Hi everyone,

I hope you all are having a good day!

This morning I went to the Swan Valley with my support worker. We went to The Honey House and she bought me a cuppa. While we were there we discussed my need to get around to ringing up about seeing a psychologist. I got funding for that with the NDIS but I have been putting off calling. Then we went to Whistler’s Chocolate Factory. I gave my sample to my worker because I am doing Lite n’ Easy and am being good. After that we went to the cinemas at Midland and saw the John Farmham thing. It’s not really a movie, more a documentary. I hadn’t realised that John Farnham had faced so many setbacks as I knew him only as a hugely successful artist. 

When I got home I did actually make the call about the psychologist and OT and the receptionist has sent me a referral form to fill in. This was huge for me as I have a phone phobia. I didn’t really know what to say on the phone. I had a list of providers but the other support worker that I was with said that this mob were really good. She has other clients that see them. So I will try them out and hope that it works out.

Anyway I have had a lovely day even though the sky is grey and dreary. The weather is going to be wet again tomorrow but from Thursday onwards the sun is coming out again.

Hey, i wasnt trying to shut that person down. They were on my thread, which is called trying makes it worse, and i couldnt engage them so i just spoke to that. Sometimes interactions like that can be hard because no one really supports me through it and i end up negatively impacted.

@Owlunar i was not trying to be unkind

Hi @EternalFlower 

I saw your interaction with that other person and I also saw what he left on your thread. I think he was confused by @tonys in the first place. You did nothing wrong and don’t need to worry about it. As you rightly said it’s hard in text because you can’t read the tone.

Hey @EternalFlower 

You were doing the right thing trying to support that person - and I admire you for that. Thanks - it made me respond too - they need to be more informative so we can assist - well done.

And it's not easy - I hope you are okay - what you said was brave - 

I was trying to support you too - I'm sorry you have felt unsupported - and negatively impacted - it can be hard work on the forum but to me - worthwhile

All the best @EternalFlower

Thanks @Owlunar i triggered sometimes i admit as u dont know the tone but i guess i can try my best and step back if i feel its impacting me.

Thanks lovely appreciate that @Shaz51 

@Owlunar have u been around the forums a while? I tend to stick to a few spaces but am trying to explore. @Oaktree tagged me here which is a nice discussion.🤍

Great to hear you had a decent day @Oaktree and managed the phone call and moved with the referrals.  I did my usual.  Garden and music.  Food was leftovers.  Did things with my son and went out at night.  This week is weirdly social for me. 3 invites will post more on my other thread.

Hi @EternalFlower 

I have been around the forum for years - since after my mother died and I found a can of worms (memories) I couldn't look at before she died - and then had to deal with it. Yes - I saw a psychologist.

Reaching out can be tough - if you are shy - I think you did a great job with that other person btw - that was a toughie yet you persisted - well done.

I was bereaved just over a year ago and took months off - my uncle was not much older than me and my friend all my life - my best friend - so the loss was considerable. I have just had two weeks in a private general hospital too and have other problems so I am just getting back into it - if you like I will tag you into my thread where we are already friends and the conversation is honest and caring - okay - I will tag you in and you can make the choice yourself.

I am glad to have found you - the website is pretty big and impossible to keep up with everyone - I pick and choose any new people - there are a lot of things I can't deal with

All the best

Owlunar - oh yes - I am Mumma Bear over there

Goodnight
