My Mosaic

[Bow]

So I got drilled a fair bit today by my regular psychiatrist. She was concerned about me going away. I understand her concern… and my mums too. But I reassured her that I am feeling ok and that I feel confident that I will be ok- that was enough for her. She trusts me- to which I said thank you. 

i went and picked up all my meds, I haven’t actually checked them, but I think they are all there. I was a bit worried about one particular one, but that one is fine. That’s another thing ticked off my list. 

now I just have my dietitian appointment on Friday. And then my psychologist on Monday and then we are off.

You are sounding positive @Bow and that’s awesome to see. I’m glad that you feel ok and are confident for your trip! 

[Bow]

I feel terrible low today. I know I should be really excited and I am, but the dark cloud that my head is in is horrible. 

[Captain24]

I’m sorry you are feeling this way @Bow 

Here if you want to chat

[Bow]

Thanks @Captain24  but I don’t wanna bother anyone. 

[Captain24]

You are not a bother at all @Bow. I’m here for you

You're not bothering anyone @Bow ,

We're here for a chat. 

I'm not going to tell you that you SHOULD be feeling a certain way because of your trip, but I want to assure you that all feelings are valid and part of life. Having certain feelings doesn't mean you will be negatively judged.

I used to think there were 'good' and 'bad' feelings. But my psychologist helped me to realised there's no such things as 'good' and 'bad' feelings. Rather, they are just feelings that come and go.

What cuppa would you both like? @Captain24 @Bow , and anyone else here.

Definitely a hot chocolate @tyme before I’m told I’m not allowed them any more! 

[Bow]

Thanks @tyme @Captain24  im sorry. 

I’ll have a hot chocolate too thanks

[tyme]

No one can tell you that you can't have hot choc! It's about portion control and when you do have it, have it properly - exactly how you like it. That's what a dietician told me. Food and drinks are there to enjoyed - in moderation @Captain24 @Bow
