Re: rough time
My pdoc asked if I would be in touch with the replacement mh nurse. I said probably not as it's not the same as the connection is different. It might be a difficult NYE period for me.
Has your day gone okish? How are you tonight?
Mr A is in his bed & I don't know where Jasper is.

Re: rough time
That's so tough you have to put up with this bad tooth for a couple more months before it comes out. How frustrating for you.
I'm really worried about the anniversary of my last big attempt in Jan might trigger off another one this NY period. Not a good time to have limited services. I will probably be on here to try to be safe. I just have to try to be really aware of what's happening as often when I get to that point I dissociate a little and become unaware. The risk is really high, and I don't think that any professional is taking me seriously.
Do you want to talk about the wobbly feelings at all?

Re: rough time
Frustrating and painful indeed @Sans911
That is really worrying. I often worry about you esp during anivrrsaries. I tend to dissociate too and its hard to know whats what in that state.
Can you see if you can book some gp pdoc and psych appts in advance to at least have those? Maybe you could meet the replacement mh nurse beforehand and see if you click with them even for those few weeks?
My wobbly feelings are the thoughts im starting to relapse more towards where i was during my last attempt but i dont really know how to stop it either. More meltdowns panic attacks unstable moods where im so anxious but im low too. my dreams latley have been really emotional with quite alot ending in death or something bad happening. They are coming more as like watching myself and anyone else in the dream from above.

Re: rough time
When are you next due o see someone from Headspace, or is that next year? Have you used your worry box lately? Can you think of anything that might help prevent a relapse at all? @outlander
The problem for me is that time of year almost everyone is taking time off during the Christmas break. I'm seeing my support worker on Thursday so I'll ask her or some

Re: rough time
I see the psych from HS on friday this week but then not until march when ill have the 10 sessions again @Sans911
Ive used the worry box abit but its usually the same things. Ive been working on having a daily goal or very short term goals to achieve to keep abit of direction and focus happening. I have one assignment-just one before the entire course is done and ive lost motivation to do it. Its not even hard just narrating a report written in front of me then send in the recording.
I dont really know whatll help now so that is worrying. i need to try and bring myself up somehow. Perhaps its the added stress tipping me over the edge. Or meds need adjusting again.. seems im just getting pumped full of those bloody things. Or being scared of the upcoming stuff getting to me. Or a combination....
Hmm yes time off can be a problem. I really hope your support worker can help arrange things and have things in place. That would be a good start!

Re: rough time
It doesn't matter if the same stuff is in the worry box. That's what's it's there for, but I hear you feel a little frustrated with that.
You always have lots of responsibilities to take care of, so it's no surprise you feel overwhelmed. And feeling unwell on top of that is just an added burden.
Do you have any clove oil at all? I think you can buy it from the supermarket or chemist. And it's not too pricey. You can use this in a warm mouthwash, about 5 drops in half a glass. It helps to numb the pain a little, and has antiseptic properties. You can also use peppermint oil as well.
Setting daily or small goals is a good idea. Don't forget to include time for you to attend to self care. Reward yourself in little ways. You so deserve it. I know I haven't worked on my reasons for living book for a while. Do you want to work on our individual projects at the same time for a few days? It would help motivate me. Maybe we can start on Thursday afternoon, as I'm busy tomorrow too.
And no, not triggering me at all lil Sis @outlander

Re: rough time
Ok im glad your ok to talk with. Its taken me a long time to be brave enough to say anything really. I dont like worrying others.
Ill try to use my worry box a little more, i havent really been doing the journalling part like i was before.
I dont have any clove oil but i can try and find some or order them through a chemist so i get them from their main warrhouse. Thank you. Im out of lavender oil too so havent been using the diffuser either. That was helping abit too.
I cant use peppermint unless its like a cream. Every time i do i get like a reaction and start to choke on it. Weird..
Are you refferring to the self soothe books we started? I havent done mine for a while or we can start a new project. Im ok with either. Thursday afternoon works for me though itll prob be evening by the time it hits your afternoon with the big time differences now

Re: rough time
I'm pleased you're talking with me now @outlander
You've been very quiet lately. And I worry whether you are quiet or talking to me lol so you may as well talk to me.
And yes, the self soothe book is what I'm referring to. I'll try to come a bit earlier Thursday afternoon.
