Between therapy appointments

Thanks beadlady29 and Simcha,

Just to fill you in I am seen through the mental health system here, I was referred by my doctor five and a half years ago. This means I am looked after by a team, a mental health nurse who coordinates appointments and checks in each week to see how I'm going. But we are not really 'allowed' to discuss the trauma stuff etc.
I see a psychiatrist for medication but I don't get to choose which one, only two are avaliable anyway. They only run clinics one day each week or a 'tele-med' if they can't visit that particular week. I have started with a Clinical Psychologist this year. Again the only one avaliable, no choice. They both travel 3 and a half hours to run the clinics so they are obviously commited to helping people in my situation. Because it is a public system change often occurs and I must say in the past 5 years I have never been overly happy with my Psychiatrist until now ( I seen 5 psychiatrists in the first 12 months due to the personel changes - this freaked me out because they all had different dx). It takes me ages like many of you to build a trusting relationship and seeing a Psychiatrist spartatically doesn't cut it for me. Since I have had this new team this year I am happy but having some trouble as I have mentioned.
Living in an isolated small town does cause some problems.
My hobbies ????? are all of none these days. I will sometimes play sport but due to medication reactions I find it difficult to enjoy participating. I do make myself though. My work is about physical activity anyway so I guess it's not like I getting none.
Oh Beadlady29 I did phone my nurse today and told her how I was feeling. She knew I wasn't doing so well straight away as I don't normally phone her and I had a day off work. So pc is giving me confidence to express how I'm feeling. So thanks everyone.
