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

Thanks for explaining about the ECT, @Snowie . I understand now that the 3x per week is only if you are an inpatient.

Good luck with the dentist check-up today, and your ECT tomorrow...

Re: My special place

Thanks @NatureLover

I have to be in at the hospital by 7:30am for ECT. I couldn't imagine doing that 3 times a week, especially since we live an hour away. It also puts lots of pressure on others too. I have to have someone take me and pick me up and then someone to take S to school. It doesn't just affect me.

@creative_writer hoping today is going a little better for you today hon.

Re: My special place

@Snowie it’s hard living far away. I dread the hour ride to uni. I gave up on physically going to my pdoc appointments since he is so far away, like on the other side of Melbourne. I hope the dental check up went okay and today was kind to you 💖


I’m still struggling today, it’s just the reality of my life rn

Re: My special place

My pdoc is an hour away too @creative_writer I normally just talk to him over the phone or on video call. Everything seems to be in the city which is why it takes ages to get in there.

Dentist went fine, see him again in 8 weeks. Just been doing things around the house today.

I'm sorry you are still struggling today. Am around for awhile if you want some company or to chat.

Re: My special place

@Snowie I do video too. It would be an hour ish drive otherwise and it is one of those stressful drives. It does sound like today has been productive for you.

I’m not sure if there is much to say or do. When will the pain get easier? When will it stop hurting so much? I can’t stop ruminating over the past. It’s been worse since Tuesday

Re: My special place

Hi @tyme, how are you?

I feel like I should swallow the pain and stop complaining

Re: My special place

I wish I had those answers for you and for myself @creative_writer Yes I am feeling better, but it still doesn't stop the flashbacks. And I keep wondering to myself, how long will this last. Is it just a matter of time before the crash comes again.

I'm sorry it has been worse lately hon.

Yes today has been productive. Trying to clean the house up to my standard 🤦‍♀️Also trying not to just sit on the couch and do nothing all day.

Hi @tyme I hope your day has been good.

Re: My special place

@Snowie it is hard. Sometimes it’s hard to explain, it trauma symptoms can feel worse and you have no idea why. The flashbacks can be unpredictable. I wish I could do something so you didn’t have to feel the pain again hon 💖

Re: My special place

Hey @Snowie @creative_writer ,

I didn't have a good sleep last night, so I'm looking to have an early night. I just ate choc brownie to keep me awake lol. Probably not the best choice. But I'm waiting for dinner. Having spinach noodles tonight...

@creative_writer , hey hun, that's harsh. Pain is pain. It's not like you are making it up. I wish i could take the chronic pain away from you. Seems so unfair. I hope you get some answers about your pain.

@Snowie , what did you get up to today?
