Well I'm finally home (again).
4 hospital stays in 91 days. Wow. No wonder it feels so strange to be in my own house again. Adjusting will take time. Cooking for myself will take time.
My house is in the same condition in which I left it. A pigsty. So no one room has warmth and charm to lift my mood. Will have to slowly start cleaning up - one room at a time.
I did go and watch my son play soccer in the finals. I'd been so sick this year - thst it was the first game I had been to all year. His team lost. But they play again next week. So still stand a chance of playing the grand final.
My son is still living with my mum. Has been since the end of April. Hopefully he will see how much I've improved on my new anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. Then he may choose to come home soon.
Was up and doing the washing early this morning. But now reading a book in bed.
Am very bored. But have AA Meeting tomorrow night.
And I have my WorkCover IME (independent Medical Examination) - psych interview with a tough psychiatric on the 30th of this month. Think it could be on Wednesday. And then I have my much waited for Psychologist appointment. Can't see him when I'm in hospital (too far away).
So that's it for now. A new thread for a new beginning.

Re: HOME

Thank you everyone. @Zoe7@Faith-and-Hope@Appleblossom@Mazarita@Shaz51.

I'm doing okayish. ups and downs. Had my session with my psychologist today. Nothing resolved. He just tells me that I need to start using my brain, my intelligence. Find something to use it on. Because I'm close to slipping back.

Told the Case Manager that I was furious with her, when I saw her on Tuesday, after a month. I got a call from WorkCover telling me that my request for an extension to this program has been accepted. I didn't apply. The case manager did. I said, I didn't want to see her anymore, because nothing we do, is making a differenc and I can't see the point in her coming. She just stresses me out more. But because she went and applied for an extension, without my permission, because WC have approved it, I have to participate in it, if I'm to keep receiving my WC payments. Not Happy Jan.

@Zoe7 - your picture of the Cockie is beautiful. Thank you.

Hope all of you are doing okay.

Re: HOME

@Faith-and-Hope@Zoe7. I know why she did it - extended the program - because I haven't really made any progress. But to do it without asking me - Not On.

But I doubt it will change anything.

And at the moment i could probably whinge about a hundred things wrong with our country and the world at the moment, that I am taking to heart, and being hurt by. But I can't see how I couldn't be outraged, unless I really had no empathy or compassion. My psychologist said I need to find the positives in these stories. Ha! I can't see them.

Re: HOME

There are some things going on in our world that there just are no positives to find @utopia - so you are not alone in thinking that way
