I missed lecture this morning. Couldn't get out of bed. Showered dad and fed him breakfast. He is sleeping now. I tried leaving comments to a couple of diaries - couldn't do all, very tired. I didn't get much sleep. Was tossing around a lot. My whole body aches.

I have another lecture at one and then work and then tennis. I hope its fun - I have no idea how to play but I am going to give it a go anyway.

I can sleep in tomorrow - so glad. I have no uni. Only have work for five hours, which isn't too bad compared to what I had to do on Monday and Tuesday.

I have appointment with my psychologist on Friday. I really don't want to go but I don't want to disaapoint her. It's just going to be another session about me loosing weight, staying on top of studies and working on realationship with mum. It's the same thing every session with her. I feel like I need to get another psyschologist but I feel bad. My current one is trying her best to help me - I know she is. Sigh. I don't know wht to do. Well I do but I am scared.

Still haven't gotten paid. Going to ask boss today. I really need the money for uni.

I am going to sleep with dad for a bit.

Take care everyone.

I'm sure your psychologist is doing her best to help you, but the nature of therapy is that sometimes what works for one person just won't work for the next. If she is worth her salt as a psychologist she will realise this and won't take it personally. I hope you enjoy tennis, and that you get some sleep tonight. Hugs

Hey Dove,

Babz is right, your psychologist should understand if she can tell she is not making any headway with you. If she can't then maybe she isn't worth going to anyway. You are entitled to a 2nd opinion and like i suggested before, maybe a psychiatrist may be better to work through your problems.

Your boss can't expect you to work and not get paid, this is very unfair of him.

Enjoy the tennis, hope it is fun, if nothing else it will take your mind off other things for just a little while.

Take care Dove, and try to sleep in tomorrow.

Firstly, glad I didn't upset you with my diary comments.

Secondly, your psychologist should be trying to work with your psychiatrist (pickled brain here - can't remember if you have one or not) and using CBT techniques to help you get better. If you need to raise the matter with her and I am sure she will be glad you did - you both need to be benefiting from the treatment/sessions and going over the same topics from my view isn't helping you.

Thirdly, you are entitled to see as many specialists - psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors as you need so if you think you need to, get a second opinion. Perhaps your current psychologist has done as much as she can for you.

Glad you spent time with dad. You need to sort out the sleep problem. Hope you had fun at tennis.

Keep on the boss about the money you are owed.

Go WD!!!
