Something’s not right

My special place

SnowieSenior Contributor

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

I have a copy of my safety plan on my phone @creative_writer and my psych and pdoc have copies too. At least it is close by when I need it. You could always just take a photo of it and have it on your phone.

Re: My special place

@Captain24 my hair requires a lot of moisturising, it’s insane. I use a bit of oil before shampooing and then follow up with a hair mask instead of conditioner. And use something to detangle my hair too. My hair is a mess. I don’t think stress helps, im grateful that it’s not falling out in clumps like it used to but it needs lots of help and maintenance.

Re: My special place

Me too. @Snowie I went to the hairdressers a while back and then straight to my GP she said OMG I’ve never seen you with your hair out! Lol

The getting up early will be hard. Do they go to school in your town or do they have to travel over to the next one?

When is D’s leadership presentation?

Re: My special place

@Captain24 their school is about a 10 minute drive from where we live so nice and close. I normally take them and pick them up but they can catch a bus home if needed.

Her leadership presentation is in just over 2 weeks. I am not sure if I will be there. I think I will be in hospital by that time. But my hubby can go and hopefully I will be able to watch it on line. Ever since covid they have been filming it so hoping they do it again.

Re: My special place

I have found that Covid has made some things easier and more accessible! @Snowie. Some good had to come out of it.

My therapist appointments are all Telehealth. She lives in the same town as me! It takes me just under 15mins to drive from one side of town to the other!

Sorry, I was hoping her presentation was this coming week.

You should hear something on Monday shouldn’t you? I get how hard the waiting is even though mine was a totally different scenario

Re: My special place

Thanks @creative_writer

@Captain24 I have to drive about an hour to see my psych. We do have some closer by but they don't specialize in what I need. My pdoc is an hour away too in the other direction. I guess that is what happens when you live in a small town.

Hoping I hear something Monday but when I spoke to them the other day they said it could be up to 2 weeks wait. I guess I just have to play the waiting game. It is becoming more difficult to do however, I think some of my meds are just not working anymore and the hole is just getting bigger.

Re: My special place

@Captain24 in some ways it has made things more accessible. I try to see my psych in person. But for the counsellor in between, I do telehealth since she is far. I found a good psychiatrist that is taking new patients but he is far from home too. Will probably be doing mixture of in person and Telehealth with psychiatrist.

Re: My special place

Spoke to hospital today. They said a doctor had been assigned to me. They were meant to ring back about when I am getting admitted but didn't hear back from them.

Guess I shouldn't expect any more.

Re: My special place

Sounds very frustrating @Snowie I hope this “waiting game” doesn’t go on too much longer.
