My Mosaic

Gp appointment was ok @Snowie @Captain24 we talked briefly about what happened last week, thankfully she didn’t ask too many questions.
She cleaned me up from what I did to myself last night- last night was a bad night. I did not sleep much at all. So frustrated.
My gp had a phone call with my dietitian yesterday, they had suggested that I see a seperate psychologist for my eating disorder. SIGH. All my other mental health issues kinda take over and my ED doesn’t really get addressed at all in my psychology appointments. I have a referral through my ED support plan but I am very reluctant to do this. IF I manage to get myself to my psychologist appointment tomorrow I will mention it to her and see what she thinks. My gp and dietitian also want to organise this case conference.

I was suppose to go get my bloods done too, but I skipped that.

hope you are both ok today??

Happy to hear your gp appt. went ok @Bow

Perhaps a case conference would be good. It might put everyone on the same page.

I hope you manage to get to your psych appt. tomorrow hon.

Have you got any plans for the rest of the day?

Not got much on for the rest of the day @Snowie just finished on the treadmill and am now going to sit down and do some painting until it’s time to pick my daughter up. I’m tired though.

My dietitian tried to organise a case conference weeks ago, but apparently it’s not something that she can initiate. My gp or pdoc has to. But now that she has my gps backing I think she can now.

im terrified about going in for my psych appointment tomorrow. Don’t wanna go in that building.

I hope you enjoy your painting @Bow and can get absorbed into it.

I'm sorry there is so much anxiety around going to your psych appt. tomorrow. Is there someone that can sit and wait with you at all? It might ease the feelings around going.

Is there any toy you can take with you? Might be a sensory toy or something? It might help even just a little.

My psych always has the sensory toys out ready for me!

URGH call from comm mh, I have an appointment with pdoc tomorrow, 1/2hr before I am suppose to see my psychologist. Ain’t no way I am gonna get to either of them now. I just can’t

@Bow very frustrating, especially finding out with so little notice. What happens if you don't attend? If you could go to one, which one would you prefer to go to?

I don’t know what will happen if I don’t attend. I really see no point in going to my pdoc appointment. They make all the decision, so why bother. Last week she asked me what meds I thought I needed. I told her- but she had already decided that I would have none, so why even ask.
If I could attend one it would be my psychologist appointment @Jynx

I feel heaps sick this arvo. Struggle to focus cause my head feels like it’s spinning.

Hi @Bow

I'm sorry it seems that there is less autonomy with your pdoc appointments 😕 Is your psych appointment before your pdoc? Is speaking about the discomfort something you would want to do in psych appointment?

I am hearing that its hard to go into that building 💛

What do you find helps when your head feels like its spinning?

@Bow is it a case where the appts are simply too close together to be able to make it to both? Then maybe prioritise your psych appt and then if pdoc calls let them know that you weren't in charge of making the appts and thought the psych would be the more useful one to attend or something like that.

Aww hun, take it slow and steady yeah? Hope it subsides soon 🤞💜

@Jynx @fluffylight My pdoc appointment is at 10:30- usually goes for an hour and my psychologist appointment is at 11am and goes for an hour too. Realistically I could go to 1/2hr of pdoc, but I don’t want to. Have zero desire to see pdoc. And certainly don’t want the appointment to send me into an even bigger spiral and then have me in no frame of mind to then attend my psych appointment.
My psych appointment is a permanent allocated time. They should have seen that when they booked the pdoc in.
