I wish I were still 8.
The doctor from the health clinic, the one who put ACIS onto me- or me onto ACIS- called me yesterday. From her home. On her own personal number. To see how I was doing.
I. Uh. I don't know how to take that. But it's probably time to let my defenses down a little, and stop pretending that I resent her for trying to help me.
Lesson #1- learn to accept what help is offered to me.
I am not made of steel. I am not 10 foot tall and bullet-proof.
Half my mind is saying; Naah, you're fine, nothing's wrong and you're coping. The other half says; You're struggling and you need help. I can't tell which is lying. Honestly, I don't know.
I might go see my Dr. Not necessarily 'cause I need to (although I should get vaccinations sorted about now). But mostly just cause he's always good for a chat.

wise mind is saying it is ok to ask for help and accept it when it is offered... ACIS team are dedicated... and you are worth worrying about... so be gentle on yourself..

and sometimes I wish i was 12 again... i felt like there were choices then... anyway 8 or 12 we are not and no use wishing otherwise...

enjoy your chat with your Doc... regardless of vaccinations...

take care
