My special place

Pleasing news @Snowie enjoy the couch. I’m sitting in my armchair waiting for psychiatrist to call. GP is calling later and it’ll be very late for me because she’s always really late. Eating early today.

Enjoying the silence @GezzaP

I hope your appt. with your pdoc goes well

I think most gp's run late!

I’m listening to the radio while I wait for my psych to call. Eaten already. @Snowie

hey! @GezzaP @Snowie

@Snowie glad to hear that you get a bit of quiet and peace today, much deserved!! and it's also good to hear that your mum's not continuing the argument either. hope she has a lovely time.

are you enjoying the silence on the couch today, or doing some reading too?

@GezzaP how's your body pain, any improvements today?

Hi @rav3n

I almost ignored her phone call this morning. I know she wants to go to the street tomorrow so she'll be nice to me. Always is when she wants something.

The silence today has been nice. Spent time napping, crying, watching tv.

Down loaded some more books onto my reader too.

Good afternoon @Snowie,

How are you today? 💖

Replacing things in you toolkit to match where you're at is such a helpful strategy.

And yes, very lucky you have a big handbag! hehe

Yeah, it's so tough being in a conversation that lacks authenticity, isn't it? Do you have anyone you can just be you around?

I completely understand holding your deepest and darkest close to your heart. I would like to let you know that even if you think your thoughts and feelings are too much to share, they are likely very understandable and would be held with compassion, especially in a therapeutic context.

I really love how much journaling helps you, it truly is such an amazing tool for releasing and processing emotion. You're doing great work.

Big hugs. 🫶

Today's been ok @AuntGlow It's been really quiet and non eventful, which is good.

I've been using my SP which has helped me.

The only person I can be myself with is my hubby. I have no friends. No one who I could turn too.

I should be thankful that I have him. I know some people don't have anyone.

I have shown my psych some of my journal. Just a few parts of it. Especially when I struggle to say it out loud, I can show her what I'm thinking instead.

But those darkest thought, no one has ever seen.

Yes @rav3n body is better today. I found some pain relieving gel. Used that and pain is eased. Will put some more on after my GP calls.

I had a nap too @Snowie . Back, neck and head better today. Waiting for GP to call.

@Snowie oh so this is a bit of a pattern with mum 😕 that does suck.

glad you got to rest up at least. what are you reading at the moment?

@GezzaP yay! good to hear you found the gel. hopefully the pain disappears soon!
