My special place

Sounds like it’s very tough for you @Snowie . Is there a walking or running group you could join? Often they don’t talk much but are very welcoming.

I met a friend for breakfast as it was her h’s anniversary. We managed to talk about their happy life together and ended up spending 3 hours together! A big win for both of us.

Hooe your afternoon is ok 💙

@Eve7 I'm so glad you were able to spend that time with your friend hon. Time does get away from us at times. It must have been a good conversation!

I'm not sure if there are groups near me. It is something I would have to look into. Not sure my town is big enough.

I'm good at hiding from the world and hiding from people. I'm not sure my psych knows how hard it really is for me, not until she has walked in my shoes. But I guess that's not fair on her either, she is just suggesting things for me. She wants me to try and get out of my brain. I really wish I could do that too. Not proud of myself today.

I think you had a win talking to your psych honestly about your mum @Snowie and by listening to her suggestions. I understand how hard it can be to change our mindsets and actions after having poor mental health for so long.

We’ll get there hon, one step at a time.

💜💜💜

Well done for speaking about your mum @Snowie and about your thoughts.

How long is your psychologist going to be away for?

Sending 💙 and wishes...

Hi @NatureLover

My psychologist is away for 6 weeks in total. She is trying to get me in with another psych during that time since she doesn't want me to go that long without seeing someone. It would be at the same practice so they would have access to all my notes.

I agree with her. That is a long time to not see someone, especially since my pdoc is away for some of that time too.

They are both going overseas so won't be able to contact them via email either. Going to be hard.

Some days it is just not worth it

6 weeks is a long time...do you think you will book in with another psychologist at the same practice? @Snowie

Sounds like your day deteriorated yesterday 😞 Hoping you were able to get some sleep and that today is better 💙

Thanks @NatureLover

My psych has got me on a list for another psych whilst she is away, but there are no guarantees that I will get any appointments with them.

Been awake since about 4:30 this morning, couldn't get back to sleep.
