I have a meeting with my mental health team next week. I wanted a telephone appointment but apparently they have to see me, not happy about that at all. In person I lose it real fast and I don't act like the real me. It's to easy to lose control, to let myself freak out. When that happens I can be real cold and aggressive and if I feel threatened which I sometimes do then I may make threats or try to run away.
I don't know what it is with mental health people but with me there always trying to push me in to a corner and asking questions they know I find hard and painful to answer. They just don't understand asd and make everything worse. I really wish they'd just do the phonecall appointment, they know I'm no good in person.
Sucks.
Hi Cassandraa, thank you for sharing with the online community. I am sorry to hear that you're going through a challenging time with your mental health team.
