My special place

My day has been ok thanks @Snowie I finally got in to see my GP who was shocked about the travel insurance. She gave me a couple of other options to try.

@Snowie Yes I hope my change of meds helps and doesn’t muck up my sleep or make me flip over to mania.

Thats good that you finally got into see your gp hon.

Hopefully those other options can work for you @Eve7 or at least one of them

I guess you can only try the med change @GezzaP I've had changes that didn't help but then have had some that really helped me. Hopefully your psychiatrist can keep a close eye on you whilst you go through the change.

I didn’t get into see my GP @Snowie , but spoke to my psych on the phone yesterday. She will call again next week. Hoping the change in meds will work. I reduced the dose last night and slept ok.

hoping to be able to drag myself into a bath later today.

I'm surrounded by people yet feel so lonely.

I should be grateful that I have people in my life. That I have professional help. That I am getting treatment.

But I still feel lonely. Trying to get the right words out is such a struggle.

I had my psych today. I froze. I dissociated. I couldn't say what was in my head. I couldn't tell her my thoughts. Just wasted an hour.

I don't want to email her. I don't want to waste her time. I don't even know what to write if I do, so there's no point.

Oh @Snowie sorry to hear that. I feel lonely too. I really struggled to talk to my psychiatrist yesterday and then my sister sent me a horrible text saying I am to blame for my depression. That was cruel. I got angry at her. My psych changed one of my meds and luckily I slept ok. Try to talk to your psych next time. I know it’s hard. Sending you a big hug.

I'm glad you slept ok @GezzaP

I'm sorry about your sister. That's a really mean thing to say. I would have got angry too.

I don't see my psych for another two weeks. I'm trying to use my SP.

@Snowie Oh that’s a shame you don’t see your psych for another 2 weeks. My psychiatrist is calling me next week. I am trying to be positive and hanging on for my local footy team to play in the grand final next Sunday. If I can stay awake I will watch at least some of the AFL finals on the weekend. The week days are the hardest for me as there is nothing on tv and I cannot afford streaming services. Only have a footy streaming service. I feel very tired this afternoon. What is a SD?

Hopefully you can watch the local footy @GezzaP and the AFL. Hubby's team is playing so we will watch it. We have foxtel but really only use it to watch the footy and formula 1.

SP is my safety plan. I've been trying to use it since I got home.

@Snowie Oh you have been in hospital? The local footy is in the daytime so I’ll definitely watch it. If I was feeling better I’d go to the game. The problem with the AFL is the time it is on. I used to have fox but it got too expensive for me. I have kayo which is significantly cheaper. Thanks for translating that term.

My cat has come back to sit on my lap. How’s your dog?
