Hi @Former-Member

One if the doctors in our practice suggested that I see a psychologist one day when I turned up in her office distressed that WH was going downhill fast with an ed, and the doctor who owns the practice was inadvertently supporting him .... who was I supposed to tell about what was happening behind the scenes when his situation looked like a bed of roses on the surface ? She judged me as the main doctor had, as struggling to come to terms with my husband's new-found "success" and refusing to apply (or not having) enough self-discipline to follow his lead .....

Argh .... !!

I declined .... saying WTF ?? He's sick, but I'm the one who is being sent to a psychologist ???!!! How does that work ??

It was part o their intervention against me. They also started insisting that WH attend any appointments I made with the kids .... grrrr ....

I went back to the lady doctor a few months later, asking who she would sen me to see if I had issues with over-exercising, c/s, and OCD behaviours .... she looked at me quizzically, tryin to identify me with the conditions I was putting forward - had not even heard of c/s - then determined I would probably need to see several people including a psychiatrist .... at that point I asked who she would send me to if I were the wife of someone with these conditions going on .....

The penny dropped for her .... she heard me .... she understood - yay !! - but couldn't do anything to help me other than send me to a psychologist to support me as this thing played out in front of me.

So that's the page we're on. Psychologist is very concerned about the pressures in my life, so I keep going back to have a record that I'm doing okay .... and feedback that my concerns are valid.

Of course it's left WH with the impression that I have a "condition" .... lol .... my condition is him !!

Actually so lad his condition has led me to meeting y'all .... loving the spirit on this site .... being part of this community.

🌷💜

Morning all. @Faith-and-Hope - a hot one today alright. Enjoy given it is going to drop tomorrow! 😰
Interesting comment about psychologists. Do you think what they say is right advice for the person with MI always? If it's too heavy of a topic for this forum no need to respond.

@LooneyToones - glad you are feeling well. Hopefully I will get there. Feeling low just like yesterday again.

Hi @Shimmer, not sure how I feel, emotionally laden couple of days, tired and teary probably sums it up. Thanks for asking. Trying to tidy up a little, then podder in the garden. Sooooo many butterflies at the moment 🙂

@Faith-and-Hope, its good you have the unbias support of a qualified professional who acknowledges all the balls you're juggling, someone to validate you and yes, be a written account. We all need that really, do what you must to stay afloat.

I really do hope / pray your pending long trip brings a a diary full of joyful moments to use as a soft memory pillow in your old age 🙂
