Aww thank you @Blackbird11
It's just so hard, but I could be worrying more than I need to. I might go home and end up being okay.
I'll just take it day by day. I'm also speaking to my regular at KHL tonight so I will go through this with her.
What have you been up to?

Good you have KHL to talk to and go through things. I worry about my condition too, I am learning the point of power is this moment right now. "Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere." - Glenn Turner
I caught up with a friend yesterday and did some errands this morning. I also went for a short bush walk this afternoon. @Birdofparadise8

Yes and I see my new psych tomorrow as well. That will be hard.
That sounds nice @Blackbird11
Are you staying around here this afternoon?

Seeing a new Psych is always hard... having to re tell your story and go through the motions again! Unsure if you will click and will they really hear you?
Two treasures on my bushwalk 😃
Yes I will be about this afternoon 😊

He isn't new new @Blackbird11 sorry.
I've had a couple of sessions with him. I'm still getting used to him.

It's the worst isn't @Blackbird11 . I have put off new psyche appts for that very reason. JUST too much. But of course it's necessary. Something you just gotta do.
Hi @Birdofparadise8 . Sorry to hear how you're feeling. But I read a post where you listed your uni subjects for next year and that's exciting. Plus the other things you have planned. x

Hi @hanami
Yes, it is exciting. I am looking forward to that, but it can still be hard when I'm so sad that the hope that things will get better will fade away. I feel like fading away some time, but people won't like it if I do.
How are you?

Still hard though @Birdofparadise8
Make sure you advocate for your needs, you matter!

Mmm yeah, I'm trying to do that with him @Blackbird11
I just want to be happy.
