Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Aww, how sweet. What did you give and receive? 

There is no bath here; I have to share showers eww @Blackbird11 

I'm not sure that would help anyway. I'm doing some Lego to get my mind off things, but it's not working 100%. I don't understand why things have shifted so far backwards.

I give them a calander made from my own photos,  a ticket to see Urzila Carlson next year and tassie tiger pin.

I got a lunar calander a necklace that holds gems so you can wear them and jasper gem.

Lego sounds good. Have you heard about the window of tolerance @Birdofparadise8 ?

[Birdofparadise8]

This window of tolerance. Ahh, yes, many times @Blackbird11 

[Blackbird11]

It's interesting @Birdofparadise8

I guess it depends on if someone is talking to you about it in a condescending way then it's not so fun. I'm not sure about it. I think I've been swayed to the negative end from how people tried to say this is what you are like, Laura, and I'm like, no, and they don't listen. Ehh acute care team hobart for the win @Kyle1 would agree with me there. 

Sorry @Blackbird11 maybe if I learnt a bit more about it from a different perspective.

By the way, I'm not distressed right now, @Blackbird11. 

I'm just sad and very lonely. 

[Blackbird11]

Sorry you've had negative experiences with it. We all work in different ways @Birdofparadise8

It was like these two people ever me in a power imbalance trying to shove it down my throat, saying you're in THIS area, you FEEL these THINGS, you need to get here, but you CAN'T. It was the most annoying, frustrating and dismissive moment. 

I hope if you've ever used the Hobart acute care team, you got a good worker. I was always given the dud and then they would dismiss me and throw me around like I'm a potato @Blackbird11 

I got my EMR record from them; they lied so much about me. It was more of a nightmare working my way around them than anything. However, it hasn't been very good in the public system here either. St. V's throw me around like a potato, too. They would never listen, throw out observed diagnoses that I proved were not right, and still say I have it. 

Anyway, may I will ask my psych about it next week.

Sorry, that was a train track diversion. One question for you. Do you know what the difference is when I'm crying on my own compared to, say, with my psych? Which I haven't gosh, it will take me a long time to get there. Anyway, do you know why people say it's good or something with therapy? But, like what's the difference? Sorry, this is long.

Does this help @Birdofparadise8?

[Birdofparadise8]

It says 

What is the difference between crying after therapy and crying on your own without therapy?

I mean, crying in therapy with your psych and being vulnerable compared to just simply crying in my room like I do @Blackbird11
