I’ve really struggled today. Guess it kinda is the beginning of the new normal with my SW. she called this morning. I nearly wasn’t gonna answer, just wasn’t ready. But I did. We chatted a bit, she asked what my week looked like and I told her I had group today, arts and craft Wednesday and then my psych on Thursday. My old SW had explained about my Monday group and that I often need to debrief afterwards. I didn’t contact her afterwards today. Didn’t feel like I could. I know she said to if I needed, but it all felt too much today.
Group was hard today. Pfft it always is. Second last one. I shared how the last week had pretty much been a write off and what that all looked like, the different modes and schemas. And then we did healthy adult work. We have next week off and then the following is our last group.
im fairly annoyed. I think I mentioned yesterday that the SW that called me made comment that I was going to be leading arts and craft on Wednesday and that she would be there to help. Well my new SW made the same comment today! I am NOT leading group every week. I am happy to lead it every now and then when I see something cool that we could do and that I was happy to help out when I can. But it is not my job to lead every week. No. Nope. Not happening. Like my SW asked this morning what I thought we could all be doing. I did say that they all wanted to finish their Christmas decorations from last week cause that’s what they said they wanted to do. And I told my old SW that I would be happy to do watercolor Christmas cards once. But that’s it.
it’s really hot here today. Which is tricky when my intake is low. I had to walk from the carpark to my group this arvo in the heat. I did not feel too well. Laying on my bed in front of the fan now.
