Niquas Notes

Niquas Notes

I thought I might try some 'journalling' . Just write a little blurb out each day, basically what I'm already doing . . . just giving it a name . . a title, I suppose? But to give it some 'umph' in my head I'm going to try & remember how to start a new thread & call it 'Niquas Notes' 🙂
It's not even 11.30am & I'm having a tomatoe & onion sandwich for lunch 🙂 I think I've been forgetting to 'get around' to a few meals lately. It's pretty good 🙂
I think I need to go into town today & check the post office, I may have a parcel to collect (evil ebay again!). I might get some meat while I'm in there (probably sausages ;)), I don't think I've had a lot of it lately - though I had Tuna in some fried rice the other night 🙂 Pretty sure I've got a couple of DVDs to collect from the library too 😉 {which means waiting until after 2pm at least as they close from 1-2pm for lunch} Today being Wednesday, it's an off-lead walk day, so I'll take the puppies along & drop into the local Forest on the way back home 🙂 I really enjoy that walk myself, it might be one I've done a million times, but that's sort of part of what I think I really enjoy about it?;)? & of the camp trips, beach walks & places that I have been going to for a little while now - the local 'home' forest walk still gives us the most freedom & me the most confidence 🙂
I think I am recovering from the xmas kerfuffle. I've just polished off a banana, which I would normally have at breakfast, so I've just combined morning & midday meals 😉 & I've got a bottle of water with just a touch of Apple Cider vinegar in it :x I actually quiet like the tang & I do beleive my insides appreciate it 🙂 I've been having quite a few nasty waves of nausea washing over me for a while now.
I need to start 'beating myself up a bit' about the housework! I did get some dishes done before I went away, but there's still a mountain of pots and pans there!! & my mountains of dirty washing are growing death defying peaks!!! I did also get 1/2 the yard mowed, but the other half is overgrown & the 1st 1/2 could do with a trim (00)! & the general clutter continues to compact.
I must look online at what the costs of registering my puppies will be in my council, maybe I can do that while I'm in town? If I got the genny going & started tackling the dirty washing, I could mow my little fella's feet inbetween cycles . . . & then we could go to a favourite 'look-out' spot for a walk 😛 . . . that'd be nice 🙂
Well, by the time I get online, it'll be past Potatoe hour. So I'd better stop blurbing & post 😉
Love to all that need or want it, everything positive gratefully accepted 🙂
❤️

Re: Niquas Notes

hmm i thought the same thing @Former-Member re the school times. maybe take a look into it you might be able to appeal it unless its a permanently 40km zone.

im glad you were honest with your gp and shes listening to you, if you find you might need them she could look into another med for you.

hopefully your psych will ring by the end of the day. if its a mobile number could you possibly text your psych?

Re: Niquas Notes

The psychologist has just rung & I have an appointment for Monday. I will try to write some things down, I get the feeling I will fall apart. I didn't realize I'd been put on a plan for 10 appointments, I think that will help with the costs & it's good to know there are other appointments.

Re: Niquas Notes

i hope your psych visit goes well on monday Niqua, i think writing down some things you would like to say would be a handy idea @Former-Member

Re: Niquas Notes

Hi Niqua

Glad to hear you have the appointment on Monday now.

It's usually hardest with anti-depressants at the start, I have found. The side effects are at their most intense then. But they usually start to abate after a week or a bit longer.

Understandably, you seem to be in a grieving process that is changing day by day. Perhaps now is not the best time to make too many decisions, though they might give a peace for a while, relief from uncertainty.

But please disregard all of what I'm saying as you will. Whatever decisions you make, I support you.

My mood has lifted to some extent today with a visit to see my friend. But I seem to be falling into anxious voids many times throughout my days for now, inner agitation and depression wanting to suck me down. It is happening even when I'm around other people too. Seeing my psychiatrist again on Saturday if I can get a 'cancellation appointment'. Otherwise it will be next Tuesday for sure. Looking forward to taking the next step with the medications that will hopefully lead to relief from troubled moods and a better balance within.

Hoping you have an okay evening, with some peaceful moments if possible. Big loving hugs to you. @Former-Member
