Couch 153: Couch slouch

I think that is rubbish. I know when i really ill with my bipolar my T ceases to work with me psychotherapeutically (his word) but still sees me, because its a chemical imbalance in my brain and my meds need adjusting. He still sees me to monitor other things that are unknown to me.
Your T will not abandon you because of this. It is rubbish

Hugs. Why is that? Are you getting sick?

Cool! How are you feeling about it?

That's... Not true. That makes no sense. Maybe they mean that you need to be more stable to work on certain things, but therapy is also designed to help people with those thoughts...

@daisy: How are you feeling today? I hope you feel better... Sorry your T let you leave like that again It's a not nice place to be in.

@Murderface: I hope you feel better soon

Weird double post.

I'm debating taking a mental health day off from work. Thoughts, couch?

Do you think it would help you? Then take the day! It's important to take care of yourself...

I decided to. Thanks, Demunie

Good for you!

If only giving advice was always so easy

I'm emailing with T... discussing my goals. He said he's not giving up on me. I'm trying to fix all of this and stop the games and distractions and really work thru this trauma BS and be FREE. I hope T will continue to join me and support me on this journey. I'm feeling hopeful right now

@So confused re:tissues

I'm not totally sure why I don't use them. Part of it feels awkward to me haha. Maybe another part is my silent way of saying F You I don't need ur shyt.

Another doctors appointment due to pain where I was told to just wait it out. Sure. With an 8/10 for over 6 weeks, that's not responding to strong pain meds... no problem to wait a few weeks longer.

I'm not even mad. Just exhausted

At least the pain isn't there all the time

I'm an emotional blob today and I don't know why. I'm so sensitive and on edge and there's no reason for it.

omg, my body hates me. i feel like ive been punched in the right kidney, repeatedly.

please kick in soon pain meds. i need to be able to deal w toddlers.

Hugs... I know that feeling. I hope the pain meds help

I'm mad...

Hei at least he supported my argument against T... That's good right...
I was so tempted to email T with a: "HAHA I TOLD YOU"

I agree with Luc. That's unacceptable to me. I know that the health systems are different than what I'm used to, but that level of pain for that long and...wait it out? I'm flabbergasted.

I just googled... We actually have the 3rd best health care system in the world, after Singapore and Luxemburg...

So yeah. I guess the problem isn't the system but me. I have to mention the meds I'm on, that leads to questions, that leads to telling them about SH and dissociation... And out of the door you go.

I get that. I have food allergies and ingested something at work that I was allergic to several years ago. Went into anaphylactic shock, went to the hospital in an ambulance. The doctors asked about my medical history and I disclosed my mental health diagnoses (the most recent at the time was Bipolar I). So immediately afterwards I heard the doctor discussing me with a nurse outside of my room, implying I was faking my symptoms for attention.

Please explain to me how I could possibly fake going into anaphylactic shock.

Wow, that's awful daisy. I hope they helped you anyway. That was far from ok from this doctor.

They did once I threatened to sue.

Do you want to come to my next doctor's appointment? I'll fly you in

We have mountains, and great chocolate! And cheese!

And disgusting fizzy milk drinks!

Well, your county is pretty high on my bucket list

It's called Rivella and it's not disgusting! Not my fault that your sense of taste got destroyed by lucozade!

But I don't even like lucozaaaade
