A BIG THANK YOU
hello to everyone on this thread
I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help.
I had my appointment with the psychologist this afternoon and it was extremely helpful. Only a few tears too - which I was surprised with as I am a crier.
I took the time to explain my feelings, behaviours and actions to my situation and then discussed why I felt like this and tools, tips and tricks to help with any future anxiety/panic attacks.
It reinforced that:
-i am a person who takes accountability for my actions (there’s been a few instances where I have not been proud and I owned it and am working through it and making amends for this)
- I am self aware and that I do realise the impact I have on people
- that I am kind and happy (most of the time)
- that my increasing anxiety and somewhat uncharacteristic behaviour has come through stress, trauma and hormone changes
- that i have experienced a very turbulent few months and that I need to learn to forgive myself
- that I can control me and my behaviour
- that I am in limbo but having hope and coupled with pushing forward my healing can be achieved simultaneously- it’s not black and white. There is some grey.
- I spoke about my BB family and how I have listened, read (with voracious intent!) the experiences of others and that I have a community of wonderful people who understand
- I am practicing breathing and mindfulness and that this is something she was happy with!
- improvement area: sleep hygiene and to create an action plan so if I feel like I will do something erratic to distract myself and thoughts.
I took advice from you and I have been writing my feelings down and letting this out.
I have another appointment on 2 weeks and I am proud of booking this in.
Thank you to each and everyone of you. You are my angels and guides in this journey.
