Me too. He's worried about how he'll be afterwards. I've ended up reassuring him a lot this week that if he's quiet afterwards then it doesn't matter, if he needs a nap, it doesn't matter, we will do whatever he needs to do and there is absolutely no pressure. It's taking him a lot to get used to being treated decently

Fingers crossed it’s the start of healing for him

Hope it goes well today. x

They're starting with CBT apparently as they think it will help more to stabilise his moods. I personally think he needs a medication review too but he's reluctant as it causes issues at work.
-
What issues? Do work need to know?
-
I was going to ask the same as Paula - why does it cause issues at work?
-
Yes. Because of his position, any medication has to be run past a company pharmacist. Same with any dose change as it could affect his work. When he first started them, he ended up doing office duties for 8 months, though admittedly, the length of time was due to a failing on his then-managers part. When he went back into the box, he had to be supervised for a few weeks. He is honest with work, they're giving him Tuesdays off when he has therapy as their policy is staff don't work after a session, just medication makes it slightly more complicated.

That's brilliant that they are being so supportive and that he isn't expected to go back to work after a session - about time employers realised how much counselling takes out of you.
-
It’s great they’re giving him support

How did J get on? Is he being kind to himself?
