Something’s not right

too much going on this week!

too much going on this week!

I am panicking about this week, i feel really physically week and shaky today, but i think its just that i'm letting myself get overwhelmed and I'm trying to break things down into manageable pieces. I have parent/tch interviews for three nights, a telemed appt with my psychiatrist to review my back to work stuff and meds, and then a trip to the capital city which will be a 14 hour round trip there and back (have to get home for the kids that night so have to do it in one day) for a family court ordered psychiatric review and I'm so scared about that. I'm terrified of what somone might say after meeting me for 1 hour and reviewing lots of writing/reports, court trial, and affadavits from my ex that are full of lies. the psychiatric review doesnt even include any documents from my current psychiatrist because that could bias his opinion.

I'm not sure how to get through everything and it feels like it never ends. just goes on and on. I'm terrified of this report saying i have '....' something or other and what that might mean for family court considering if i am a 'good' mother, (my children are well looked after!!) and b what it'll mean for my job if iget an official diagnosis of some other thing. at the moment i am dx as major depression and ptsd.

Re: too much going on this week!

more reports and assessments from my own treating time this time... the last report was from an independent psychiatrist that i only saw for 1 hr.

Oh that is excellent news @Former-Member

If I... who sits at a computer... can tell how much of a wonderful mum you are... people who spend time with you will have wonderful things to say about you.

I hope you have confidence in that.

I'm really glad they didn't just take the word of the psychaitrist and have opened it up to have others heard.

Re: too much going on this week!

Fancy making a comment about hiding your sexuality. Or does that mean you were modest. Approriate attire is personally and culturally dependant. A woman should not always have to cater for the male gaze! I was shocked by that comment.

I do hope your treating team backs you well ..

I am reading my sisters file at the moment and there is a lot of back and forward discussion about the suitability of my parents in 1960-70s. The individuals involved professionally seem to have a big sway. Fingers crossed you are fairly treated.

Take care.
