Hello everyone. I'm doing okay! I have bible study on this morning and I'm thinking of going to see my son this afternoon and staying the night. I'll see how I feel later. I was on last night but didn't want to interrupt the conversation. I'm not sure if I can jump in. Maybe I need to make a new discussion, like I am now. Blessings to you all!

@REDLINEZ750 I brought my son up on all the old music. He's in his 30's now and knows quite a lot of 70's and 80's music! Handing on a legacy. Proud Mumma moment! He likes Pink Floyd - The Wall. Classic!

Sorry im so late to the party, just catching up on the days posts now.
@heartathome 🥰 thank you for including and tagging me here. I will happily sit and chat with you when i'm online (which admittedly has been less the past few weeks than usual, but hoping ill have more time again soon!)
@Oaktree im very saddened for your sake that you had that experience with the temp psych at the clinic. That sounds really weird that their first meeting with someone, esp as a temp psych, is to talk about discharging from the clinic?! Way to ruin rapport eh! I wonder if they were getting pressure from clinic operators to try to discharge as many patients as possible? I hope not! But it does make me wonder. I also wonder if maybe they would benefit from the feedback that it is distressing to have that experience at a first appointment and also if seemingly out of the blue from someone who doesnt even know you.
I hope you are able to see a different psych instead there. ❤️🩹
I love that @REDLINEZ750 wont make a good pet 🤣🤣. I bet @RebelliousAngel wouldn't by name either lol.
Mmm how would I be as a pet...? I'd be loyal, but i reckon i'd be treat-focused and a bit of a sook for company 🤣. I might also steal the bed/couch to lay on. But I wouldn't demand walks. Ever

@REDLINEZ750 I had a really really low day this week. The last 2 days have been better and busier.

@Oaktree They don’t really seem to take into consideration the high staff turnover is very stressful and counterproductive for healing relationships. If they are trying to say that they feel you are doing well, they should say that, and build rapport and gently enquire… maybe….its hard when we feel we don’t even have a place in the health system.

@Appleblossom sorry one day this week wasnt good, but glad for you that the 2 after were better again. *hugs*
100% agree on your comment re: if they think youre improving then to instead say that and build rapport.

Life's been a bit out of sorts for me and a series of unfortunate events has me feeling down in the dumps.
