Hi there,
Following a whole heap of stuff with my CPN... I'm now to have a CPA (can never remember what it stands for) review next weeek with my CPN, Psychiatrist, possibly my GP, my OH, a key worker from the local resource centre and probably a bunch of other people... I don't know!
This will be my first CPA and I was wondering what people's experiences of these things are. My GP has already kind of warned me that I may be 'railroaded' - his words not mine! I'm guessing that it's gone from me requesting a different CPN due to personality clash to it now being a full review of everything that I get and it's really starting to worry me... am I going to break down in front of them all... or clam up and say nothing. Hey I might be lucky and be sectioned!
The professional people I talk to say stuff like.... oooh you should say that at the CPA. or ooooh, write that down for the CPA. I'm sure that's good advice but at the moment all I want to do is scream and cry when I think about it
. It reminds me of ward round in hospital which were pretty awful things that were definitely done unto you.
What happens in one? How have you found them and what would you suggest I do?
Any thoughts or information would be very helpful... I don't even know if these are common practice across the UK or whether its just some local thing. Anyway I'd be really grateful! Thankyou
(I'm going to google it now to see if there's anything out there!)
