Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
Hi @Sans911 and everyone @Snowie@Shaz51@outlander@Zoe7
I’ve been missing you @Sans911. I haven’t perceived anything you’ve written as “complaining” - that’s my role! Please stay involved (I was a bit concerned when we hadn’t heard from you). What was the support group like? How did your psych appointment go (re a claim if I recall correctly). Thanks again @Shaz51 & @Zoe7 for your thoughtful response & lived experience re my overthinking query. Is Mr Shaz a little better this evening in any way? @Zoe7 did you unpack your car this arvo?

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
My psychologist appt for the dsp was last Thursday. It was much shorter than expected, and I didn't say a lot, as they have a heap of documents on my history anyway. I won't know the outcome for a few more weeks yet. Nothing was given away at the meeting.
The support group is very interesting in terms of the facilitators and the group dynamics. But we are learning about ourselves and each other. I wish I could say what it's about but it's a pilot project, so it would give it and me away. Are you doing OK @Sam3

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
Thanks for all that info @Sans911. I’m really glad you’re finding the ‘secret’ 🤐support group interesting & maybe you’ll gain some longer-term benefits. 🤞Fingers crossed for a positive outcome re the DSP (if that’s what you want). I’m guessing there are no developments with the 8 hour shift possibility as yet?
Thanks for asking after me. I’ve had a nasty headache most of my day at work but I got through. GP appointment was ok (apart from being teary through it & again with the poor phlebotomist). So I started the medication for hypothyroidism tonight (choosing to only glance at the long list of possible sideffects!). I also submitted a couple of job applications before work. Despite fatigue & my husband kindly suggesting otherwise, I cooked dinner.... so all in all a productive day. A few residents praised me (not ones with dementia although they are often appreciative too) so that was positive. I don’t really want to tell the residents I’ve been made redundant until my last few days when I foolishly hope I can tell them I have another job. They’ve known me for nearly 10 months. What do you think about when to announce my departure at end of next week?

Re: The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing
I'm sorry lil Sis @outlander that I went a little MIA on you. I justed needed some shut down time. It didn't do my any good though. I slept most of yesterday, and feel no better for it.
How are you doing tonight?
