Re: Anyone feel like chatting?

I'm okay.
Just struggling with really negative thinking..... mainly the typical for me.
I'm really frustrated with therapy atm. I don't know that it's going anywhere or that I'll ever reach my goals. I know this sounds silly, but not having an objective measure about where I am and how I'm moving forward really, really frustrates me. And not knowing the details of how it works frustrates me even more. I don't like being in this position of not knowing. And then being asked to be vulnerable on top of it. No . Just NO!
But other than that this little molecule/dinosaur/science nerd is okay-ish. Just needs to keep her study hat on for another few weeks until these assessments are all done.

It’s awesome you are still studying. Every I’ve I see a science article I think of you now 😊. You’ll be proud to know the only thing I’ve actually done today is look up science things on you tube. Today I learned how lead pencils were made, some body facts, that leaches are still used in medicine for one conditions and a few other things that have obviously left the station now as I can’t remember them. :face_with_rolling_eyes:😳.

Sorry to read you are frustrated with therapy. I find therapy is great when you can make connections and powerful when you move forward but sometimes frustrating when it feels like you are going in circles. It’s taken me years to be vulnerable in therapy. I think for me it’s come from being an old bag now (I care less about what I say, it’s seems a natural progression with age) and from finally trusting the people I’m working with......and to be honest I wasn’t going anywhere much without it before too.

Really glad to hear you are okayish. Not long before the long break and you can relax for a bit. My kids have finished uni for the year and the world is a little calmer, hopefully yours will too. It’s lovely to catch up 😊🤗💜

Thanks@Shaz51
For the hello on Carers Forum.
I am a carer of my elderly Mum but also have Lived Experience of MI.
Things got tricky for me recently when my SO had a serious accident so I was dividing my time between him and Mum.
Anyway, things are slowly improving for one and getting harder with the other.....

Hey there @Catcakes. 🙂 Good on you for adopting a caring role for your recovering SO and your Mum. My Mrs is my nominated carer and some of the things I put her through... phew! I hate my hat off to carers.
