Good morning @greenpea @oceangirl @Shaz51 @Former-Member @TAB @MDT @Clawde @Peri @Meowmy @Snowie @SmilingGecko @maddison @Daisydreamer @tyme @hanami @Emelia8 @Scream58 @Ugly_Trout @frog @pinklollipop15 and all forumites here today. I hope you have a great day.

My craft parcel just arrived from Qld so I’m quite happy as it came early packed with lots of craft goodies that I ordered on Thursday night. It’ll give me motivation to do uni study so I can play with the goodies over the Easter break or that’s the hope at least! I’m really struggling with uni right now which isn’t great. I did email my psychologist last night so he’s now aware of the situation once he reads the email which is a positive sign for me at least because I’m communicating my concerns in a hope he can help me deal with things. I’m seeing him in just over a week so I’ll take things from there I guess. 

Take care and and stay safe!

Hi @Judi9877
Craft parcel sounds exciting! I love when new art supplies arrive 😄

It sounds like you have found a really great balance and communication style with your psychologist that ensures you can let him know your needs and experiences 🙂 Writing can make a difference can't it? Do you find this has been helpful for you?

[Judi9877]

Hi @Daisydreamer 

I do find writing to be a good therapeutic way of communicating for me as it gives me a chance to get everything out in the open and let it go and release me of stress and pressure that I may be feeling at the time. Sometimes, I think there are times where I don’t make sense at all but my psychologist seems to take this on board and let’s it go knowing that this is just me expressing myself which is good of him. This has been particularly true when I’ve had psychotic episodes or I’ve been feeling suicidal or depressed and he’s great at just reading and getting back to me either via email if necessary or at our next appointment. I find words to be comforting at times yet I also realise and accept that they can be dangerous if the meaning isn’t taken as intended as well. That’s the thing about communication I guess- you never know how things will be interpreted! 

For the rest of the day, I’ve got to take my housemate to the dentist and then shopping at Kmart for a few items for her that she wants to get. I’m planning on doing some knitting as well and maybe looking at my crochet blanket if I get the time or motivation to look at it.

Take care!

Morning 🙂

My course went well yesterday. Except I felt they all know me somehow and that I was talked about behind my back etc. The paranoia was rampant. I stayed all day though and passed the course. Just an EWP course but it needed to be renewed. I opened my mouth to answer questions to the class which kept me in check, was difficult though. I carry the thoughts with me and when people ask my name I feel like saying "why are you asking when you know it already?". I just concentrated on getting the ticket and thought about how best I can deflect my thoughts. 

I had to walk about 400m to get lunch. And was exhausted.. work boots too, but that shouldn't matter. I think sitting around and vaping and not exercising has to stop. I was shocked at my lack of fitness. 

I hope everyone and all has a great day!! I'm going to work on motivation to get on the treadmill.

well you got through it hey @Ugly_Trout  yes, sometimes other people on courses what makes it, other times, it just feels odd, like you've done something wrong as everyone acting oddly. Anyway prob irrelevant, but why did you have to do the course again ? it lasts forever if it's the high risk one, well if dont let it expire I guess
