Hello New Beginning
I'm sorry you missed your appointment with the psychologist. After you have worked hard to go there and then find it's the wrong date is such a let down. Please hang on. I can understand how distressing this is and how you feel completely lost. I felt like this when I missed an appointment because I thought it was later in the day and went to sleep. It was really horrible and even though it was my own fault I did feel cheated. When is your next appointment? I hope you have been put on a cancellation list.
In the meantime how do you feel about doing some work on your own? Quite often we get quite emotional when we are telling our stories, I know I do. When we feel overwhelmed by our sadness or anger or whatever, it's really hard to speak at all, let alone tell your story. How would it be if you started to write everything down? You can write it anyway that feels best to you. Talk about your feelings and what makes you unhappy and happy. Write about the time with your partner and how you grew to care for his daughter. Talk about your present struggles and your determination to become well again. It won't be wasted time as you can give it the psych. Ask him/her to make a copy if you want to keep your writing.
Try writing a little each day as spending hours at a time can be exhausting. Keep writing in here and chat about whatever comes to mind. Tell us about the things you like to do, places you like to be.
Mary
