Phew! I can breathe now!
You know the Occupational Health nurse wanted me to see a psychiatrist and get my medication reviewed and be put on mood stabilisers?
You know I was utterly terrified of this?
Well. Did I tell you that my GP is wonderful? I've sure I've told folks here that before. That she's warm, sensitive, understanding, grounding and reassuring?
I spoke with my GP this morning, asking her about the OH lady said. I also gave her the report to read.
After hearing me fully, she said that we'll review it in January after I've got through the holiday and also seen the PMS specialist. But that she doesn't think I need to get my medication reviewed, and that the OH nurse really has no business telling me I should change my medication or suggest what I should be on, that she's not a psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse, that she doesn't know me from only seeing me once, and that she - my doctor, knows me far better as I've been seeing her regularly over some time. [I think I've been seeing her every 2-3 weeks for nearly 3 years now...]
And, hear this... my GP said that I've been stable for some time now and am doing fine on my medication. :)
I feel.... well chuffed. It... gives me space to grow in my own way.
Sure there's challenges and issues. But I'm working on them. And I appreciate being trusted to do that, and being allowed to take responsibility to explore ways of re-channeling my intense feelings and bringing their power to my life energy rather than squashing it down and trapping and suppressing it. And not shutting me up with meds!!!!!!

My husband is my best friend.
In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
