Request

Hi, I am going to be taking a flight this Friday 7.30am to go to another city to see a psychiatrist for a formal diagnosis for dissociative identity disorder. It's the first time taking a domestic flight, and travelling on my own. I am going to be anxious and anxiety causes me to trance out and not think straight. I'm wondering if anyone will be around to chat with, like travel with me, distract me for the couple of hours I will leave the house to my destination. I think that describing what's going on, what I am seeing, etc, will stop me from dissociating. Apparently I have to be there at 5.30 to fly out at 7.30! I guess that means I will be leaving at 4.30am. I must be crazy...lol. No one has to commit, cause to be honest, I may not even remember writing this request. 🤞🤞🤞:face_with_rolling_eyes:🤦‍♀️🤪😂

Re: Request

That sounds like a great plan @Lemonjuice . I'm not much of a morning person and I don't want to put anyone on the spot and I know you wouldn't either but the early morning owls I'm aware of are @CheerBear , @Maggie , @Bunniekins . There are probably lots of others that I don't know as I'm not usually up 😂😜. Sometimes I'm going to sleep at that time so I'll jump on if I'm awake. Good luck with your trip.

Re: Request

That's huge @Lemonjuice!

As @Teej said, I'm usually up at silly o'clock, often having coffee with @Maggie 🙂 You might also see @Bunniekins, @TAB, @Ant7 and more around in the mornings too.

Wishing you the best in getting ready for Friday (if there's much getting ready to do).

Re: Request

@Bunniekins Hi, 2am!...glutton for punishment! I don't think I could wake up for walking at any time of the day, let alone night. No pressure. I'm just going to hang and whoever is around. It is kind of exciting. I am scared though because I don't trust the others inside and omg what is he going to ask...breathe!

Re: Request

@Lemonjuice yes it is exciting :D. We will have a party on the plane :p!! It will go well Lemonjuice. You are smart I could always tell that by your posts. Write up heaps of questions to ask and remember if you are not happy with the outcome you dont have to wear it you can go somewhere else for advice. Baby steps, baby steps.

You know what you have always reminded me of a caterpiller inside a crysallis waiting to turn into a butterfly. It is your time Lemonjuice to fly. Love peaxxx
