in other words i can leave my constant self monitering at the door and go in and just be me.
i also learn so much from other people with the same illness and especially their coping mechanisms as i know that have felt the pain and the fear the same as me
sorry but usually more than from my gp . r
and im very glad for my gp if they havent ever felt the fear.
to lose open access where if i feel im getting ill i can spend time even for a short while talking it through and being helped to reach calm to lose that would mean more calls for help to the mental help teams the cpn and the out of hours team
i can only ask why

There are 10 mental health day centers in the whole of Cornwall. Due to past changes and consultations a lot of people have become more unwell and now more recent changes have meant that these important places are not open as often as they were for us to use! There are staff losses too which have negatively impacted on both users and the remaining staff. People with mental illness are often more sensitive, in my opinion and speaking for myself, and my friends agree, we are more able than professional CPN's Social Workers etc, to easily pick up on when one of us is unwell. They have no need to say so, we just know. Why, if it is body language or empathy and more understanding I do not know. What I and others do know for sure is we need to keep well and so having our own safe place to meet up keeps us level and not dipping and rising, in and out of hospitals or using other resources. This in turn saves on hospitals, foundation trusts, GP's and council bills etc. Please support our Cornwall Mental Health Day Centres!

There GOOD ones - but not enough to go round and they never become managers.
