Roll Call 61

i just did..

This post has made me want to get up and go downstairs to snuggle with my husky Logan! Share da luv! :P

All right , hope it all works out

dooooo it!!!!!!!!!

My mum's dog is sick. They took him to the emergency vet at the PDSA last night (it's a bank holiday weekend here). The vet said he probably has an infection and gave us antibiotics, as she said she didn't know what the lesions on his skin were, but I'm pretty sure they're hemangiomas (benign blood vessel tumours) from when I studied medicine. They look just like they do in humans, and would explain why he keeps bleeding (i.e. a normal cut would've healed ages ago). Dogs can get those too.

I think they need a second opinion at my vets, but they don't have dog insurance and it would be expensive to have the blood tests, skin biopsy and x-ray (he has a swelling on his shoulder and has been limping for 3 weeks) that I think he needs.

I hope it's not hemangiomas. Though they're benign, they can also occur internally and surgeries are expensive. Plus they can cause anaemia and clotting problems, which is why I think he needs blood tests because of the amount he's bled over the last few weeks. And there is the (small) potential that they could become malignant.

I'm obviously not a vet, so I hope that I'm wrong because we'd, my mum especially, would be devastated if anything happened to him. He's only 6yo!

I'm trying to stay positive.

I found out I don't have diabetes which is great. I just have really bad high cholesterol

i tried to wait til 9 to take my night meds but i am so tired i had to take them now. i see T tomorrow morning. im always thinking my T is dead i think its a paranoia thing. sometimes i can brush it off and be like nahhhhhhhhh hes not dead. but sometimes i get really caught up in it. i do the same with my mom. and i have done it before with one of my friends. i think im so afraid of people dying that i am paranoid about it. but its always like.... what if this time... they are dead??? ummm anyway...

zzz

morning

this haldol is making me sleep later and later i think. i slept til 10:30am this morning.

i need my coffee.

saw T... it went well... he lent me this book... Cognitive therapy of schizophrenia by kingdon and turkington. he wanted me to read chapter 9... about intervening with delusions. ive read some of it so far. it is interesting. we played cards and talked abt how to manage feeling overwhelmed.

I couldn't help but want turkington to be turducken..... Let us know if the book is good.

lol.... the book is more geared towards therapists to read. but it is very interesting... i am working on changing my magical thinking beliefs about how i control reality with my thoughts. when i read more i will let you guys know what i think!

I have been at the library researching. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel finally. This chapter wont be as dry as I once thought. I just need time to processes it. Now I need is just precise quotes, mix them with examples I've used previously so students can recall the message once again. I still don't know if this one book should be separated into three or two sections...If I do make it into two sections then it will be awfully long compared to the second part.

I think two sections will be enough though. There is a lot I can work with to play with the other one. I think the second section people can relate more to, friendship and what that culminates into. I'm so happy how this is all coming together! I have all this time now too since I'm taking off a lot of work. I've got This new material really put all I've learned into perspective. I'll make an outline then soon, dividing the two parts and adding all types of literature for examples for this dry book to flesh the problems out in an easy way to see.

Good stuff. I hope all is well everyone!

anyone here how costellos son is doing?

how do you quote a users name so that they get a notification. anyone know?

You can't do that on these forums------you can always write her a PM...

I hate my IOP group, I feel like such a freak here,
No one understands me, I'm such a freak of nature that people avoid me all the time and I don't fit in anywhere I go
I just want to belong somewhere for once, I want to relate to people, I want someone to be there for me and understand what I'm saying and listen when I talk without looking at me like I'm some sort of freak

Is that too much?

You belong here I think everything you've said is good it's something we can all relate to and want.

You belong here. I read all your posts and you always make sense to me.
