Something’s not right

Feeling not so great

Feeling not so great

Feeling lost and confused, just wanna feel alright I want things to be the way they used to be. I keep getting let down by ndis support workers aswell and it’s breaking me. I’ve been to ER twice this week and I was trying so hard not to go.

changes are just triggering all together. It’s just hard. But still going with my coping skills.

am safe

Hi @Fluttershy1 I’m glad you made it there safely and are enjoying your time away! The sound of the waves sounds so peaceful, and your day exploring Merimbula, tasting cheese and getting ice cream sounds lovely. I hope you had a good sleep and enjoy picking up your brother today.

I'm so glad you're loving it there, can't wait to hear more about your trip 😊💛

Re: Feeling not so great

I’m feeling a lot better after talking with my GP @Nala2022. My GP mentioned something that has highlighted even more that this psychologist has time management issues and issues with adhering to her requirements.

GP has given me the name of an App to try “Insight Timer”. Next GP appointment in 6 weeks to align with issuing of my scripts plus to discuss my thoughts with the App.

I discussed with GP the 3 different options on my mind regarding seeing psychologist again. GP has supported my thoughts of sending email, addressed to psychologist I’ve been seeing plus manager of the psychology group, with 1) brief dot point timeline 2) requesting results plus interpretations of the online assessments 3) cancel appointment for next month 4) notifying why I am no longer dealing with any psychologist through that psychology group.

Think I knew the best option to take but my neurodivergent brain needed someone to confirm it for me

Hey @Flutterbug9

I'm glad you're feeling a lot better after speaking with your GP! It sounds like having that conversation helped you get some clarity and feel more confident in how you want to move forward.

It's great that you've been able to talk through the different options and work out what feels right for you. Sometimes we know what we want to do, but having someone help us talk it through and validate our thinking can make such a difference

Insight Timer is great, I use it myself. I hope you find it helpful as you try it out over the coming weeks.

How are you feeling now that you've got a clearer plan for how you'd like to handle things with the psychology group? 💛

Re: Feeling not so great

@Nala2022 I sent email yesterday afternoon to the psychology group addressing email to the psychologist and manager of the business. Email advised of my reasons for terminating the therapeutic relationship. I also requested to be emailed outcome of and interpretations of the online assessments plus copy of letter sent to my psychiatrist a few days prior to my initial appointment with her.

google tells me the psychology group has about 6 weeks in which to respond to me. I’m giving them 2 weeks to respond or I’ll be sending 2nd email stating they have 2 weeks to respond to me or I’m lodging complaint with HCC.

earlier this year I found out I have small rotator cuff tear in both shoulders. Right shoulder this morning very grumpy and telling me there is still some stress in my body.

I used the app twice yesterday. Last night I selected to listen to sound of rain as soon as I got into bed. I usually laying there for ages wide awake and then wake up tired. Felt myself drifting off to sleep very quickly last night, slept through the alarm and woke up feeling refreshed.

Re: Feeling not so great

Hi @Flutterbug9, I'm just catching up on replies now.

It sounds like you’ve taken some clear steps to advocate for yourself and seek answers about your experience with the psychology group. I hope you’re able to get the information you’ve requested and some clarity moving forward

I’m sorry your shoulder has been giving you grief, too. It’s encouraging to hear that you tried the app and found the rain sounds helpful, especially when sleep has been such a struggle. Waking up feeling refreshed must have been a welcome change!

I hope you can continue finding little things that support your wellbeing and help you get the rest you need 💛

Re: Feeling not so great

Hai @Nala2022 @Taali @MissGremlin - things have been really hard, I ended up coming back early from my holiday and have completely isolated myself from everyone as I’m not coping. I just feel like a burden.

am safe
