@Faith-and-Hope. Just because i'm sick, doesn't mean I don't get to decide the treatment I want. There is nothing disabling about me, that requires others to think of me. and this goes against the laws governing people living with mental health. Against what we try and advocate for on this Forum. The right to make our own decisions.
I still want to see my psychiatrist and psychologist. I can see the benefit they hold for me. But this case manager and their 'program'. I can't see anything useful. But I don't get to cancel this without a big fight with WorkCover, that I just don't have the energy to tackle at the moment.
When I told my mum, she didn't see anything wrong with it. Probably because it doesn;t involve her rights being taken away, and also because she can still see i'm sick. But I might still be sick forever, in some degree.
When I told my psychologist today, he asked me how I felt about it. He said he was glad that I at least told the case manager that I was pissed off about her decision and how it will now effect me.
My psychologist also said, maybe I'd be better off getting the train to Melbourne and attending a group therapy session once a week, than having the case manager visit me once a week. I think I agree with him.
At least in group therapy, I learn something, get to use my brain, and don't have someone pointing out all the things I need to do around the house.
