Hi I think it’s the unpredictability of their comms that drives me mad. They say they’ll ring then they don’t and I don’t think they appreciate the impact of that. I still feel really bad that the complaint was escalated to my DBT therapist as I’m still convinced she will see me as a failure. I’ve d...

Hi MinnieMoo Thanks for replying. Children are a huge responsibility aren't they? She is such a good girl but I always feel like I'm not good enough for her. I will try visiting a church and just see how it goes. I do want to feel some connection but I don't know if that's out of desperation or a ge...

Hi Em, I’m going to give them until the end of this week and if I don’t hear from them then I’ll go back to the complaints team. I don’t expect them to see me immediately but I do expect a phone call confirming I’ve been allocated to someone and that I have an appointment on X date. I take a multi-v...

Hi Please let me know how the hypnosis and EMDR goes. I don't so much notice a pattern but I think I know more about my triggers which are: Hormones - I have no regular cycle due to the peri-menopause so its like having 24/7 PMS Food - I've been eating a lot if sugar which I know is awful for mental...

Hi Glad you got through it - I was worried about you. Well done on the job front - you're being practical, like you said, you need the money and its a change. It gives you a bit of breathing space to look for something else if you want to. I was anxious about it being perfect for her, not that she i...

Hi Em

Are you OK?

Hope your first day went well

Hi Glad you went to the pharmacist - are you any better? What the lowest dose of sertraline you can start on? Might just be your body adjusting - any better now? The weekend was OK - niece was great, she is so well behaved, took her to the cinema and then did some baking and crafty stuff. I love hav...

Hi Its really good that you can see that you can move on and you can achieve what you want, just on a different level. I think its easy at times to think we can do x, y and z which we can do but maybe not all at once and they may look at bit different when we get there. Sertraline sounds like a plan...

Hi Em I'm sorry that you're feeling so depressed. You've had such a lot going on and its all bound to make you feel vulnerable and sad. I do think you need to reconsider the meds situation. I know what you mean about them making you feel so flat but it sounds like you're going too far the other way....

Hi Em Please DO NOT beat yourself up about not going – the time just isn’t right for you. That doesn’t mean to say that it never will be, its just not now. What did they say when you said you weren’t going? How much do they know about you? Is the second one any nearer? Could someone take you and wai...
