Seeing new psych tomorrow

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrowT

Tonight I am feeling very exhausted mentally and physically.  After seeing this new psych this morning which was emotional for me I had to see my GP for an iron infusion.  I am very anemic and had to have this done.  It took an hour.

Then I drove to my DBT therapist.  Well that was even worse than this morning.  I told her I didn't want to go home; i want and need a break in hospital but that won't happen because of MIL in hospital. I told her that hubby is off for the week and i am back at work tomorrow,.  she said to me why dont i take this week off as i am very exhuasted and emotional and i need to look after my own mental health.

I don't know what to do; i promised the girls at work that i will be back tomorrow. if i don't turn up i will have dissapoint them.

I am just so upset, even my therapist said to me tonight that every time something happens which at the moment thre are lots of things happening it is too overwhelming for me and i can't cope.

my problem is that i hide a lot of my feelings and emotoins from my husband and kids. they have no idea.

i didn't want to come home tonight, telling my therapist that i wanted to run away and see no one. she said this is me screaming for time alone. 

i really wish i was away somewhere far far away. i can't cope with all of this.

i wonder if i can call this new psych tomorrow and tell him i need a break.  i didn't get a chance to talk to him about how i am feeling right now or that i need a break away from home.

my therapist who i saw tonight said she will ring this new psych and talk to him.

 

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

@BlueBay, i had my first appointment with a new psychologist today and i had wrote everything down and stored it in my phone and just handed it to her so she could read it for herself rather then trying to understand me while i was balling my eyes out. It also hepled me start to feel abit more comfortable with her. I hope everything go's well for you tomorrow.

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

Think I am going to call this new psych tomorrow and tell him I need his help.  I am not coping, too much going on and I need a break.  I have just been on lifeline and am so emotional; talking today about stuff has triggered a lot of different emotions.

Wish i could just run away and hide forever. I am too overwhelmed at the moment.

 

 

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

I'm glad you called Lifeline @BlueBay, it sounded like you needed someone now, not tomorrow.

 

I can't imagine what it's like to not want to go home. If I need to be alone going home is what I do. All I can do is offer you support and hope things improve very soon.

 

Please take care of yourself & keep safe. Don't be afraid to call lifeline again if you need.

Hi @BlueBay,

 

Sorry to hear you arent feeling very good today.  Good on you for taking some time out for yourself and heading to the beach for some alone time.  Having a heavy cloud over you is not a pleasent feeling at all.

 

How are things going down at the beach?

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

Alone at the beach. Feel guilty for taking time out. I just want to cry but can't. No tears. I'm just so bogged down by this cloud.
I've left a msg for my new psych to call me.
Too much stuff going on
Thanks for caring. No one else does. ☹

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

Hi there, I would recommend you read up on "Childhood developmental trauma disorder " it covers many symptoms including bpd and depression anxiety, it's a much better holistic diagnosis. It opened up the world to me, that and the ACE study.(which you can do online) Adverse Childhood Experiences
Best of luck you've got a fighting spirit!!

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

Thanks @Jaz3 for recommending the book.  I will look it up.  Can I ask? The study that you did - was it confronting, triggering??

Love to hear back from you 🙂

Re: Seeing new psych tomorrow

No, not triggering. its a great study, shows why your suffering mental illness which is great to get answers. Alot of medical journals are now publishing articles abd research that shows a very strong link with childhood trauma. They don't tally the positives bit here an article on it
