That sounds as if it was pretty ordinary -

You have to wait until Thursday to see your own doctor - who knows you - right?

This won't be easy - keep in touch

Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member @comet

I am being held for ransom by D3 this morning ....... grrrrr !! ........ can't get her to school at the moment and if I push her any harder she will dig her heels in harder !!

She has two overdue tests waiting for her at school, last day she can complete them, and that is probably what her stalling is over, but she is being quite deliberately vague and controlling .....

She wants to go to a psychologist, wants her feelings and the dramas she has struggled with and survived recognised as significant, whereas girls at her school, and teachers, will be rolling their eyes at what a drama queen she is being ...... yes, she has struggled, but she is making it harder on herself as well .......baby-dragon-itis here ....... and she probably will end up going to a psychologist anyway.

Between the doctor and the school counsellor who is an educational psychologist, they agree that she is suffering circumstantial depression (as I am probably, owing to the ongoing difficulties of our situation) rather than a deeper seated depression issue, but D3 is wanting attention for it anyway, wanting recognition as someone who is unwell and needs to be exempt from school boundaries and requirements. It is probably a psychologist who will need to help her to sort all of this out ...... someone outside our situation who can listen to it all and help to keep her steady through her last term of school.

So frustrated ...... but there is only so much I can do ...... so grateful to have the forum here to help me cope when I am stalled like this ...... supposed to be meeting my best friend for a long-overdue catch-up and the time is passing while I sit here waiting, waiting .....

Girlfriend has had a long-term struggle with an Ehlers-Danlos daughter, and fibromyalgia / depression issues of her own ....... hate to keep her waiting open-ended ........

Grrrr .....

Thanks @Former-Member

I suspected we were on a similar page with our youngest ones, you and I. So hard to keep picking it up and putting it back together. Baby steps all the way ..... each day as it comes ..... and there are some days I just sit in my car somewhere instead of going straight home ..... giving myself a "time out" ❣

I like how 'like' means like, and "I hear you" ..... both meanings ..... or either ..... and I think we all tend to use them that way.
