Re: Not Coping

My psych said he would speak to some colleagues to see what else he could do to help me. He had another look over a cognitive assignment I had a couple of years ago and how it never mentioned I would have a block with my emotions. 

I'll try to explain it as best I can. 

So we would talk about how I feel and bring it back to something and say it's about how I treat myself, and I know it's not nice, but then how does it make you feel in the moment, which I don't know. So he said maybe it's not the best approach as it's like I blocked from it. He said people would say they are angry or sad because it is where I can't name anything. I don't feel anything. I want to Google about it, but I'm not sure what all this would even be called. 

We also talked about my uncle and aunt and how I try to make an effort in their lives, but they don't do the same by asking me similar questions. 

We talked about last night and how hard it was. I was crying on and off from about 4 to 11 pm. 

He couldn't belive that my meds weren't at the right dose so no wonder why things have been so much harder. 

 

I think it's more than I can't express how I feel when I'm with my psych as there is nothing there when we talk about my painful experience.

Yeah, I do catastrophise @tyme 

I do it all the time. 

I have a job interview next Friday for a diabetes centre. They were very impressed with my resume and cover letter and that I'd worked in the same clinic before in Hobart. 

That would be my dream job as I have a real passion for diabetes, and it will fit really well into my studies for then a future job there as a dietitian.

Re: Not Coping

OOoo! Nice. I'm glad he is open to learning and ready to speak to others for support @Birdofparadise8 . I really like his approach.  And yes, phew he said he wants to see you weekly. Hope it works out.

 

Anyway, I'm off now. I'll see you tomorrow or over the weekend.

Re: Not Coping

Yes, thank god. I kept thinking there was something wrong with me because I could never answer his question about how it made me feel at the moment. 

I just don't get why I find it hard to feel when I'm with him compared to how I can feel many emotions at home. 

All good. Have a good night.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8 went into hospital for ECT today. In at least 2 weeks. Will probably end up being longer.

 

How is your day going?

Re: Not Coping

I'm happy to hear you're getting the help you need @Snowie 

Eh, I don't know up and down, but more down. 

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Blackbird11 

How are you? It's been a while since we have spoken. I hope study and work are going okay. 

I've been worried. 

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8 

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I'm doing ok and have been busy with studying and working. How have you been? Have you found work yet? Have you had time to be creative?
