Re: I can’t cope

I think I’d feel like that too @tyme. When I was first given medication the Pdoc emailed the scripts to the chemist and I wasn’t allowed them. Every change was the same. I was only allowed to order them not have the physical scripts. Now as I get a script I just hand it to them and tell them to keep it. I find it much easier to go on the app and order what I need as I’m sorting out my meds for the week. 

It is hard to remember what to take and how many. I have to really concentrate to put them in my pill organiser for the week. I take each box out one at a time and when I have done those ones I put them to the side until all of them are done and then throw them back in the basket. 

If you still mess up maybe it isn’t wise to have to think about it! 😂. I guess getting it delivered is so much easier. I have thought about it in my really tough times but it’s hard with my roster as I can’t do weekly or fortnightly but that is still too many anyway and I can do enough damage. My psych asks me all the time whether I have a stockpile and my answer is always yes as I just have so many different ones that I take that means there is a lot here. 

Re: I can’t cope

Yeah, the delivery part makes it hheapppppps easier. I wouldn't bother otherwise. Sometimes I feel bad because I'm not an invalid, and I CAN go and get it... but then again, if the service it there., just take it.

 

Anyway, I have to wrap up so I have time to finish some other stuff off. Thanks for the company tonight. Please take care and rest up @Captain24 

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks for tonight @tyme 

 

Ive enjoyed learning more about you

Re: I can’t cope

It does make sense - it's a very 'Aussie' way of being, isn't it? @Captain24 

What kind of work do you imagine could be more supportive? 

I get the sense you're very good at your job, but can become hard on yourself when you're not at your best?

YAY for medication that works. 🥹

Family trips can be tricky like that... what can you do to care for yourself if there are some challenges while you're away?

HAHAH that is so fair. It was very vibey music, not too chaotic. 

I am completing a grad cert in counselling so I can do my masters in psychotherapy!

Re: I can’t cope

At this stage the mine only has 7-10 years of life left. So I’ll just stick it out, plus no where else pays the same and I have to think of my mortgage. @AuntGlow 

 

I am very critical of myself but then when others say if it makes me ‘know’ that I’m really useless. 

I needed my meds today. The trip here was horrible. We had so much road works that we had to sit at red lights for. Pix gets really bad carsickness and it took us an hour and 45 minutes to the first stop which is an hour and 20 away! Then more road works before the next stop and then heaps of traffic at the bridge we cross. Never seen traffic like it there before. But I’m really proud of Pix she made it the whole way including it taking us well over an hour extra without being sick! 

Challenges will be interesting. I’m minding setting my focus on the beach and the me time. But it is supposed to be raining all day tomorrow so maybe I won’t get my beach time. I do need to find something to do though. It’s hard to go off on my own though as they think we should all be together and then they make me feel guilty if I go somewhere without them. They guilt trip and belittle me A LOT. But they are my parents so I just have to do as I’m told. 

Your username makes me think you are older and I forget that when you say stuff, like the electronic music festival, that you are really young. 

That sounds good. I hope it easy enough for you. What exactly is psychotherapy? Is that the same as a psychologist?

Re: I can’t cope

Ahhh look at that cutie @Captain24! What a happy dog on the beach 

Re: I can’t cope

It’s her happy place @Ru-bee 

Re: I can’t cope

Isn't it just the best seeing your pets happy @Captain24 It always makes me to happy when I take Toby to the off-lead park where he can run and be all silly

Re: I can’t cope

It is good. She just smiled the whole time @Ru-bee 

 

Jett actually walked in the water which was a surprise but tomorrow I’m taking his lead that’s 15 metres long so he can run wild with mums dog. 

Thanks for responding to me. I appreciate it.
