CATT Team

At what stage or how serious so you have to be to involve the CATT Team?

If you or someone you know isn't coping then phone them and they will assess the situation if needed.

When I lived in Wellington a couple of years I went to my pscyologist and my doctor as I was feeling really really low. I think they could tell something was really wrong and they both called the CAT team. I got a phone call from them that afternoon - they wanted to know what was up, and I wasn't in a good place then either, said to them in a bitter tone "Don't you worry your pretty little head about me" and they just said ok mate, take care.

In answer to your question Ros, I get the problem that they dont wanna deal with you unless they feel they really have to.

Are you struggling at the moment?

Only experience I had was when I went to my parents,had a fight with Matt then drunk my brothers bottle of vodka and text matt telling him I was choosing which knife I was going to use to stab myself to death,cops turned up and I had to be seen by the CATT team

have had them involved quite a bit here in chch have found them generally good have had the odd dense one but all in all they are good.

Ummm, can someone let me know if Ros is ok?

Hey,

Things here still very unstable.

Saw the doc yet again yesterday and have increased one of my meds by a lot.

I thought it was my drepression playing up again but doc says my symptoms dont match, he thinks it is more of an anxiety issue and is thinking it may be along the lines of PTSD.

I have my weekly shrink appointment tomorrow annd hopefully her report on me has been signed off so we can start looking at treatment options.

Good luck then Rossy, thinking of you mate!
with love as always
