After a meeting with my care co-ordinator today, I have some fantastic news.
I am being “signed off” as a service user under the care of the community mental health team … this is something that I have been aiming for and pushing toward for a while now. I have always confided in all of the people who have been helping me in a professional capacity that my biggest fear was becoming a “career patient” and never being able to escape the system, that is a fear that I no longer have to be concerned with.
Medication is to stay the same for the time being, which although a bit disappointing is not the end of the world considering the sign off. I still will have contact with the team, but only if I need them, the days of home visits and twice monthly reviews are over 
… I do not feel apprehensive about this at all, that must be a good sign that I am ready.
Where my journey leads now is pretty much in my own hands, I will no doubt face some tough decisions in the coming weeks and months, but I feel in a much better place to be able to make them now. It certainly feels like I am coming out of the tunnel and heading towards an ever-growing shaft of light … I will continue to go forward and see where I end up.
Good on you Kev, A landmark on your journey thats for sure.
You can focus on tryng to find a job now
