.....After this frigid cold this week, I went to get into my truck & head to my psychologist who I was desperately needing to talk with to help me get through this difficult time right now......& my battery was dead & I had to wait for a few minutes until my neighbor could get away from his farm to help me jump start my truck......& then it took quite awhile to get it started because the -2F weather had done a real number on my battery & I had been too lazy to go out in the cold to start my truck through the bad weather......I felt totally down as she helps me to keep my focus & my perspective on the reality of my situation.

Maybe it was a good thing because I went to the mechanic right after that to have them check out the noise I was hearing & found out my breaks were so bad they could have gone out at any time so not having that 40 minute drive to see my psychologist could have actually saved me from a possible accident with my breaks going out.......

So even though there was a negative about not getting to see her, there was a positive in the whole situation also....& I have DBT next monday before I have the pain specialist appointment Wed morning & I have another appointment with my psychologist that afternoon...figured it was the perfect time for the appointment....I would be either elated by having found the care I need or so down I would definitely NEED to talk with her. She helps keep my DBT skills functioning with the necessary reminders & all our conversations.....love to have someone I can sit down & logically talk through issues with since I have no one at home & some things I just wouldn't want to burden friends with especially with friends who like to FIX everything.
