Very stormy. @Jynx. I’m not reducing my meds this week. I can’t cope with it. I need a break from something. I need a break from work too but I only have a few weeks before I go to hospital so it’ll have to wait until then.
Thats how I sun-bake too! I have a spot in my backyard where no one can see. But I ain’t going out there in this weather!
Yup.. Razz and I are in this together..
mmuuhhhaaa
I know. Why can’t I just turn it off? It’s supposed to rain Monday and Tuesday. It’ll mean the mornings are warmer but the days will be so much colder. Can’t win. It’ll be rainy and gloomy and that makes my mood even worse.
This is the email my psych sent me
I've booked you in for 2pm on Tuesday. I know you don't like calling in sick to work so I just want to acknowledge that choosing to do that is you showing up for yourself. That's not nothing and it's not weakness. It feels like weakness because you are depleted when you are making that choice. But being depleted is different to being weak. You are more important than your workplace, but putting yourself first feels uncomfortable because you've been told you're not allowed to come first.
This is you doing the work - you are allowing the discomfort of unfamiliarity and (unreasonable) judgement and practicing taking your place as the most important part of the equation (which you have always been).
Just in case you've forgotten - check your notes for what we've discussed in case there's anything helpful in there in the meantime. And read this email as many times as you need.
