I really hope that they can work something out for you @Bow in regards to your psych. I know that might mean starting with a new psych, but that would be better than having no one. In an ideal world they replace her.
I think she is anxious and a bit nervous. It's the same place she did respite so hopefully it's not too daunting for her.

Well done to D @Bow Thats a big step for them.
Hehe I would label the dog too if I could. I love my label maker!

Hoping tomorrow goes smoothly.

Hey @Snowie hon, how did the big move go???
I went to arts and crafts today. I did a little dot Mandala and then I worked on some cards. My SW was there when I arrived and pulled me aside for a quick chat before she headed out on supports. She was heaps proud of me for getting there today considering how I’m feeling at the moment. And she gave the SW facilitating group the heads up too incase things get a bit too hard and stuff. I took my headphones too.
just finished moving some furniture upstairs, had my brother come over and help.
I need to go downstairs now and package up an order

Hi @Bow
Move went ok, just really tired now.
Super proud of you too hon for going today. That must have taken a lot for you to get there. Glad you could see your SW before the class. Headphones would have been a good idea. Can tune out if needed.

I’m sure you are tired @Snowie any kind of moving is exhausting! You can relax a little bit now? Knowing your mum is safe and looked after?… not that she wasn’t safe and looked after with you, but it’s on someone else now.
Yeah it was a lot of effort to get there today. I didn’t really wanna be there, but I can’t keep isolating myself.
psych tomorrow and I am sure she is gonna lecture me about not attending last week. I absolutely don’t understand why she makes it such a huge bloody issue every time. I’m sure there are others that miss appointments, for goodness sake we are people who struggle with our mental health and it’s such a huge effort to go anywhere sometimes. Yeah I understand we need to be there to do the work. Sigh I just don’t need her lecture. I’ve heard it before. Think I’m gonna write stuff down. Tell her exactly why I didn’t go.

Hoping this is for the best @Bow I guess only time will tell.
Still trying to sort through paperwork.
Writing things down might be helpful. Even if you don't give it to her, at least it is something you can keep going back to. Often I will write things down for my psych. That way I know what I need to say or what to talk about. Even when I can't say it, I can at least give it to her.
You have every right to tell her why you didn't go. Yes therapy is good for us, but sometimes taking time out for ourselves can be even better. You need to go with what feels right at the time.
