Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Anony18

Hope you had a good day ...

Psychologists are human, so they won't have the right advice 100% of the time, but their training is very good, and if they apply themselves well, their advice will be correct, or good, most of the time.

As with any type of doctor, probably most important is whether you have a good comfort level with them.

Morning everyone! The weather in Perth has dropped by 10 degrees since yesterday! Had a free breakkie with work today. Am so full now. Still feeling somewhat flat but hope things will sort out soon enough.

@Faith-and-Hope - I obviously have no experience with Psychologists other than what my partner tells me. I guess it is interesting cause from what he said - his psych tells him he should cut all ties and have no relationships. Because he only talks to his psych about how he feels that is the only advice he appears to get. Not saying the psych is right or wrong but guess to me it is an odd concept cause cutting ties means not having any support...if that makes sense. End of day of course it is his choice which I think he struggles with cause in his frustration/low point a couple times he mentioned that his psych tells him to do that but other people convince him otherwise. Though if he is telling me this and how he feels depressed maybe that is his way of opening up? Hard to gauge cause obviously best person to answer all this is him - and he is currently feeling the need to constantly flee overseas.

Good afternoon @Anony18, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom, @Shimmer xx

Happy Birthday @PeppiPatty xoxo

Did you hear about the man that walked into a bar , OUCH

Hi @Shaz51 - that is funny! How are you feeling?

Happy birthday @PeppiPatty

Getting there @Anony18 xx

how about you ?

@Shaz51 - that is great to hear. Slowly but surely right?

I am having a flat few days but surviving. The uncertainty of life getting to me but I always try my very best to be positive. Generally I am good but we are only humans and past few days it has been a bit tough.

Writing in these forums as I say and will say once again helps. All of you here are just so wonderful and am so blessed xx

Hi @Anony18 xx

very best to be positive-- that`s the way to go my friend

yes we are only humans as well and we have to remember to care for ourselves too as well to look after others

ha ha hope that doesn`t sound too irish xx

HI @Former-Member

yes i wrote it once before. I definitely find it odd as well! And also to say he shouldn't have any relationships. I have had this feeling he is purposely trying to test me or push me away cause he spoke once about how he won't be looking for someone else but I should be open to someone who can give me so much more. It doesn't help that his ex cheated on him but he stayed with her and when his dad passed 4 years ago she left for london just like that. Plus his brother's ex left the brother for the best friend. Also doesn't help that his family is all reliant on him to care for them mentally so he puts their needs before his own.

I will say I haven't had the conversation directly or shall I say properly cause it gets hard when he is fleeing overseas to get away. I sent him a card last week saying am here for him. Definitely something to have a face to face convo. When that will be is another question. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Here is to me hoping
