@Eden1919 Hello. Yes I have found treatment orders to be intimidating. You can convince them to reduce the time of the treatment order. Remain positive. Seek your goals. Above all explain yourself. Doctors are overworked. They have intentions to help but they also must endure a process. Just regard it as a process. Especially for the doctors, they must endure these orders on a daily basis. The focus is you and only you.
Best of Luck.
Regards

All the best for today @Eden1919
Having gone through a spate of legal hearings myself, I know how impersonal and cold it can all be.
I pray you'll find composure, and if nothing else, please remember that no one else owns the spot you're standing in. That means be at peace and strength in your sovereignty no matter what's going on around you. And surely, if you have objections to what the drs may bring forward, you have the opportunity to speak and make your mind known?
Sincerely, good luck! 🙏

Just show you have insight and are compliant. I have had two tribunal hearings and after that was put on a more tolerable med and got my life back. All you need to do is just comply and show you will be diligent about taking your future oral meds. D*****ol is a rotten depot to be on. Good luck @Eden1919

As a peer worker I've sat in on those tribunals @Eden1919 . They are pretty awful. Please let us know the outcome.

sorry for the disappointment @Eden1919
To be disempowered is nothing to celebrate...
I'm wondering what this means for you now? Forgive me for asking, or if you've explained already, but what is it you've been ordered to do for 12 months now?

@Kyle1 it means i have to do whatever the doctors want for the next 12 months and i cant say no to medications.
