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, I know appointments can bring up difficult emotions. Today was hard for me too even though I barely opened up with my MH nurse. I remembered how humiliated I felt when I had my last pdoc appointment, I felt like I overshared and feel embarrassed. The question he asked me was a bit too direct for me 😬. I probably could’ve not answered, I don’t even know why did

Re: My special place

I'm sorry today was hard for you @creative_writer I find opening up really hard too. I think my guard has been up for so long, it is hard to let go.

I knew it was coming @Bow yet I didn't feel prepared for it. Just felt like I was invisible. Mostly my fault since the psych would ask me my opinion and I would just give her vague answers.

I just have to step outside my house and there is a walking track, but it gets quite busy. Would rather go where there is no one around. I always treat myself to a coffee after my psych appointments. I guess a bit of a reward for getting through the session.

Will gladly hide with you hon 💗

Re: My special place

What does 'How are you' really means.

Do people just say it out of courtesy? Say it because it is just a part of their vocabulary. Do they really want to know how I am going, or are they just hoping I say 'fine' just so we can get to the next part of the conversation.

What would actually happen if I said the truth. I don't think other people would know what to say or do.

Hey @Snowie hope your day is going ok?

Just seen something on TikTok that made me think of you. It’s called an anxiety bookshelf. It’s so cute I want one! It’s a shadow box with a little book shelf inside it full of tiny little books. When your stressed you shake the box and all the books fall off the shelf (but stay inside the box) and then when your anxious you open the box and put all the books back on the shelf.

Sending love @Snowie

That sounds like a good idea @Bow. My need for order would make me fix it but I think it would create more anxiety for me.

Re: My special place

Ohhh @Bow that sounds like a great idea. I like the idea of my own little book box.

Was thinking of you too. Just finished reading Spare by Prince Harry. Was a great book. Now reading Matthew Perry's book. Good so far.

@NatureLover I am ok, just waiting for the mobile dog groomer to turn up. Izzy needs a bath and a clip! I hope you are going ok?

@Captain24 💕
