Thanks for understanding @rav3n. Im in a world of hurt right now.
My psych telling me she will make time for me if I need her was really overwhelming. It makes me realise that her concern is serious.

i hear that, and sounds like you've got a great psych if she's showing both concern and care for you by offering more support @Captain24 how do you feel about booking in another session with her soon? i think i recall reading that you were saving up leave for another time?

She is really amazing @rav3n. I have never had support like it.
I’ll see how I go. If I have another near miss. I guess I should maybe the near miss won’t be a near miss next time. Maybe I just should.
Im going to hospital in August so that’s why I need to save my leave.

i'm so glad to hear that!! @Captain24
ohh yep i see, it's tricky with the leave hey! i think you made a good point about the near miss not being so near if you do go.
also how's your resin stuff going?

But what if I don’t want the near miss to be a near miss @rav3n
When I went on holidays I bought a lot of resin stuff. Stuff to make placemats and matching coasters. A box to resin the top of and seal the rest but I haven’t done anything.
I don’t have any joy in anything as much as I try. I have to push myself to just get out of bed. I didn’t even feed the dogs breakfast this morning.
Sorry. This is all negative and I know that I shouldn’t be negative on here. I don’t want to get into trouble for saying too much.

I’m really sorry, I know you have no idea, but something you just said is really triggering. @rav3n
My psych wants me to start knitting or crocheting to keep my hands busy while I have downtime at work so I don’t disassociate.
Im really sorry but I really need to step back.
Thanks for giving me space tonight though
