There was no pressure on me from Span

"There was no pressure on me from Span"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult Mental Health Services - Community (City)

(as the patient),

I have borderline personality disorder before I came to Span I would not go out in case I was danger to myself or others. I always wanted to learn computers, but I knew it would be a waste of time, because I cannot concentrate for very long. The NHS support worker told me about Span. I went with her to meet (Tim) tutor). He was very understanding I have been attending now just over a year and passed my exam. There was no pressure on me I did it at my own pace but lots of support from my tutor, and some of the staff.

Although I tend to keep myself to myself, I really look forward to my afternoon there. I would like more group things but I know at this stage of my life I have to pace myself.
