Hi everyone, @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Peregrinefalcon @Jynx @PossumSocks @NatureLover

Hope your all well.

I’ve just had the worst start to my week yesterday I found out that I can’t see my psychologist anymore as she is moving on to another job at the uni. I have a psychologist I’ve been doing a cognitive assessment with so hopefully I can see him. I have an appointment with both of them on Thursday so I’ll find out what going to happen. I can’t believe this has happened though like I’m happy she has got a new job. I just feel a bit sad about it knowing how hard it is to open up to people and to have to go through that again is just annoying. Anyway thanks for letting me vent I needed this.

Re: Psychologist

Thanks @tyme

I kind of have to watch it though as I’m watching it with my parents and they get annoyed when I don’t watch things with them. I will try and suggest to them for us to watch it when it’s not the night so maybe that might help.

I'm sorry to hear, @Birdofparadise8 😞

But I'm glad they are going to give you a referral, that will hopefully be quicker and more helpful than trying to find one yourself.

Good luck...

Re: Psychologist

Hey I’m here at least so that’s something I guess. It was a very hard session with my psychologist for my assessment as he just wanted to check in with me and see what was wrong and he said he will see me for a couple of sessions till we can find a more permanent psychologist as he said that is wasn’t good that my other psychologist has just dumped me like this. I’m going to my doctor to get a mental health care plan so my psychologist can refer me to someone as I need to see someone soon. He said I’m in a vulnerable state and was really worried so that’s not good. He even asked if I’m able to be safe between now and next week. Also I didn’t get to see my main psychologist because she is sick so I’ll see her Monday.

Thank you for checking on me. How are you? @tyme
