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

im around @Snowie

just getting home again

I do understand how hard changing psychs are and having to retell your story too. maybe start small, your story doesn't have to come out all at once- you could try picking something that youd like to work on more..

Re: My special place

Thanks @TAB

@outlandercan you just come and sit with me? I have so many mixed emotions tonight. I feel like I have lost a really good support and feel to empty and alone.

Re: My special place

Sitting here with you too @Snowie

Two years with one pdoc is a long time. Of course it's not going to be an easy process to change. Try to give it another session or two to see if it gets easier. Did your previous pdoc give a handover to the current one?

Thanks @Sans911 @outlander

Re: My special place

@Sans911

that sucks @Snowie
can you ask your old psych to give them a summary or something to catch up rather then having to go through everything all over again

Re: My special place

I guess I could do that @outlander

I am so worried over this. I haven't stopped crying tonight.

I am going to make myself sleep tonight. I think its the only way to get relief.

Re: My special place

what is your main concern ? @Snowie I know your distressed about loosing your support and wondering if it was the right decision. but its there something else bothering you about it?
if this psych doesn't work out, you could probably go back to your old psych if that's most helpful

Re: My special place

I can't go back to my old psych. He is cutting down his hours and will not be avaliable anymore @outlander

I guess I am scared that I won't click with this psych and then I will have lost my main support. And without that main support I don't know what will happen to me. I'm afraid it will push me over the edge.

I don't know what is the right thing to do. I am just going to go to bed I think.

Re: My special place

being scared that you wont click is normal esp when weve had our other supports for so long @Snowie
its ok if you don't click with this one, see how you go, ask if your old psych can do up a summary so you don't have to go over everything and see if that helps, if not then have a look into someone else. you could have a look online yourself and see if theres someone who stands out to you too.
you don't have to know what the right thing is right now, sometimes it takes a little longer.
For now while these changes are happening maybe see if you could get a support worker? im not sure how to go about that but many people here have them as an added support person..
