Hey everyone! This is a support space for @L-B .
@L-B , would you like to kick off by giving a bit of an intro here about yourself for those who haven't read your previous posts?

@tyme @L-B
I have some trauma therapy to do with my psych, however we have put that on the back burner while I focussed on my studies. It was quite disruptive. I have done a lot of talking about Tafe with my psych as well. Makes me wonder what we will talk about when Tafe is done.

I remember @Oaktree when you were about to start TAFE this year. Sounds like you have made leaps and bounds in a short time. Happy to cheer you on in the home stretch for 2025!🙌

Ditto @L-B . It's actually pretty remarkable that you are nearly done @Oaktree ! As I said, it seems like you only started a short while back.
In a way, do you think the studies was a good distraction for you in terms of therapy? I'm interested to hear your thoughts if you feel up to it.

Thanks @L-B @tyme
I appreciate you cheering me on.
My studies certainly kept my mind occupied this year; that's for sure. I guess it was a good distraction from other stuff coming up in my life. At times though I had to contend with both things, so it was not good timing for stuff to come up. I got through though. I am stronger than I thought.

I've had a BIG day, but a good day. My colleague ordered me a strawberry matcha and burger and chips. She was having a crappy day so she ordered it to help us both feel better @L-B
And yes, it was a very productive day 🙂
What about you? What's been happening for you? I'm guessing the med issue is ironing out and you are feeling somewhat better than what you have been?
Heya @Oaktree !

Hi @tyme , a big, good, productive day for you. Good for you! The med issue is better for me so I am exercising more which is tiring me out a bit but I think that might improve too as I get more conditioned. I hope so.
Hi @Oaktree !

I hope so too @L-B !
Did the doctor give an indication of how long the med stuff would take to get sorted?
