Not Coping

Sounds like an honest and authentic hello to me, @Birdofparadise8 🙂

Yes, I am in Melbourne, and Sunday will be gross, haha!

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a hard time. 😞

It's okay to express what you're going through, even if you can't pinpoint the exact reasons behind it. Your mental health is a complex interplay of various factors.

I imagine feeling out of control and having the sadness extend into your daytime can be particularly tough. I hope you are getting the support you need. You don't have to navigate this alone. 💜

Thank you @lavenderhaze

I see my psych tomorrow so hopefully that will go okay.

hey @tyme good to hear from you. Hope you're well 😉

@Birdofparadise8 hey hon, sorry for the late reply. I had some chores that needed doing.

The temp is going to be 45 here tomorrow 😲

I need to go shopping so I'll have to go early, especially now that the air con in my car isn't working. Just in time for summer and it fails!

Aside from that though I will be staying inside, drinking a lot of water and pretending it's only 35!

How did your date go? Sorry if you've already answered, I haven't checked other messages.

I'm glad you are catching up with friends on the weekend, it is something to look forward to.

I've just checked the time and realised it's 10.15pm where you are and you're probably settling down to sleep.

Yeah I’m in bed so I’ll be going to sleep any minute now @ENKELI

That’s so hot I don’t know how you do it.
he was very nice.

Okay, so I finally got to meet the guy for the date anyway, so we went somewhere near me for a drink, and he paid how sweet. I feel our conversation flowed well. Then he texted me when he got back home and said he forgot to say that I look beautiful and he wants to get me a preset which is flowers I think for the next time I see him as he ran out of time today because of his car trouble.

He also asked about my depression as well which put me on the spot.
let’s hope seeing my psych tomorrow won’t be too bad i hope he won’t say that because I’m having an increase in SI that it’s taking away from our sessions he said that once before and it hurt.

@Birdofparadise8 hope you have/had a good nights' sleep.

Your psych doesn't sound very professional in my very humble opinion. You're supposed to be able to talk to him about anything but it sounds like he's putting limits on what you can and can't say. You're not going to grow and get better. Have you considered seeing someone else?

How can talking about your SI take away from your sessions ffs?! Isn't that why you're seeing him?
Sorry, I am really pissed at what you've said about him. Even my last psych who turned on me was more helpful!

I really hope and pray you have a session that is helpful for you tomorrow/today

Sending you big hugs

I think I'll see how today goes, and if he makes me upset by telling him about my intrusive thoughts, that will open alarm bells for me.

How are you @ENKELI

Morning @creative_writer @tyme @Jynx @ENKELI @Blackbird11 @Snowie @Bow @Shaz51 @amber22
