Something’s not right

Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

I seem to struggle a lot with feelings of 'liking' and 'caring about' in certain relationships.

For example, I might like someone and want to talk to them, but that's bad because I shouldn't want that, so I have to police myself to not talk to them which makes me upset, which is even more reason to be ashamed by the intensity of the feeling which I shouldn't even have in the first place.

Does anyone else understand what I mean?

@TheVorticon @Appleblossom @Bunniekins

I meant the hospital contacted private health...

I got an SMS on my phone today from hospital with the $$quote...

very expensive to pay without private health insurance

That seems pretty tough having to cancel for now and wait to reschedule @jamesle2015. How are you feeling about it?

@jamesle2015

Good to hear from you. I wondered how you were. Best decision.

Sounds like your thoroughness paid off. Best check tomrw, as they might be better at sending invoices than cancelling ... if you know what I mean. Nobody wants unfair bills.

Take Care

@TheVorticon I am reluctant to do the surgery....I am going to get a referral to see another specialist

I need more antibiotics

The private health insurance companies make things hard ...

The hospital waited until late on Friday to tell me I wasn't covered

See what happens

Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

@Appleblossom good idea ...best if I call the hospital and confirm I won't get invoiced🙂

I emailed the specialist at the clinic but will call them to let reception know to tell the surgeon I emailed....sometimes they don't bother to check emails I suspect

@jamesle2015

I am just getting more careful, these days, cos too many things are on automtic pilot.

I hope the delay is not a serious health or pain problem.

Take Care

@Appleblossom it's not painful but it needs to be treated - it's an ongoing thing

I'll need to see another specialist

Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

@TheVorticon @Appleblossom I hope there are alternatives to surgery...I hope

.....see what the specialist says

Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

Yeah I hope so for you too @jamesle2015. Have you been able to set up an appointment for the second opinion?
