@Birdofparadise8 I'm glad your pdoc visit went well. More meds, lol, I know that feeling! 

One of my closest friends lives in the US and I've only met her once when I was in the States many years ago. I don't believe these days you necessarily have to meet in person. Although I'd love to be able to chat via email I know that anonymity is very important on the forums. 

I'll message later when I have more time, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you 💙 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I know lol. I was hoping to go and decrease some, but no, lol. 

Ah, okay, that's interesting. 

Yeah, email would be good. It would make it easier.

All good. Do you reply on your phone when you get a break? @ENKELI 

I'm very nervous to see my psych. I'm sitting in the library now and I've got 90 min. I need to keep my anxiety at bay so I can study, but it's not going the best. I am trying to do some deep breathing and I've got some music on.

@Birdofparadise8 you'll probably get this after your visit, I'm hoping you were able to resolve your hurt feelings and can move on with your healing xx

It's pretty laid back at my work, so long as the work gets done I'm able to check my phone. 

You asked what religion I am, I'm Christian. I was brought up Protestant and am considered "born again".

Be back later hon xx💐👑🥰💙

[Birdofparadise8]

Yes, we did, so that was good. There was lots to talk about, so that's good. 

That's good to hear @ENKELI 

I have no clue what you mean. Sorry, other than Christian. Do you go to Church much?

I am Catholic. 

[ENKELI]

@Birdofparadise8 are you feeling better after your session?

I'm a Christian who believes in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as mentioned in the New Testament. Faith healing, prophecy and speaking in tongues. A lot of traditional churches don't follow the same things. My mum goes to a Uniting Church where they sing hymns and such. At my church we sing a lot of songs from Hillsong for example. 

We don't go to confession like Catholics or worship Mary. Our belief is that we confess directly to Jesus and not a priest. 

I used to go to church every week but because ex friend goes to the same church I no longer feel comfortable there. I've been trying to find another church to go to.

What are you up to this evening?

[Birdofparadise8]

I'm alright after, I guess. He never said sorry today, actually, which I thought was odd, but oh well. I need to move on, I suppose. 

Ah, okay, cool. I don't do confession. The last time I went to church was Granny's funeral. 

Not much. I've dinner and need to clean up. 

One of my new meds costs $65, and I have to submit it to private health to get my money back. It's a non-PBS, which sucks. 

What are you doing tonight?

I'm sorry I was needy yesterday @ENKELI 

Was the rest of your day okay?

Hi @Birdofparadise8

[ENKELI]

@Birdofparadise8 did you think you were needy yesterday? I didn't think so. I felt that you were in emotional distress and wanted comforting. I don't consider that being needy. 

It's probably a good idea to move on, or at least take steps to do so. This is something I am not good at! I tend to dwell on things too much, going over and over. It really is counter productive and while I have got great advice on how to get over it, I often don't take my own advice!

I have a few books on healing that are faith based so I do a lot of praying and spending time with God. That of course is not for everyone.

Is there anything I can do to help my princess? 👸💐👑💙🫂

Hi @ArraDreaming 

Hi @ENKELI, 

I'm not sure. Okay, thank you. 

Yes, well, I'm not good at that either. 

Okay, I hope you enjoy it. 

It's okay. I've taken the new sleep med, which is not as strong, and I'm feeling its effect, but I still need to wash up, lol. 

I'll be around for a little longer and then go to bed.
