Venturing out of the dark *TRIGGERS*

[Paula]

He's said about referring me to a psychiatrist of this doesn't work.

Finally, a doctor willing to offer you the extra help

[Jaquaia]

He referred me years ago when the first 5 lots of counselling and 2 meds didn't help. All I got was a phone assessment and more counselling offered.

[Suzi]

Maybe this time he'll try pushing a bit harder?

[Jaquaia]

I still think that any referral will be blocked by the CPN's and I'll be told I'm not ill enough yet again!

Struggling today. I feel like I'm swimming through treacle and everything is taking a huge effort.

[Suzi]

I'm swimming in treacle too love so I sympathise. I've got old crappy clothes on and fingerless mits..... I wish I could take your struggling away from you love. Are you seeing J at all this weekend? Is your mood linked to whether you are seeing him?

[Jaquaia]

He generally can't get away on a weekend. Seeing him Monday though. I don't think my mood is linked to him as I was struggling yesterday too, and Wednesday was tough. Those days were slightly easier though as he was there to hug me and I find that just his presence can calm me.

I bet you are really looking forward to Monday. It's funny, but my friend that I would meet regularly for coffee has met someone too. She is completely smitten and he seems to be good for her too. I met up with her last week, and she had a big smile on her face. She just couldn't stop smiling, and he can't do enough for her. There must be something in the air!!

[Jaquaia]

I really am, he's struggling too today so I think we both need it.

[magie06]

Monday won't be long coming round again. Just over 24 hours and it will be here. Watch strictly to take your mind off things for now.

[Jaquaia]

I never watch strictly, never have. I'm currently sat listening to the radio while I wrap Christmas presents and getting very agitated. Finding it very hard to sit still and I am very, very irritable
