Caring teachers and mental health workers kept me alive. Its the least I can do to acknowledge that.

My son thinks they do not help, but maybe they cannot change the external issues, but I know one of my current ladies CARES about my son and I and was treated dismissively by my CATT team in September.Our situation escalated and is still serious.  My son also had an ED presentation that was poorly handled, instead of establishing APPROPRIATE follow up they discharged him.  

Paranoia in the community is meaning that the repeated fobbing off of my son and I may become "criminogenic".  My son still has no intention toward public harm and it is a waste of tax payers money that the prosecuation pretends he is a risk.  My son is not that paranoid yet, but I am repeatedly told how paranoid the community is.  What is the daughter of 2 schizophrenics supposed to think.Woman EmbarassedWoman SurprisedWoman SadWoman Frustrated  Yes I am sorry and I can see that overall our general community has become a lot more paranoid. It makes me sad for everybody.

YET still while I am alive and take breath, I have no option but to pay respect to the things that are good and do work.

Flippancy by CATTteam is not a good.  More follow ups are needed for ED presentations.  APPOINTMENTS and phone calls SHOULD have been made.  I need to log off and do some gardening and music.  I have neglected my music a lot, with all the issues and research around his current situation.  Our society is becoming more authoritarian. I doubt it will help the community.
