My special place

@Snowie

Please don’t apologise 💛 I’m glad you chose to share more about how that’s feeling for you! I would feel the same way. Will you talk to her about it when you see her? It’s a really tricky decision when something isn’t working with a psych you’ve built a relationship with and like, isn’t it? I know you’ve talked to her about it before, but I hope that if you do bring it up again she’s able to hear how important this is to you and find a way to ensure you mostly get to see her in person. Do you think she knows it’s a “this is a big enough deal to consider seeing someone else because of how ineffective I find it” issue or do you think she might just think it’s a preference?

And yeah, it’s been on and off for a year. I’ve seen a GP and they did a whole bunch of tests but couldn’t find anything. I thought it might have been some medication I’d started taking, but then the aches came back even after I stopped, so I tried it again, and they got worse again. It could just be coincidence though as it’s the same time of year I last tried them, so weather or pollen or something could be a factor? I should probably try exercise and other things that help with inflammation, but getting myself to follow through on that has been a bit of a losing battle 😅

May there be little glimmers of calm and comfort in your day 💛

Hi @Wintersweet

Approval for ECT came through about an hour ago so looks like ECT will go ahead on Fri. Just have to ring them tomorrow to make sure they have all the documentation they need.

I have spoken to the psych about it and how I don't find telehealth to be that effective. I'm not against telehealth, I would rather that than nothing. But most sessions I would prefer to be in person. I do realise that she has other patients to see too. I really don't want to start all over again with someone else.

I have telehealth on Thurs with her so will bring it up. She usually takes time off over Christmas/New Years too so have so find out how many weeks I'll be without appointments.

That must be hard if it's been on and off for a year. It's hard when all test come back fine so you are back to the drawing board. I hear you with the exercise!

My day has been ok. Cleaned some showers and did some meal prep for the coming nights.

How has your day been?
