That sounds really good @Sans911 3 and abit weeks isn't to far away but im sure youll do well. has your textbook come yet?
Oh my goodness 2 months is a long time! I wonder what happened to them oaying it for you. Strange that they didn't do what they had arranged..

Im only into the second exposure therapy session so i suppose there wouldnt be to much benefit as yet. We are going slowly which is ok but i tend to get bored or frustrated going to slow that it feels like ill never get there but at the same time iknow if i push to fast ill probably go backwards.
I have been very meh and shut down about things lately even more so than usual in regards to therapy and medications and most other things. My gp wants to put me back onto my meds as even shes noticed it. Im out of sorts but a different out of sorts. Mm not to sure that makes sense....



I feel I need to do something intellectually stimulating. Right now im doing alot but at the same time its not either. Its just the same stuff over and over even with pops new appointments coming up for dementia. I just need something to keep my brain active or something....

Aww cuties, Mr A still struggling to adjust to the noise levels?

[outlander]

I also haven't really stuck with therapy or found it benedicial yet but that is mostly because of ill fitting therapists so maybe the meh feeling for therapy is part of a subconscious thing...

My textbook should be arriving tommorow sometime.

I understand what you mean about intellectual stimulation. I know you like to challenge yourself with learning new skills and knowledge. So for now it's the routine mundane responsibilities of life, which aren't terribly exciting. Those opportunities will come again, as you are already looking into another course.

Therapy takes some time to feel like there is anything different or a gain has been made. And I think an important part of that gain is the connection with the therapist. Sometimes that connection is instant, other times it takes time to build trust, rapport and be comfortable to be vulnerable.

Yes, Mr A is struggling a lot with noise sensitivity, but I'm letting him take his time with gentle encouragement.

I'm starting to struggle lil Sis @outlander, so I'm going to have to go. It's been a nice chat with you tonight, hence I've tried to stay a little longer. I can't wait until daylight saving ends.

Goodnight my sweet sister ❤️ 💜 ❤️ 💜 ❤️ 💜 ❤️ 💜

I hope you get to bed soon
