My special place

SnowieSenior Contributor15 Feb 2018, 9:51 am AEDT

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

I will have to watch it at some time @outlander I always liked the original one.

I am watching the one where Howard is in space and his mum is upset that he is moving in with Bernadette. It;s a funny one (well they are all funny)!

Re: My special place

How are your studies going @outlander ?

I had my group via zoom today. I spoke to one of the psych's there. She was going to ring my pdoc about what I told her. I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing. I don't know what my pdoc will say or if he will ring. I am not meant to talk to him for another week. I just hope she doesn't call the CATT team.

Re: My special place

im ahead in my studies now @Snowie
the online system has been down today so couldn't get any more done. I got the assignment you guys here helped with the other day and got another one done yesterday as well. slowly getting there with it. ive got a second course starting in may (think its the 12th) so im glad im ahead that way its less stress trying to get them both done.

im glad that you spoke to one of the psychs at your group today. did you find it helpful?
I hope that maybe your pdoc will be able to give you a ring for some extra support atm.
do you know when some face to face supports might reopen again like being able to see your support worker?
I find the phone calls very difficult, and much better to speak in person, is that the same for you?

Re: My special place

That is good news that you are ahead @outlander I am glad Sans could help you out the other night but it seemed to me that you had a good grasp on it yourself. You are one smart cookie hun!

It was helpful that she listened and took what I said seriously. I guess I will seee tomorrow if my pdoc rings or not. I know I could ring him but I don't want to feel needy and he is busy with other clients too.

My support worker is not helpful. I think I might try and find someone else. I am just not glueing with her. She is a nice lady but I don't think she is right for me.

I am finding the phone calls really hard. I find talking to them in person so much easier and helps more. I don't know when I can get back to face to face but I think that is one of the reasons I am struggling. My sh and si is so high at the moment that I can't think of much else and it is affecting every part of me. I feel like I have little control.

Re: My special place

im thankful for the support I have here even just sitting when im working through it is more then enough! @Snowie

im glad that she took you seriously too and actually listened. its good to have some sort of validation rather then being brushed off all the time.
im sorry your support worker isn't helpful though, finding someone else sounds like a good option. are you able to contact the company (or whoever needs to be contacted) to see if you could try someone else out?

I really hope they'll allow you to see your supports face to face soon. I know that if all my interacts with supports were on the phone I wouldn't cope all that well either. its just not the same as actually going in to see them face to face.
I know how the SI and SH can over run every aspect of our lives, its really hard to manage but we are here for you any time that you need to help you too.

Re: My special place

Sorry @outlander

My psychiatrist just rang me. He wants me to go back into hospital for more TMS and possibly ECT.

I have to message him tonight letting him know my decision. Means I would go into later this week.

Re: My special place

Thats a big decision @Snowie
What are your thoughts? Would talking to H help with the decision?

Re: My special place

It is a big decision. I have spoken to H, I think with how I am going lately it is probably the safest option at the moment @outlander

Re: My special place

Sounds like the right decision then even though an an easy one @Snowie 💜
Do you know when you may be admitted and how long for?
