My special place

I hope that is good news for you @Eve7

Also hoping that they still support you when you go home.

I never want to be in hospital but it is a safe place to be.

You’re so right about it being a safe place @Snowie . They won’t even let me have my knitting!! I’ve connected with a couple of lovely ladies here and we’re going for a walk together soon so that has stopped me crawling into bed with prn.

I am trying very hard to break the cycle of depression and anxiety. I can’t say I’m having much success yet but I’m trying.

How’s your day been so far?

Hi @Snowie,

I'm sorry to read you are feeling like crap. Those sessions can really take it out of people - they can really use up a lot of energy. I can only imagine it might be a bit off-putting to see another psych while your psych is on leave but maybe this psych might be a nice surprise in the sense that you might find a real connection and/or something about this psych's technique might be different / appealing to you.

I know things haven't been easy for you and I really hope you start to feel a little better really soon.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

Thanks @FloatingFeather

@Eve7 my day has been hard. Saw my psych this morning which has helped but also hasn't if that makes sense.

I hope the rest of your day has gone well.

I am sorry your day has been hard @Snowie I remember how positive you were when you first came home from hospital and I’m really sad that hasn’t continued for you. Life isn’t fair…that’s what our group was about today.

Love you sweetie 🩵💜🩵

@Eve7 no life isn't fair. Trying hard to stay present and in the moment. It is hard work. The flashbacks are very consuming and tiring. I'm wondering again how early I can take my night meds.

I really hope the change in meds help and things can be better for you.

Thinking of you too @Snowie

Spoke to the psychiatrist today. Told him everything about what has happened, my sh and si thoughts and the increase in prn. He allowed me to increase my prn, but still wants H to control all my meds 😔 He did mention hospital but told him I really didn't want to go unless it is absolutely necessary. However if I go in I want it to be my decision.

So for now I need to ride out this storm that seems to be not letting up.
