General chit chat

Hi@Faith-and-Hope, @utopia, @Mazarita

I'm still not very good at 'navagating' this site, maybe that's why I kept trying 'instant' chat sites - they seemed easier. But I like that messages can be checked, that it's not instant feels like some sort of barrier against instant shock I suppose - though I know this is a public Internet site so anyone can use it. I also think, though I hate the term Mental Illness, as I think it takes all the physical out of it, that the people that cause trauma probably suffer from it, so they would have just as much right to use it. But I feel a bit like typing I think, so I thought I might just blurb a little?
I've went away for a few days. I go every month. I visit the center of my Universe 🙂 The one person who has been there with/for me, their whole life & I believe will remain that way until I die 🙂 . . . & quite the large Family they have provided for me to share in 🙂 I go from, it almost seems like another Planet sometimes, my life is very quiet; to the center of my Universe, which includes 5 grand-children ranging in age from almost 2 to, going on 18; then there's the partner, the partners Parents and a large variety of friends 🙂 I often find myself thinking 'alein sound dimension' - there's so much noise on so many different levels! Every single one of them has every gadget known to mankind, and most of those gadgets make noise! And my World is a lot calmer, with a lot less going on - we're usually driving in the car, taking children to school, doing whatever shopping is necessary for the day in time for whatever seemingly endless appointment is due, . . . by the time my alarm goes off to make sure I wake up in time to get tired in time to go to sleep in time 😄 There's no way I could keep that pace up anymore! After a few days I find myself almost running away with my tail between my legs 🙂 But it's the perfect balance really, I do spend a lot of time alone - apart from my 3 furry, four-legged friends; but I am extremely lucky, my bond with my only child is of a strength I can't see breaking; I get a phone call or text every night & welcomed by a dozen open arms and smiling faces every month. I am lucky, I have a good life. Well, I think life is just a word, neither good nor bad. I have good experiences and I am happy 🙂

Good Morning @Faith-and-Hope🙂

How are you? Not your Sons and Daughters or your Wayward Hubby, though I hope they're all fine - How are you feeling?

Your strength is undeniable, but your allowed your weaknesses too! I always think of you when I get on the Forum, and every time I see the words Faith and Hope :), but I rarely say 'Hello' just to you . . .

Hello Faith and Hope

Re: General chit chat

Hello @Niqueeta ..... ❣️

I am okayish ...... the waters are getting deeper around me here, but they were always going to.

S2 is under a pdoc now for an anxiety disorder ...... the subterfuge and stress of our circumstances has impacted on him, but the pdoc's investigations with him have turned up the surprising diagnosis that he has the same sort of personality type as WH, only it's directed inwards.

That's the long of it ..... the short of it is that we have to start putting everything out on the table, and it's not going to be easy, so I am feeling a bit rattled, but as prepared as I can be.

Now I just have to be as brave as I can be.

💜

Re: General chit chat

aww @Mazarita everytime you call me that i cant help but smile.

ok wow fnally someone is taking this seriously!
i went to this new gp while mine is away and im glad i went today.
it was a longer appointment jsut to get a bit of details etc but we covered how i was feeling and my thoughts etc. she said its really important that i ring 000 is this continues becasue im at the point now where the next step is where i might intend to act on these thoughts. it is time for some serious help.
shes made sure and even had to show her i had the helpline numbers in my phone and she re gave me the mental health team in my area as well as they apparently can organise an emergent home psychiatrsit visit or soemthing for an assessment and i wasnt aware of that. she had made me an urgent appintment to see my psychatrist to keep an eye out as well and i see her tomorrow at 9am.
she gave me my swabs back for downstairs and it istnt thrush but some sort of other infection so she gave me antibiotics for it and she checked the lump thing and she said it has burst which is why the symptoms as well. i told her this was the second time it happened she said its likeley it will happened again but next time it happens as soon as it look the way it did before as in its coming to a point like its going to pop- cover it and try not to pop it and book an urgent appointment and she will do a draining procedure to fully clear it out but as it has already popped she doesnt want to try and drain it as yet as the antibiotics i have might do the trick and destroy both germs in one go. she said becasue im under so much stress my immune system is low so i am abit more susceptable to germs and them getting worse atm.
the gp said to make an appintment next week and becasue i usually book online i didnt stop at reception- the gp put an urgent ring for the reception to ring until i answer give it three goes otherwise she was sending someone out to check on me.
but i answered the first time but they told me that as well.
they said she wants to actually see me twice a week and if i dont come in or i dont ahve a valid reason then they were sending someone out.
so they rung me and made an appointment for wednesday and friday next week.
i also ahve my nurse next wednesday as well and
next wednesday i also have my first psychologist appointment with the new one

that is alot of appointments but i guesss if its going to help me stop going to hospital then its what i have to do.

she was debating whther to get me into hospital right now but i kind made a promise that i would keep myself safe until i see my psychitraist and also if i get anyworse or if i start making plans than i call the hospital

this was todays results @Mazarita@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Shaz51@MissG

Re: General chit chat

@outlander Good to hear you have such a caring doctor now. It seems you now have a very strong structure of support in place. Wishing you the best with the antibiotics and hope they work quickly for you in all areas. When things get too severe, it may be that psychiatric help is the best and so it's good to see you have extra support there. Hope the physical and mental stress eases for you very soon. Sending healing vibes.
