Something’s not right

My special place

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

@Snowie Was glad to see you back online 💙

Would hospital look like more of an option after your D's 18th birthday is over?

Good luck today with your psych appt, and I hope you are able to cover what you need to cover in it...

Re: My special place

Hi @NatureLover

Unless my pdoc forces me to go in, I would rather not. I know it could help but I don't want to let my family down.

Saw my psych this morning. I told her what has been happening. She told me she is worried about my SH and SI and what I have been doing to myself. She wanted me to guarantee that I would be safe. Couldn't say yes. We spoke about a few things and she wants to start EMDR asap. She wants to start with a memory that isn't as bad as the other ones.

Also wants to increase my appt's to weekly ones so has put me down on the cancellation list for next week. I doubt that will happen anyway as she is really busy. I did promise her that I would get home safely so at least I have kept that promise.

Not sure if the session helped but I don't think things can get worse anyway.

Thanks for reading anyway

Re: My special place

Although it sounds like it was a difficult appointment, it also sounds like you were honest with your psych and this will hopefully enable her to provide you with the most appropriate support for you @Snowie which is good. I’m glad she is going to increase your appointments, hopefully you get a spot for next week.

Re: My special place

Got an email about my work cover and my registration today. All these forms I have to fill out and get my psych and pdoc to also fill out. So many things to cover. Sometimes I think is it worth it.

I know I should be thankful that I don't have to pay for my psych or pdoc visits, but it is so much paperwork that I get so overwhelmed with it all. Just throw it all in and wave that flag.

I have already broken the promise I made to my psych 😔

Can hubby help @Snowie ?

most of the time I like filling in forms (weird I know), but I can understand these types of forms probably are really difficult for you. Just remind yourself that these forms enable you access to your pdoc and psych, both of whom are important parts of your treatment and recovery.

Re: My special place

not really @Bow

I have to fill out these release forms, get a certificate from my gp, and then both the psych and pdoc have to fill out these forms. Then have to compile it all and send it all back before the due date.

Sometimes just seems too much trouble. My brain can't think that much.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, I hope you are okay and safe. Sometimes it’s hard to resist. I hope EMDR, I found it helpful. Filling in paperwork is never fun, but you are right, you are worth every bit 💖🫂. As @Bow suggested, maybe your hubby can help you fill them out

Re: My special place

It is hard to resist especially when it is so loud @creative_writer I have let her down.

I'm glad you found EMDR helpful. Did you spend much time doing it?

H can't really help, it is more things that I have to obtain when I go see my supports. I just don't want to waste a session on paperwork.

How are you today?

Re: My special place

@Snowie, reach out for support if you need to 💓.

With EMDR, the psych starts off by teaching you ways to regulate yourself before diving into the trauma. Even when the process start you start off with less distressing memories. I had a few sessions of it. How many sessions you have will depend on what the psych feels is suitable for you.

I feel you on not wanting to waste time on paperwork, but this paperwork does mean that you don’t have to pay for treatment and continue as normal
