Well spoke to mental health nurse (mhn) and have an appointment on monday afternoon to discuss the email i sent to the psychiatrist about our interaction...

I think i reported it objectively... she remembers it differently... so wants to discuss...

So we shall see.... she said Psych agreed with her that i am stuck...

not sure what that means... i see pdoc next tuesday... so we shall have something to discuss...

take care

Hey Cate,

Maybe you've been doing all this for a while and know more about it than me, but there are plenty of ways to get unstuck - different therapies, a combination of therapies, all kinds of options. I've found though that I've had to prompt my psych about some of these, and in doing so, she's gone and found new things as well.

So at the moment we've been doing just talk threapy with some CBT, but now she's asked me to do some art therapy, and she's gonna refer me to someone else for a few sessions of EMDR.

I wouldn't be too concerned about being stuck, as long as you're all focused on finding out what it may take to get you unstuck.

All the best with it. You're evidently a smart cookie and probably do have the resources to get unstuck with the right kind of help.

Cheers,

Hi Cate,

Good luck with your appoint on Monday afternoon - try to remember to be proactive not reactive during the discussion.

I can understand how much of a rut you feel like you're in at the moment and I hope you can soon get your head above sea level.

You look after yourself and do some nice things for yourself. It's all about nurturing. I find writing things helps, so it may help you to write down some things you want to discuss in the meeting before you go in there on Monday.

Just a suggestion.

All the best,

We all recall events differently. Be diplomatic and willing to listen to the mhn.

Have an honest discussion with your psychiatrist about what happened to cause the email and the revisit.

Perhaps you are stuck in a rut and not really sure how to get out of that rut/stuck feeling. That's what I think of when they say stuck - a rut. You would know what they mean by being stuck/in a rut.

Go Cate!!!
