Feel bad for my 17 year old niece, her dad/my brother in-law died suddenly of a heart attack last week. He was only in his early 50's. So my sister is working on getting his remains back to the US so he can be buried. He was on a trip in Cambodia when he died.
Anyway, as for myself I'm doing okay. Haven't been back to volunteer since the last time I went when I had a panic attack during the shift. I talked to my therapist about it, she said I did a good job since I didn't bolt out the door when I started having the panic attack and stayed through the shift and got through it.
I signed up for a few days in the upcoming weeks. My next volunteer day is next Thursday. Wednesday is my final appointment with my psychiatrist of 6 years, she's leaving to work at the hospital. So I'm sad about that, she's been the best psych I've ever had. It's going to be really difficult to get used to someone new and be able to open up to someone new.
I have an issue where I impulse shop either when I'm not feeling great (depressed, anxious, etc) to make myself feel better and also when I'm feeling really good (hypomanic to manic)
I'm trying to reign that in, and it's not easy, not easy at all.
