Shock news

Hi @Chris

i am sorry to hear about your father in law passing.

And i know exactly what you are saying about what happened to you with regards to your psych leaving interstate.

I had a very similar thing happen to me last thursday. my therapist of 5 yrs told me that he couldn't help me anymore as it was out of his depth. he totally shocked me, i just sat there and sobbed so much. he then said he would try to find someone else for me and also talk to my psychiatrist.

a few days later, now and i have a new psychologist but can't see her until november. Are you able to ask him about the names of the people he mentioned? It's hard to take things in.

i really hope things work out for you, i know how hard it is and how you must be feeling.

good luck.

I hope the psychologist remains a stable support @Chris. It makes such a huge dfference to get to know them well enough for trust and then healing to develop. It can also feel very strange and a bit of a betrayal when after having opened up one's soul to a person ... they then are brusque and non-committal about "moving on".

Death in the family is always trying.

Go very gently with YOU.

Hang on .. til Tuesday and beyond.

Hi @Chris

Just wondering how you're going...

How was your appointment on Thursday?

I hope you're doing okay.

Hi nik

Feels like a long time to tuesday. Still have grand children untill tommorow morning.

Not feeling the best. Short tempered, down. My psychiatrist took me off one antidepressant and started me on another. Warned me i could have withdrawals,which would have really kicked in by tuesday. So guess i will get worse before i get better. Just feeling crap really. Have to hope that this round of ect works.

My psychologist appointment was good. We talked alot about what is going on . And she said she wasnt going anywhere. She was very reassuring. So at least that is one stable thing. Although she only works two days a week, i am able to email her when i really need to, and she will see me at short notice if im in a crisis. Im very greatful to have her.
