Hello lovely @NatureLover @Anastasia @Eve7 @Eve7 Hope you're all travelling along ok - I think of my sane forum friends often.
I'm travelling along alright. Had some challenges during the week as I made a formal request to see a female psychiatrist (a particular one who has a terrific reputation) as the man I see atm has been very dismissive, rude, roadblocking and unhelpful (I could keep going, but will stop there) & causing me great distress. So the wheels are in motion there.
Also, I decided against TMS for now & are changing AD (back to one the I was on for years and helped). An option the augment it with another medication is there also, if thing don't improve in a couple of months. So I've started tapering then current one & will start the new one in a week 🤞
I can always come back in for a go at TMS down the track - so there's options.
I'll be keeping up with regular psychologist sessions & are on the wait list for the intensive 6 month DBT course, or do another day program as an outpatient, maybe ACT focussed.
I'm attending the group sessions here pretty much every day & soaking up as much therapy as I can, even though they can be triggering.
Im a bit flat & anxious today, starting to feel a bit of cabin fever & I miss Levi & Mum.
@NatureLover I'm happy to report I'm back on Centrelink payments!! That was an ordeal in itself, but won't bore you with the drama. But my medical exemption is valid for the next 90 days, then I go through it all again. Hopefully if this female pdoc takes me on, she can help me with a DSP application. My current pdoc is useless with admin & the reason I was cut off in the first place.
Love to you all & I really appreciate your messages. 💙🌻
