First psychologist visit

Hey everyone not sure if anyone is interested or not but i had my first appointment with my psychologist. I was mainly talking about my feelings, symptoms and my past. It was great that my sister could look after my daughter as she doesnt go to childcare in thursdays. Unfortunetly she wont be able to look after her in 2 weeks time which is when i have my next appointment. And its going to be about meditation so the psyc said it would be great if i was on my own to do the meditation but doesnt look like i will be so he said still come even if i have my daughter ill just have to do the exercises at home which is less effective but oh well what can i do?? Also my doctor was able to push up my apoointment with my psychiatrist to the 18th aug instead of waiting tiill next month which is good and my daughter is in childcare that day so works outs well. Only thing is the appt is at 3pm and i need to be back to pick my daughter up by 5.30pm . Im sure it will be fine. Well thats it for now. Got some exercises i need to do at home to get rid of that horrible anxiety/too much adrenaline feeling and thats doing somethin high intensity it can be running on a spot anything for 2 min for 5 times a day. He thinks this should help with the anxiety. Hope everyone has a good day. Take care x

Well ive just had my second pschologist visit but it was hard to stick to the schedule as i had my daughter with me. We were meant to have a relaxation session with meditation etc but wasnt able to so i have a cd i was given and going to give that a go tonite. We also talked about a whole lot of other things such as my hoarding and cleaning issues etc. I see him again in 2 weeks but it will be a different day so i wont have my daughter with me it just means i need to travel more to get to the clinic cos previously he has come closer to me but the days don't work out cos then my daughter misses out on her thurs morning therapy so gonna change that up. Well thats the update for now. Also saw the psychiatrist on monday and ive been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and dysthymia which is a type of depression. So my doc will take over from now on. Hope your having a good day. Take care x
