Do you have a low immune system? I feel like whenever we talk, you're sick. Not saying that in a way to be rude btw.
Do you take pre and probiotics or a multivitamin? They might help.
Fair enough. I do hope you rest up okay.
Mmm, tomorrow. Depends on what I do tonight. I'll let you know shortly. @creative_writer

Thanks @Blackbird11
How was your evening class at the RHH?
I worked for them before I left for Vic it was five years. Gosh, I would go back there. So much better than over here.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,
Your psych session sounded very promising! As soon as I heard his approach, I was quite impressed.
Honestly, I don't think it'll be easy, but it's worthwhile. I think it'll have more lasting impact than any medication at this point (btw, I'm not saying don't take meds).
Good on your for being open to the psych. I like how he is supporting you to notice, notice and notice. It is similar to things I have discussed with you, but those face to face sessions will be so much more effective. You can even practice strategies with him such as the deep/mindful breathing.
As for your exam, well done. It's been so hard for you recently, and you still manage. That's a huge effort.
As for Taylor Swift....um...not really. It's not really my cup of tea. I'm not so much into music etc. as I find I'm quite sensitive to sound. I don't find 'music' or TV soothing at all. I find I get more distressed. So it's not that Taylor Swift isn't good... it's just not for me 🙂
Did you have a job interview? If so, I hope it went well.
You are on a good path @Birdofparadise8 - stick to it though it may be hard.

Thank you @tyme
I think he will be good. I've booked to Feb, hahaha. I wanted a particular time, and he only sees clients three days a week, and I'm busy the other two. So I need to get the right time.
What, oh, okay. Gosh, I love listening to music its so fun. I am listening to her new 1989 album. I have been since it came out. So so good. I can't wait for the tour in Feb. You wouldn't believe it. I was going to see a new artist, David Kushner, and he cancelled the show the other day.
The interview is on Wednesday. I'm so nervous.
Why do you get more distressed with sound?

Well done! That's like me. I used to book 6-8 sessions in advance. It's easier to cancel than to book. Your time has come to find a suitable therapist. I'm so pleased for you. I know how long I had to wait.
As for sound and music, I can't explain what happens inside of me. It's like I bubble up, bubble up, bubble up and then explode. I don't know how to explain the feeling. Hence I don't even watch TV with the sound up. @Birdofparadise8 - we are all different. And that's okay 🙂 People learn to function in the ways that work for them.
All the best with your interview on Wed!
