The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks @BamBam. I hope you find a new way to start quitting again in future. There are many different approaches to it. Maybe the gum might work for you instead of the vaping. There is also the quit line that my doctor suggested today: 13 78 48

I think fruit salad is on the menu tonight cool and refreshing. It is so humid tonight and I am having rough time.

Hi @Angels333, looks like everyone has drifted off from the Feast. That often happens as the night progresses. Yum to fruit salad. Sorry you are having a rough time tonight, though. I am here for a bit longer if you would like to talk about it.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I have had to change psychologists. He was retraumstising me beyond any normal measures but I stuck with him for too long because I'm not confident in questioning authority.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Angels333 it can be hard making these kinds of changes, especially when we are feeling very vulnerable. Have you seen the new psychologist yet?

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I had some major depression/ self harm etc I just wasn't safe at all. My psychiatrist has taken over the therapy, but now I have to retell everything again. The psychologist was awful and I feel stupid for not recognising that he was doing more hsrm than good. When I told him I would be seeing the psychiatrist once per week he said that was a bit of a 'luxury'.

So I have to talk it all out again. My psychiatrist knows I have had issues with self harm and said just take extra meds while we are discussing things that are distressing.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Having to retell our stories over and over can be one of the difficult things about seeking help for ongoing health problems. This is especially the case when what we have to retell is traumatic. Sounds like the psychiatrist is being mindful of the fact that this may bring up difficult thoughts and emotions and that the extra meds might be a good idea temporarily to assist with it. I wonder if you have already started on the higher dose of meds and how many times you have seen the psychiatrist.
