Highlight of today was, once again, walking on the beach.

Not a legitimate highlight, but I did manage to pay my bills on time.

Real highlight today: beat my PB on a particular section of my ride home, thanks to the tailwind.

The highlight of my day was seeing my super awesome GP. For me, she serves as a reminder that even though there are a lot of amazingly unhelpful health professionals out there, there are also SOME good ones. I really don't see how I would have made it through the awfulness of my previous psychologist dumping me the day after getting me scheduled last November, without her. My GP totally stepped up and dealt with victim's services for me and also helped me keep therapist shopping by making a lot of the calls to prospective psychologists (and getting a lot of "no, too complex" rejections). She has also engaged with my current psychologist and this is the first time in my life I've experienced anything resembling co-ordinated care. So yep, amongst a bazillion awful re-traumatizing experiences with health professionals, she is a shining light. I know she had many sleepless nights during Nov-Dec last year when she chose to respect the fact that hospital was damaging rather than helpful for me. I know I am the first suicidal patient she has had (she only recently graduated) and I know it was a very very big deal that she chose not to get me scheduled despite extreme suicide risk. For a little while there, the ONLY thing that kept me going was the thought that if I suicided, then my GP would spend the rest of her career scheduling patients at the first sign of suicidal risk. I am so grateful for the trust she had in me (and continues to have in me) and she is a super important part of why I choose to keep on keeping on. So yep, seeing her was definitely the highlight of my day and it balanced out the awefulness of last Thursday's adventure.
