Re: rough time
haha yep! @Snowie thats about right
Things have been really hard and still continue to be hard which is affecting me physically abit to like feeling tired more and just generally bleh and abit off. some i think is the heat and the humidity as well. but im just continueing to put one foot in front of the other and deal with things as they pop up. im suppose to see the headspace psych in about a week (gotta check the date again) but im not sure i want to go yet. i think i also have to go to the drs before then to get the care plan renewed but i think she said it automatically renews so im going to have to double check that too, dont particularly want to go to the drs if i dont need to.

@Sans911 also wondering how you are today and how you went with your packing/unpacking?

Re: rough time
I thought things were still hard on you sweetie. That is why I didn't want to press too hard. One foot in fornt of the other sounds like all you can do for now to get through. I guess the decision to see the psych or not to doesn't have to be made straight away.
Lots of hugs and 
for you @outlander

Re: rough time
its ok i dont mind talking sometimes @Snowie
ive spoke to an extent about going back to the psych but i still dont know. some days i think i think its good if i still go but then theres some days where i just think 'ive just had enough' things are complicated and alot of the time its to hard to talk about it- easier to shut down and just move forward i guess.
do you ever get like that?

Re: rough time
can understand exactly what you are saying @outlander. Sometimes it is easier just to shut down and not talk about something. You have lived through it, so why would you go to someone and talk to them about things you are trying to forget about, move forward from. I find that with my psych at times and the exposure therapy I am working with him on. Why would I want to go back and relive some of my trauma.
I think you have to think about what you want to get out of these sessions and if you think they will benefit you. I guess only you know the answer to that one hun.

Re: rough time
exactly @Snowie
i havent started trauma work yet, thats the intentions this yr. not sure if it is worth doing that yet or working on surface stuff but i find i just dont want to talk about 'things' sometimes either. she knows i dont want to talk about it but has said at some points i will need to even if briefly to keep moving forward. 10 sessions are so pressurised!

Re: rough time

Re: rough time
I guess trauma work or the surface stuff are both important. Perhaps you need to consider which one causes you more distress at this stage and which one is more important to concentrate on. Who knows, there might be a way you can focus on both at the same time.
I think all of us who go to therapy close down at times, I know I do. But yes, if you want to use these 10 sessions to help, then you will have to talk about things at times @outlander

Re: rough time
yes that is true @Snowie
its the working out which thing is best to talk about that is the hard part atm too. ive got another week before i see her so might be worth talking to her in the first session and see what she sugests to
