Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

Do you have any idea when you'll know (I have so many 'what thes' - I can't imagine how you might feel 😖)?

Mine was good thanks. I hadn't seen psych for a few weeks and he helped settled some DSP hopeless feels.

Ugh @Teej. I'm sorry that was the outcome of today for you

Re: Just checking in.

I just read the other post @Teej.

Sounds so confusing and like there's so much unsure about it. That would have done my head in and I'd be very jumbled up I think.

So sorry 😞

Re: Just checking in.

Thanks @CheerBear

 

The good - is that I’m not feeling suicidal like I thought I would. The urges to sh are not strong at all which doesn’t make sense just yet but I’m going with it.

 

The bad - there was lots to feel hopeless and helpless and unfixable. 

 

The ugly (strange) - I may have met my match. Her approach is very much tough love and calling things for what they are which I kind of like......although :pile_of_poo:scared at the same time. If I could find and keep respect for her and trust her and the process then it could work. If not there may be lots of chair throwing and sh and possibly attempts if it was to go ahead. 

Re: Just checking in.

OMG @CheerBear that was 'all about me' 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:. 

So glad your appointment went well and you’ve been able to deal with the dsp stuff a bit better. 

 

I was trying to find a gif but haven’t succeeded yet. It was along the lines of I know you’ve got this. I’m a believer 😊

Re: Just checking in.

I'm hiding from a little crew that all at once decided to try to tell me everything about their day, then all at once crack it because I couldn't make sense of anything when everyone was talking all at once 😏 Oh my.

Again you're sounding OK considering it all (again I get OK sounding and being can be different) @Teej. That good is awesome. The bad is understandable though we know those feelings can come and go lots (they suck when they're there). The ugly sounds scary but also maybe like there's something hopeful and good in it. As you said it could work but it may be a little (a lot) rocky.

My psych is my match. We massively butt heads and have years. He pushes buttons (which I am sure I do with him also) in a huge way, but we both have respect and trust with and for each other. Its been a very helpful working relationship and it's very different to ones I have had with other professionals. I just wanted to share that one as the way you spoke then reminded me of what working with my psych has sometimes been like.

Do you have any plans tonight or anything on for the weekend to look forward to? I was out in the garden today getting a vegetable patch ready. Spring is nearly here 😊

Re: Just checking in.

Thanks for that @CheerBear. It helped to read about your relationship with psych.

You know what I am actually ok, let’s hope the wind doesn’t change 😜

i am putting big girl pants on and watching one of mine in finals tomorrow. All three are in them but it’s making me so sad that one can’t play because of busted knee. He will miss all next year too because we don’t have health insurance, needs a full knee reconstruction 😥

I’ll leave you with little crew, made me smile 😊 

i hope you have nice moments this weekend. About to take dog across the road and see almond blossom. 🌸

 

Re: Just checking in.

So glad you're OK @Teej. Hugs for the sad feelings - that would be hard. I hope it feels good to go tomorrow.

Two of the crew are now making mud potions and I'm about to start building (or trying to) garden beds while they do. And probably needing to remind one that flouro plaster and mud is perhaps not the best idea (then watch them learn that one the hard way)!

💗 for you. Catchya later 😊

Re: Just checking in.

Found this today and it reminded me of you @CheerBear 💜

 

i hope your day is going ok

Re: Just checking in.

Huge smile seeing that when I logged on @Teej thank you 😊 I love that one.

I haven't stopped today and have played in the vegetable garden for most it. It's looking a little exciting as it was a huge patch of dirt and weeds but it now has beds and flat paths which will be way easier to manage. I totally overdid it and am aching and tired but it's a good kind of tired in a way. We put a few little potted flowers in there which the crew chose (always have to have flowers) but will wait a little longer before the vegetables go in 🙂

I've been wondering how you have been and how you're doing. Would love to hear if you'd like to share. ❤ for you however you are

Re: Just checking in.

I did the same as you today @CheerBear, finally got digging and saved my rose which was overgrown. Pulled weeds all afternoon too from pots, cracks in the paving garden beds, but totally randomly so nothing I’d very finished but I have a big pile of weeds. My son came and concreted around the shed. It’s finally finished. I can’t remember when it was started but it was over a year ago. Now I need to get some shelves for it. 

This morning I spent time just net surfing and found inspiration when I went looking for something for you and sans. Feeling ok which is strange because I should be climbing the walls, I’m 5 days late and that is usually like hormone hell for me. Secretly keep wondering if this could magically be my last one. One of the conditions for that therapy is that I go back on hrt 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:. That one I can live with ok and isn’t a huge drama. 

So that’s me. 

Im so glad you had a good day too. Here’s hoping we can keep this human feeling going a bit longer. 💜🤗
