Old enough and ugly enough to decide......?

They're understandably covering themselves should there be a relapse, which is known with many patients. The MHW's would then be castigated for lack of care from all quarters.

You have a diagnosed long term illness for which the medication works for you. You manage this by adjusting your life around this and it suits you and your husband just fine.

Your health care 'treatment' helps you live your life within the restraints of your condition.
This is the gold standard expected of healthcare.
Well done to you and your husband for getting this far.

I am sorry you are having to explain this to people.
Some of these people probably know very little about how it affects you. At the very least, it is rather careless of the health care professionals to ignore this aspect.
Keep an open mind but if you are doing OK then any further intervention may undo what you have already achieved.

Doctors should first do no harm.

You and your husband know more about your condition and how it affects you more than anybody else.
You know what works.

Hold on to that thought.

That all sounds very messy. I can't believe there hasn't been a better hand over to your new case worker either, or that she hasn't even introduced herself to you properly either. Any step down plan should be made collaboratively with you and not just handed to you.

It sounds like they are keen with having you connected somewhere. General questions that don't need answering here: What services do you think you need and could you access them privately, if not publicly? Are there other ways of meeting the needs you have? If so, maybe you could write out your plan for maintaining your mental health and present it to them to show you have it in hand? I think they just want to be sure that you won't suddenly lose services and be left to your own devices, only to have your mental health deteriorate. Is there someone you see regularly enough that would notice if you weren't doing well and could help you reconnect with the services if things got worse?

While it sounds like the handling has been awkward, it's overall a good thing that they aren't withdrawing too readily without a plan in place. I know you feel you'll be okay but, for some people, it would be a problem.
