I am exhausted. But not ready to call it a night yet. I got seen pretty quickly once in the MH ED amd the psychiatrist or psychologist I saw was actually very lovely. After what felt like a long chat he decided that I was safe enough to leave. Everything just for unbearable today.

My evening was ok...had dinner with the boys then we played a coding type game on the PS4 and of course a car racing game as my youngest is obsessed with cars...now I have just put my 12 yr old to bed and I am now sitting down having a coffee.
I am still struggling with my anxiety.
how are you feeling honey?

That's so great you got seen so quickly and it makes all the difference when the psych is nice and you feel comfortable enough to talk to them.
how you feeling now?

Ahhh, you are so lucky to have them with you and engaged with you. I miss my dinners with the kids and when haven't done a family day is sooooooo long.
I am sorry to hear about your anxiety though. I am not sure weather you have heard about it or not but I find my weight blanket does help a lot with my anxiety. Sometimes it's to ramped up and it only takes the edge off but it still helps.
I feel ashamed of how I behave today. I am stronger than that. So not use to being Vulnerable

It must be tough not being able to see your family because of the bloody situation we are in at the moment. I complain about how my kids driving me crazy but I am lucky to have them with me. Their dad will have them this weekend.
yea actually my psych suggested the weighted blanket. I checked them out online and I would live to get one however at the moment it's a luxury I can't afford.
sweetie we all have moments of weakness. There's nothing to be ashamed of... I am just really really glad it didn't work. You need to be kind to yourself and recognise that you were just having a really rough time and that was very valid.
did you connect with your psych/coun from hospital?

Never apologise for complaining about mr12 and mr8, I get it sometimes it's too much. It not because of the current situation that we haven't had family day they just stopped. It breaks my heart because we use have a close family now it's broken like everything else.
What will you do with yourself this weekend with the little gentlemen? I know how expensive they are and got lucky we where at Spotlight and they had an amazing deal on them. Exh2 actually brought one each for me and D1 and D2. I would be losted without mine now.
no I just came home apparently the dr there will send my psychologist a report. I will talk to my counsellor tomorrow , I have a better relationship with her than my psychologist.
What are you doing my sweetie @Lee82
