My Mosaic

Hopefully @Snowie its nearly September already!

will be thinking of ya all tomorrow.

D got her pen license at school today and got her some pens that I’ve just labeled for her. I couldn’t stop there…..

Well done to D @Bow Thats a big step for them.

Hehe I would label the dog too if I could. I love my label maker!

It is nearly September. Time for them to let you know what is happening.

Hoping tomorrow goes smoothly.

Hi @Bow

Hoping your appt. went well today

Sending lots of 💗💗

Hey @Snowie hon, how did the big move go???

I went to arts and crafts today. I did a little dot Mandala and then I worked on some cards. My SW was there when I arrived and pulled me aside for a quick chat before she headed out on supports. She was heaps proud of me for getting there today considering how I’m feeling at the moment. And she gave the SW facilitating group the heads up too incase things get a bit too hard and stuff. I took my headphones too.

just finished moving some furniture upstairs, had my brother come over and help.

I need to go downstairs now and package up an order

Hi @Bow

Move went ok, just really tired now.

Super proud of you too hon for going today. That must have taken a lot for you to get there. Glad you could see your SW before the class. Headphones would have been a good idea. Can tune out if needed.

I’m sure you are tired @Snowie any kind of moving is exhausting! You can relax a little bit now? Knowing your mum is safe and looked after?… not that she wasn’t safe and looked after with you, but it’s on someone else now.

Yeah it was a lot of effort to get there today. I didn’t really wanna be there, but I can’t keep isolating myself.
psych tomorrow and I am sure she is gonna lecture me about not attending last week. I absolutely don’t understand why she makes it such a huge bloody issue every time. I’m sure there are others that miss appointments, for goodness sake we are people who struggle with our mental health and it’s such a huge effort to go anywhere sometimes. Yeah I understand we need to be there to do the work. Sigh I just don’t need her lecture. I’ve heard it before. Think I’m gonna write stuff down. Tell her exactly why I didn’t go.

Hoping this is for the best @Bow I guess only time will tell.

Still trying to sort through paperwork.

Writing things down might be helpful. Even if you don't give it to her, at least it is something you can keep going back to. Often I will write things down for my psych. That way I know what I need to say or what to talk about. Even when I can't say it, I can at least give it to her.

You have every right to tell her why you didn't go. Yes therapy is good for us, but sometimes taking time out for ourselves can be even better. You need to go with what feels right at the time.

Hey @Bow ,

Sorry to hear about your anxiety. Do you have something coming up that is causing this anxiety?

hi @tyme

yeah appointment with my psychologist tomorrow.
I couldn’t get there last week. Physically and mentally I was really just not ok. But she tends to give me a lecture when I don’t go. I called. I let them know I wouldn’t be there. I seen my CM the following day and talked with her about it. But I’ll still get it tomorrow.
she also possible has some info regarding therapy options once she goes on maternity leave. So I am anxious about that too.
