How to challenge your negative thoughts

Honestly, sometimes sleep is the most helpful thing when everything is overwhelming. I encourage you to get some rest and then revisit how you're feeling/what you are needing afterwards. We will be here, okay? @BlueBay 💛

hey @AuntGlow i ended up so drowsy and exhausted that i took myself to bed. Slept for 1hour 1/2

i have made a shepherd's pie for dinner which is cooking now. I am a bit anxious about meeitng new psycholgoist tomorrow but i know i have the support from my dr and psych.

thanks @AuntGlow for checking on me xxx

Heya @BlueBay ,

Here's a hug for you and hope things have improved for you. It sounds so hard.

Weren't you seeing a new psych and that's why you left your counsellor?

hi @tyme
Yes I’m seeing my new psychologist this morning at 9am.
I’m looking forward to meeting her as I’ve heard good things about her. But at the same time I’m feeling very anxious.

Last night I took another med to calm down and slept well.

I’ve been sending a prayer to my dad every night. I talk to him and let him know how much I miss him and love him. 😥😥😥

hey @BlueBay it sucks to hear that your counsellor said some unprofessional things! i'm glad to hear that your GP and psych were there to support you and validate your feelings.

hope the appt with the new clinical psych goes well! then i hope you get to rest up too, you've had a lot on this week! 💙

So drained

exhausted emotional morning with new psychologist but she is nice

Have a headache

fearing of triggering stuff thinking of sh so my dad could see me

im so tired

going to bed

@rav3n @tyme @AuntGlow @Shaz51

I remember my psych appointments. Sometimes, after them, I felt like I'd run a marathon! @BlueBay

Please rest up and look after yourself.

I am glad you listened to your body and got some rest @BlueBay 🥰

Shepard's Pie? YUM.

Looking forward to hearing more about your psych appointment when you have the space to share. 💛

Hey @AuntGlow

Gee I was exhausted yesterday. It’s amazing how much energy and emotions are zapped when talking to a psychologist.

she is lovely and asked lots of questions mainly about my childhood. To which now when I reflect is a pretty sad life.
no school friends

not allowed to go to birthday invitations

no school camp allowed

I was kept home all the time

it was a very lonely childhood at school

I ran away from school a few times

my life was so screwed up and it continued to my adult life - thanks to my mother.
I really never want to see her again.
she hates me I know it.

I feel very sorry for my dad

to be treated by her is horrible

he is stuck in the middle

can’t say a word because if he does she growls back and he backs off

I’ve seen it many times as a child growing up

I never ever got any emotional love from my parents

no praise nothing

it hurts

I copped it most of the time because I was the oldest girl

I ended up in bed by 8pm last night. cried myself to sleep.

I haven’t emailed my counsellor yet to tell her I’m stopping to see her. I’ll do it this week.

I was a very sheltered child. Very shy anxious and always sick - yet no one could give me an explanation as to my pain

I doubted myself all the time and still do. Can’t make decisions

I’m rambling sorry. Too many words in my head at the moment.
need a coffee

hi @tyme @rav3n

morning my sister @BlueBay

having a coffee with you and sitting with you

sunny here today
