Am Not Coping

All the best for today @Zoe7 .... I will be with you in spirit ..... 💚🦋💐💕💐🦋💚

Hi @Faith-and-Hope and all passing through here...

Had the session with the psychologist this morning - it went okay. We mostly talked about what is happening with work, family and how I have been. We did some paperwork and although my anxiety and stress levels have decreased the depression was still high - but that is nothing new to me and pretty much what I expected. The issues with work over the last couple of weeks has certainly added to my feelings about myself also ...something to continue to work on though.

I am going to see her every 2 weeks and sessions will be guided by me as to where I want them to go and what I can handle. It will definitely revolve around me returning to work and how I am dealing with that to begin with. It was kinda strange being back there but I never once felt pressured to delve into the trauma related stuff so that reduced my anxiety a lot. All I can do is see how it goes.

I only did the second half of DBT today (because of my psych appointment) but at least I made it to some - it was much easier to get through 1 hour rather than 2

GP appointment this afternoon then home to rest I would think - been a long day already. This morning took a lot out of me but I did expect that to happen.

That all sounds really good @Zoe7 ..... I am relieved for you ..... I hope it all continues smoothly at that end while the other bumps get ironed out .....

Hugs Hon .... headed back into class ..... will catch up with you later.

It's lovely of you to check in in your break @Faith-and-Hope 🌹😍

Will catch you later Hon 💐💕

Always nice to 'see' you @MDT Toby is asleep but was very excited when I got home. I will have to leave him again soon for my appointment this afternoon but he will probably just sleep again so will be okay. I am sure I miss him more than he misses me when I am gone lol

How is the EU and visa stuff going?

So great of you to be that one witness that came forward - I understand why some people don't want to become involved but society will never change without people like you @MDT prepared to step up also. You have done a great thing buddy and should be very proud of yourself.

Toby was excited to see me when I got home for the second time today - it has only been around 2 hours but you would think I had been away all day - pets are wonderful

Had my GP appointment. We discussed changing appointments to fortnightly but she doesn't want to do that until after all the work stuff is sorted and I am back fulltime so it won't happen this year. Once I am back, getting paid and get through to the school holidays then we will revisit it. I am ok with that as my GP said - I can always cancel an appointment if I need a break from all these appointments. Ideally it would work that I have a psych appointment one week and a GP one the next - so I would see them each on a fortnightly basis - that is the longer term plan and one that would work well for me too. I will still have DBT and pdoc weekly.

I am really tired this afternoon but have to do another few things at home before I can settle in and completely relax.

I hope everyone has had an ok day

@Faith-and-Hope I am still yet to get onto that butterfly image but planning on doing it tomorrow - need the distraction while I wait to hear from HR again
