I’ve just had a massive day. I left home at 6:30 this morning and drove down to see my friends in hospital. I got home at 9. It was good to see them. While I was in there I saw a facilitator that remembered me by name, 3 nurses and the cleaner. It was so nice that they all remembered me.
Then I went for a walk along the beach, it was hot and windy but it was nice to walk in the water.
Then I saw my psych and it was a really good appointment. We had a lot of laughs and she found out a lot more of my childhood. She wants to do exposure therapy at my next appointment on having the confidence to call up at work so I can go to the bathroom instead of trying to hold it. Apparently it stems from not being allowed out of bed to go when I was a kid. If we got out we got punished.
Now I’m feeling drained.

It’s a nice beach @Jynx
She is really working out. She wants me to try and see my GP earlier as she wants me to get into a Pdoc and start getting the ADHD thing assessed and meds checked. I shouldn’t end up in crisis with the meds I’m on.
As for how I’m feeling.. I’m not allowed to be negative on here.
