Coping ok @TAB Had pdoc appointment today so that helped a little. Got some things out of my head so I am hoping that helps too.

Hoping you feel a little better and things work out for you.

hey @Judi9877
He said he wants to see me in 6 months unless of course i need to see him before then by all means
it's a sign i am going well. He asked me what I thought and how I thought I was going and also what the psych thought too.
I said I have improved a lot. Anxiety generally but also social anxiety. Exposure was just the thing I needed, but also a realisation of what good healthy social situations are and what bad, unhealthy ones are. Being able to distinguish those two things are essential I think.

As I was saying above to Snowie and TAB, my main concern right now is next monday and tuesday and how i respond to it and how i go with it. I need to place it in its appropriate place on the heirarchy of importance.

Easier said than done I guess hey

[Snowie]

Hi @MDT 

Sounds like you have some good things in place at the moment.

I hope seeing the psych tomorrow helps too.

Just remember we will be around if you need some support leading up to Monday.

[MDT]

Definitely will be in before Monday @Snowie

Thanks for your continued support also my friend. It means a lot

[Snowie]

@MDT 

Good that you will be in before Monday. 

Sometimes the lead up is even harder than the main days.

I think we support each other on here. There always seems to be someone around when we need support.

[MDT]

Agreed @Snowie
I am beginning to feel pressure from a lot things atm.
Uni. Work. Internship.

I didn't get a writers role which I am bummed out about.

Idk. Just at my friends now.

Want to go home soon to shower and bed.

Just dreading Monday atm 😐

@Snowie @oceangirl @TAB @wellwellwellnez @Meowmy @frog @Owlunar @Schitzo @Judi9877 @Mazarita and others following

I woke up feeling very anxious about next Monday. I have decided to go to the gym this morning to clear my head before my psych appointment today. I can get a coffee afterwards as well that way.

I got some news last night that an application for a editor role for a new international journal was unsuccessful. I was bummed out by that to be honest. Not great but what can i do.
I have another chat with internship people tonight I believe and I am concerned they will tell me the work I've done so far isn't good enough. Guess I have to wait

Anyway I wil be on a bit later today

[TAB]

Perhaps editor is aiming a bit high? @MDT  umm isnt internship peoples' job to mentor you ?? Bit early to be worrying about Monday ? need to adjust thinking think maybe Hams  Just sayin' ..take it easy on yourself

[MDT]

Hopefully can talk it out with psych @TAB
