They're really good for talking to - I had three appointments a week with a psychiatric nurse, art therapist and psychiatrist. They were all pretty nice (though I hated my care co-ordinator). There's not much to worry about.
I honestly didn't expect that they'd be so much help to people - I assumed it was some form of counseling service, and not as in depth as what you've said. It's reassuring and I'm glad to hear that they've helped you!
Thankyou for your reply, it's incredibly helpful
