Just checking in.

Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

thanks @Teej that sounds very similar to what i do. i only tell her what she needs to know or pick my timing when/how i tell her. If its pcos or the likes im alright with telling her that, its the other tests and what else might be required with that such as the coloposcopy.If i dont have to involve anyone else then thats pretty much the way itll stay. i guess ill cross that bridge when i get to it though, ill hear back from the specialist sometime this month to make an appointment.

Sorry, ive taken you way off track to what you guys were talking about. Hoping that there are some answers within your tests today and the 'where-to' isnt to bad. Hugs xo

You didn’t take us off track @outlander . I think we’d finished chatting. I wanted to add that the supports I get are mostly from the forum for this stuff. Telling my friend was a curly one but I knew I’d need to keep grounded over it. She’ll help me with that although I’m sure I could get support here for it. I hope you go ok with your stuff. I think it’s hard when it’s so drawn out. 💜🤗

thanks @Teej forum friends are very good at helping us get through the tough stuff indeed. i think it was brave you told your friend and that she had a good reaction too. This stuff can be rather scary and uncomfortable even if youve had it done many times before.yes! the waiting game is quite hard, drives our minds abit crazy sometimes i think.

Re: Just checking in.

Are you struggling to sleep @CheerBear or about to head off? Anything on your mind?

Re: Just checking in.

It’s ok @CheerBear Have a feeling you logged off for the night. 👍🏻

Re: Just checking in.

I'm wide awake @Teej and think I might have some trouble sleeping tonight. Not sure what's up.

Are you still OK or feeling a bit not-so-OK now?

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

I’m ok @CheerBear . I have this strange post I wanted to write while I’m ok about the contradictions we have in our brains. I did my usual and tried to find an old former member thread that I could post on which is a fair indication of my insecurity about writing it :face_with_rolling_eyes:.

I have passed needing to write it now.

How was was your day? Not sure of your appointment but I hoped it went well

Re: Just checking in.

I feel kind of the same sometimes with wanting to write but not @Teej. I've written lots that I haven't posted, but it's been helpful to get things out and kind of work through them myself in a way. I have written you a novel about owning a banana brain that's sitting in my draft box (I write most of my posts in gmail and then copy and paste them here - me being odd lol).

It was a pretty good day thanks. It had some great moments, ones in the garden. My appointment was a counselling appointment with the SA service I've been seeing for the past 6+ months. It was good but I'm thinking now I'm bed, as happens. It's not bad for me tonight, just a round and round kind of thinking.

Re: Just checking in.

Round and round thinking. Hmmm I think that I have a degree in that somewhere 😘. @CheerBear . I guess in a strange way I was round and round thinking too, now that I think of it. I’m finally starting to fade. It hope you are too. I had to take meds again to fade but it’s ok. I have to wake up earlyish and book my ct scan.

Sometimes our seems to leave us a bit wonky. Maybe ne last week did in a strange way too.

Catch up tomorrow maybe. I hope you sleep soon.
