Hi wonderful Grandy and all,
Oh Grandy, I’m hearing your distress and feelings of betrayal and broken trust towards your psychologist. Wrestling with feelings of mistrust and guilt at the same time would be very exhausting...
On the one hand, as Mandy said, there aren’t really any other psychologists available because you live in such a remote area. But on the other hand, I wonder if seeing a psychologist that you don’t trust will be of much benefit to you...
I feel for you Grandy. It really is quite the dilemma...
Love and care,
Peppy xoxo

Dearest Grandy,
Oh how I wish life was not so hard! I know how difficult this appointment with the psychologist is going to be tomorrow.
Why dont you just be completely honest with her about how you feel? I expect it will be really difficult to talk to her on the day. But .... can I suggest you write everything down, pen and paper, and give it to her tomorrow? Include everything that you have already written here, all your thoughts - your hurt, your feelings of abandonment, your distrust of her. Tell her all. What do you have to lose? Nothing. After she reads (or hears if you can physically tell her) all your thoughts about seeing her again, she may well decide that seeing her is not a good thing for you. But at least you've tried. Depending upon her reaction however, you may even find that she explains more to you about her reluctance to see you again. It could be a good time for her to explain to you why she treated you the way she has. Keep in mind that you are paying her (no matter what form that payment takes place) for services to you. And as such .... she is accountable to you. Could you please try to talk to her about all this?
I would not be suggesting this if there were any other alternative psych for you Grandy. But I really think you need to give it one last shot. But to make it work, you need to have all this out with her. If you dont, I agree with Pepper that a lack of trust in your psych will work against you.
On another tangent - did you go to darts today?
With love and concern for you. 🤗
Amanda 💜

Hi lovely Grandy (and a wave to all),
Yesterday must have been very rough and distressing. I feel for your anxiety and fears...
I’m just sitting quietly by your side and holding your hand so you don’t have to be alone.
Many hugs...
Love and care,
Peppy xoxo

Hello Deebi, Amanda, Peppy and all.
Yesterday was not a good day at all.
I really struggled to go to work yesterday, with very little sleep lately with my mind in overdrive. I had an appointment with my gp late morning to get back my blood test results..My psych saw me sitting down, she approached me and said don't forget we have a 4pm appointment..She was all smiley, like I seen her just last week and not over 4 months ago...My gp called me in, I tried to stayed glued. I got my results back...not good at all..High cholesterol, high sugar, Then talked about glands, ear, and jaw which has been aching on & off and my bursitis as it's getting really bad and so painful in bed and on walking... Have to go to bigger town for X-rays, This will be hard to do, I haven't been further then work for nearly 2 years..😢..I don't know how I'll go...here.
Okay Psych..I...Yeah...hard..I am a huge dissapointment to myself..but then again that's me...I don't know what happened but turns out everything was my fault...it's my fault Psych cancelled my appoint in March..Its my fault she didn't ring me back.... my fault that my mhn,gp, and psychiatrist had to keep emailing her.
She lied to me, and after a few minutes I agreed with the lie and that it was all my fault because she was looking annoyed, upset and I didn't want to hurt her feelings....How pathetic, weak and just no words to describe how empty headed I am..... My Mind, thoughts, words are never mine..oh I was angry with my psych before I went to see her, I was going to speak my mind...yeah...I like always as soon as I hear a certain tone in a voice I run away and hide in that little space in my mind that's safe.
After 45 minutes of me listening to her talk about a different type of therapy, I agreed to fortnightly appointments, then got in my car and just kept driving, trying to get rid of that trapped in my brain feeling..I drove a couple of hours then stopped and rugged up..I keep blankets in my car in case I come across injured wildlife..and just sat there looking into the blackness, until I remembered my little dogs needed feeding...I got home around midnight and sat up crying until Deebi posted asking to talk to someone...We helped each other.
My hubby was right, he always was, I now believe him....he always said that I was useless at life and if he wasn't around I wouldn't survive because I'm to much of a coward, and how useless I am when I try to do things without him..How so right he was.
Hugs,
Grandy..

🤗 Grandy I'm not letting go of you ever!
You were there for me last night when I didn't think anyone would be. (And beautiful tweety (Birdy). I didn't do a thing for you but you were there when you're so down. When I am I run off into a coccoon and hide. Please don't believe bs that beasty and your husband said. They're wrong and bullies. Remember bullies are weak you're the strong one coming outta that life the person you are.
You're always there for me and others. Is that a worthless useless person. Someone with a heart of pure Gold that cares and loves.
I love you so much and don't want you hurting like this, you don't deserve it. You're such a beautiful wise kind caring deeply compassionate loyal loving great humored and fun friend. God where have you been all my life. I've had great friends and love but you, you're like my other 💑 SO encouraging and loving. You're another 💑
Grandy if you were so horrid and useless do you really think people would want to support you and love you. I've seen your heart, it shines Gold I swear.
Grandy if someone says something cruel or nasty about someone I like I hurt. If they do it about themselves..😢 you said you trust me so trust me that what I say and others here too is truth. You're SO worthy and so lovable.
He's the coward 😠😤!
Grandy your advice to me, read your last post. Blankets in case of injured wildlife. You were so down yet there for me. You don't want friction. You needed to feed doggies. Didnt want to hurt her feelings. Is that a bad useless person. Not in my books.
You again looked after me. I physically sighed relief when I saw you there.
Grandy 😢
Love you and always will be so grateful to you and beautiful people here like you. You need to too.
😚🤗💜 you are so precious. My wings are around you honey. Staying at yours.
I'll bring the 🍷 Tia you supply the stars Blanky & 🤝
Why's it your fault?
Oh didnt go either tonight
