Getting very stressed out with my doctors

[David Baxter PhD]

Or just copy it to paper in your own handwriting?

 

[Steven_v]

so they didnt come, i waited all day for them and they didnt come round. i even gave thema call. i even managed to get what i wrote on her yesterday printed off. guess i'll just have to wait and see if they come tomorow. but iam feeling even worse today

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Who didn't come? Are you saying your doctors usually come to your home, rather than you going to your doctor's office?

 

[Steven_v]

yeah. iam with a thing called the crisis intervention team. and they were ment to come see me today

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Perhaps they were delayed with other or more urgent crises. Call them again first thing tomorrow.

 

[Steven_v]

i will. iam just gona find tonight really hard not only am i feeling worse than yesterday, but ive actually got to go off to college soon

 

[Steven_v]

great its really getting bad, i just came back from college early. because i feel so bad that i couldnt be around people

 

[^^Phoenix^^]

Did you call them again Steven?

 

[Steven_v]

they rang and said they'll be round tomorrow. problem is i feel like if i dont fight the thoughts its practicly excepting them and iam gona wake up tommorow as a pervert. but iam mentally and emotionally exhausted how do i make sure i dont wake up tommorow as some sort of perv

 

[^^Phoenix^^]

Instead of fighting them, perhaps when the intrusive thoughts arise, you could do something to take your mind off them? watch a movie, paint a picture, do a puzzle. I know that they may seem 'lame' or not a significant suggestion, but if these thoughts are obsessive in nature, then taking your mind off them would ease the worrying.

 

[Halo]

Actually Phoenix I don't think that those suggestions sound lame at all. I know when I am distressed and need to take my mind off of my thoughts I normally will try to distract myself by doing something as you suggested. It is always worth a try.

Good luck Steven and I hope your appt. tomorrow goes well.

 

[Steven_v]

ok so i they didnt come round again today. i rang them up and they said they're coming around tomorow. however iam scarred that by then my minds gona start excepting the thoughts and that means i'll tern into a perv. i really need them to come round today

 

[^^Phoenix^^]

Steven - when you speak to the crisis prevention team are you letting them know that you feel like you are in crisis and that you are terrified and anxious? If not, perhaps you should voice these concerns to them and they would be less likely to 'brush you off' so to speak to the next day?

 

[Steven_v]

they're deffinetly not coming untill tommorow, i rang them twice. i dont how iam gona get through till then

 

[^^Phoenix^^]

At this time, what is your most pressing concern?

 

[ThatLady]

You'll get through tonight just like you got through last night, and the night before, Steven. Just one minute at a time. We're here for you if you need to talk. :hug:

 

[Steven_v]

i dont know what to do. its the early hours of the morning, ive got no one to call and its all getting to much for me. i feel like i cant fight off the thoughts anymore. i dont know whats gona happen

 

[ThatLady]

Nothing is going to happen, Steven. You're here. You have us. Each hour that passes puts you closer to morning, and closer to tomorrow when your crisis team will come.

Do you have a number to call for the crisis team?

 

[Steven_v]

i dont want to turn into a pervert id rather die then that.

 

[Steven_v]

ive got they're number but they wont be there to take the call
