Couch 67 - Keep calm, carry on, and have a cup of tea.

Hi rts I couldnt resist this thread once i saw 'and have a cup of tea' in the title

Its quirky... sometimes lots of people are on and sometimes no one is home... or there are just a few lurkers... right now I'm at work so I'm like sneaking in...

Thanks, RTS....I haven't gotten that far yet but I will certainly be looking for a new neurologist. I'm scared, though, because the help that I've been given by this dr has been life-saving for me. I honestly don't believe I'd be alive today. I was hoping that I would have my appt next week and be good for another 3 months - giving me time to do the research and secure a new neurologist.

When I talked to the office staff, I asked them if his patients were upset about this change. She said that everyone has been handling it quite well and that only about 5% of his patients switched doctors...and 4 of those patients came back. I've chatted with people in his waiting room that travel hours to see him. I personally know several people that see him as well.

I just got off the phone with the specialty pharmacy. They are getting the ball rolling on getting the authorization and filling the script. I have to get these documents faxed to my insurance company and the specialty pharmacy which I will do as soon as I get my daughter off the bus.

Keep your fingers crossed that I can pull this together so that my appt. next week is covered.

crossing my fingers and my toes MUE.

Hi Healing Times....welcome!

I just spent a small fortune on a cosmetologist's "train" case for my daughter. She graduates on the 16th, her b'day is on the 21st, and then there is Xmas. She's expensive this month! I told her we'd celebrate her graduation AFTER she passes her state licensing exam in Jan. So why am I buying the case now? Because I have impulse control issues.

Hi wikid

Love your signature

I have almost finished my Christmas shopping. Just have to buy some gift vouchers for my mother and sisters.
I am such a bad mother, i forgot to buy my kids an advent calender each..and now i cant find any in the shops!

oh helz. Tell me she does NOT need a Juicy Couture bag. Tell me. Please.

step away from the online shopping....

She might not...but i do

Well, she doesn't need a Juicy Couture bag. But want is a whole different thing!

Well, pdoc was not fooled. She never is, the clever woman. I think the tears streaming down my face while I was telling her how well I'm doing just might have been a clue. So. Back on zoloft, but at a low dose. We'll see how it goes. Oh, and I'm supposed to take care of my own needs some of the time over the holidays. Right. How does that work?

Oh, MUE, I just got caught up - I'm so sorry about your neuro. What a blow. I find it hard to believe that so few of his patients are leaving. Who can afford to pay out of pocket when the costs are so high?

Never mind.

hello.. made through a whole day of work.. but- D and I skipped her dance class. Sitting at home and for H to get home, so I can go to bed.

Also, I walked into my office at school this afternoon for my break between aide in the morning and teaching in the afternoon. T was there, talking to the secretary, filling out paper work. Now, I walked in, let out a big sigh and was about to say something to the secretary when I looked over my shoulder and saw him.. I did a double take actually b/c I wasn't expecting him. So, I quietly sat down, busied myself and prayed he would leave soon. I have seen him a lot at school, I guess it felt a little different because of the appointment I had yesterday..

For Petit Jurors During The Week Of

Absoloutley! Definitely keep reaching out, thats why this forum exists
Nobody here is going to judge you for being 'negative'.

Start a new thread if you need to, i promise i'll reply if you do (if that will make it easier for you). Or continue to post on here, you will get plenty of support either way

Hey all! Just found this nice couch with an amazing tea supply! Mind if I join you and relax a bit? Need it after the afternoon I had!

I babysat for my friends, and my goddaughter was so fussy! I know she's only 15 months, teething and was missing her mommy... I really understood her and tried to soothe her for 15-20 minutes. But she kept screaming and crying. I started being distressed because there was nothing I could do to help her calm down, went into full BPD/ I'm worthless mode so for the first time ever I actually had to take her and put her back into her crib for her safety.
I know I'd rather harm myself than her, and I would never have hurt if I had any other way, but I started not trusting myself and wanted to make sure she was safe if I was to loose my cool.
Please don't understand it wrong... I love that kid to bits! But the overall situation was just too much... I tried to ground myself and relax for ten minutes, she was also a bit calmer by then so I got her again and the rest of the afternoon went fine.
I think I made the best decision but still feel guilty because I could not meet her needs and feel like I acted selfishly by getting "rid" of her when she needed someone....

I can't even believe I'm writing this, but I needed to vent. Sorry if I'm bothering you with this...

hi Jordy

you did exactly the RIGHT thing. By putting her back in her crib, you WERE taking care of her needs, by accepting that you needed time out. You made sure she was safe (by putting her in her crib) and knew your limit. Well done

Neutrino, yes, please, continue to reach out. And tell us what you need.

Thank you, HealingTimes & critterlady. I'm not sure what I need. Just need support I guess.

Neutrino - don't worry about it, at all. That is, try not to worry about it. It's absolutely fine for you to start new threads, and to reach out for support. You're not coming across as annoying.

If half the threads on the first page of the forum were started by you, you might be going overboard, a little. But you're not even close to posting too much, I promise.

Thanks for making me feel a bit better... I wish I could handle my BPD better in this kind of situations. At least there's some positive to it: I didn't wait until it was too late and lost controll. I also might have been able to handle her without putting her back in her crib, but there was no guarantee so I guess I didn't have many options.

Thanks, Mastodon. I don't understand why I keep worrying about it. I don't know why I feel so inferior all the time. I guess I fear that I'll be rejected if I try to express what I'm going through.

You're OK.

Your dog still loves you, right?

I am shattered, so am off to bed now. Goodnight all

Jordy, my son had colic and I had to do that same thing even with my own son that I would give my life up for... I've even had to call my sister some nights to come and help... being healthy is knowing your limits..
