly im just one of those people who is meant to die alone. -

Re: Depression Society MKVIIthanks, I hope so, I hate being alone(Original post by EmmaJane_)

just really sucks cause I liked this girl a lot and I thought she liked me too, but am like 99% sure she was just making an excuse not to see me.
have a GP appointment this afternoon (still seeing them fortnightly atm), probably gonna up my Venalfaxine cause that's what CMHT suggested as well as fobbing me off. will ask my GP about sleep issues and pain though, maybe they might do something but idk.
how are you? -
