I'm so pleased to hear from you @Blackbird11
Things have been up and down, but mostly down. I'm unsure if you've been keeping up with what's happening. I've had my meds increased, and my psych is going to talk to some colleagues about what to do, as we are a bit stuck. I can explain it to you if you want to know. Or you can have a read through the posts. I was talking to @Jynx @tyme about it.

hey @Birdofparadise8
Doing better than yesterday. Still not liking myself.
I got an email from a recruitment agency asking if I was interested in a position they have advertised. I am waiting to hear back from them. The job is in the same suburb as me so I hope they consider me.
I hope you are doing better than me 🙁

I had to go take my trial medication back to the hospital, so I had a chat with the researcher for a bit.
Then I went to a shop to get a slice of carrot cake, and it was very yummy.
I'm just at home trying to order some stockings for TS next week. @Snowie
Oh I'm sorry @creative_writer I hope things improve for you.

Hi @ENKELI
That's great. I hope you get the job.
I have another interview on Friday for a diabetes center so I'm really looking forward to that.

Sounds challenging @Birdofparadise8 are you able to bring me up to date? How are you going with med increase? Do you have some hope that your Psych can help?

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, that's true
Yes, well, it's like Tuesday was awful, and I could tell him all about that and a few things that triggered me, but if we were to talk about how it made me feel telling him that I would feel nothing and for months he has been doing that to me and challenging me, but I just don't think there is anything there. I hope I'm not broken.
He said he was going to talk with some colleagues to see what else we could do. I hope he won't want to pass me onto someone else I still find it hard talking to him.
I won't cope with that. Yesterday, when we were talking about how often to have a session, I thought he was going to say something bad and want to have less, but then he said he thinks weekly, and I was all for that.
OMG, SANE just emailed me and said they go on postcode. I was told I didn't need to worry about that. The two people who I spoke to said it was okay since I was from Hobart. Now I'm crying. Why can't things be simple?
Here is what I've posted on Wednesday and Thursday @Blackbird11
It's okay. I just take a tablet in the morning. It's only been two days. I will have a blood test next week, so that's good. I don't see the Pdoc until March.
I don't know. I hope so. I don't want to start again.
