my appoinment brought up a few things... might be being reffered back to dbt and seeing him again weds but then he is off for 10 days :( im freaking out
Angel- how was LGBT group? Are you feeling any better?
Jo- how you feeling hun?
Cryptic- thanks for the jar of happiness :). How are you doing? *hugs*
Colour- *hugs* how are youuu?
Mark- Thats great news :).
Marble- sorry your feeling flat. Did you manage to do anything today in the end?
Wendy- why can't you go for a walk? It might help you release some of the restless feeling and some agitation. Or have a nice warm bubbley bath with some relaxing music to soothe you? Anything bothering you? Here if you want to talk.
Cheryl- would you want to do DBT again? Do you think you would benefit from reinforcing the skills you have learnt? Is he putting some support in place in case something happens while he's away?

im seeing him again weds so we will see then he will have an answer from the dbt lot to see if i wud benefit me doing it again.. first time round i was trying to combine uni and dbt which was a big commitment.. i dunno im sort of running out of ideas at the mo so im open to suggestions... i dont know how im going to get through the next couple of days being on my own at home.
tinkles - cant go out on my own as bad things seem to always happen at moment and im not safe. went out with hubby and the dog when he got home from work.
how is it even possible to be totally exhausted through lack of sleep, yet still have this ball of nervous energy and agitation inside you? i dont like it, i feel like i need to be out the house, not contained.

Cheryl- it might help doing it again as you can focus purely on recovery now that uni is finished. Could you invite some friends to come stay round your house for a couple of days while your parents are away so your not alone so you don't end up harming yourself?
Jo- sorry your feeling like that. Not really sure what would help but *hug*. I don't know but people say when yor not with it or having flashback to try grounding techniques? I tried it the other day when I was having a flashback and it sort of helped bringing me back kinda thing? Maybe you could try them?
Wendy- could you watch some tv or cook some nice dinner together with your husband to try and keep distracted? Or even read a nice book opposite to the way you're feeling?
I know what you mean I sometimes feel like that and it's really annoying coz your really knackered but still want to do things but when you do them your too tired.

Tig - I think my dad would. He and my mother have always loved scoring points off of one another... I'm sure my dad would be thrilled about letting her know that he knew about my pregnancy first. And yeah, I think my self-esteem probably does have an effect. I'm not just sure how much.
I'm not sure. I've been seeing an NHS psychologist for months and it hasn't helped, according to her, she's trained to deal with mental health problems that have a specific cause and she doesn't know how to help me. So I've been waiting on being taken on by a CMHT which has taken forever because they haven't been able to decide whether I should be treated by a normal CMHT or a peri-natal one. Something about how I have a history of mental health problems pre-pregnancy. Anyway, I'm getting reviewed by the peri-natal CMHT's psychiatrist this week, and I should hear whether I'll be assigned by a CPN soon after that. That's all I know. xx
I haven't checked in for about a week and it looks a bit gloomy. Lots of love Meg. I've been having a bad time but letting someone care for me that I'm very lucky to have. L is basically being my Mum. Now off to Scotland to stay with a mate for two weeks. Got really anxious/pining for HRH really badly as first time at home for ages, but gave myself all day and got myself packed and on the train.
News on my initial assessment - 16 week wait for CAT
That's good to know Colour..being in London probably helps. I'm trying to only think a few hours ahead at the moment and finding it really helpful. I'm on a tiny Scottish island for two weeks as of tomorrow which will be perfect for that. How are you getting on?
