Changing meds

Thanks so much Em @Emelia8

Your advice helped me prepare for today's session - thank you xx

Oh @WIP

That is sensational news. Well done YOU!!!!

Do you have to still go and see him, can you not just cancel?

So proud of you hunny 🌹🙏🌻❤️❣️💞

Sounds like a fairly positive day @WIP . I am so glad you have the decision to change pdoc s and it sounds like the making of a good team with your Psychologist knowing and respecting her already.

This has been a huge day for you so well done! I appreciate your friendship.

Love

Eve

Thanks @Anastasia I'm proud of myself too.

I've been tooing and frowing with the idea of changing from this current psychiatrist to another one for a long time. And when I just blurted out today to my psychologist - "I've just been polite for too long now, staying and seeing this guy. It's time for me to look after my needs and swap to someone I trust", it was such a relief. Possibly not very professional of me (as she's a colleague of his), but it's what I've been feeling for such a long time.

I'd love to cancel on him, but I do owe him the courtesy of letting him know that I've decided to start seeing an alternative psychiatrist. They all work out of the same consulting suites at the hospital, so I need to do the right thing.

It's been ages since I've had to 'turn someone down' - so it's going to be difficult for me.

It has been a huge day for me @Eve7 and to be honest, I've just fallen in a heap and had a big cry!!

I appreciate your friendship too Eve, you're such a kind, gentle, thoughtful and considerate lady. I really enjoy your company.

🤗🌻🤗

Aww @WIP you saying that makes me cry. I am going to print it and put it on my fridge.

Thank you so much. I like being your friend.

💖💛💖

Oh @WIP so glad that today went well for you and that you have a good plan going ahead and that you have had the courage to make that much needed and difficult decision to change pdocs. Good on you!

Brave of you and good of you to want to go to your last appointment with your current one, I hope it’s not a too difficult a conversation to have ... use lots of ‘I’ statements... and that he is understanding and knows you have made the best decision for you. I probably would of just cancelled, so again good on you!

Hope your days continue to improve little by little.

It's all TRUE @Eve7 !!

I understand L, well I am even more proud of you. It's not easy telling someone you don't want to see them anymore in any capacity. So you go girl, I have the utmost respect for you, I need a leaf from your book xxx

oh @Eve7 what gorgeous @WIP said IS all TRUE. You are very special. You possess all of the qualities that equate to a beautiful friend. I value both of your friendships very much.

🌸💓🌹🌻💞

Thank you @Bow and I'm glad to hear that your day has been a little bit better.

Thanks for the advice around using "I" statements - that's a good tip! It's going to be a bloody difficult conversation for me, but I need to make the swap - it's been obvious for a long time & I've just been hanging in there because I felt stuck with him. I need to try and not worry about it too much until Wednesday morning, otherwise I'll just get myself wound up and overwhelmed and upset and I've done enough of that over the weekend!.
