Re: Safe Now

Omg yes @Oaktree I love it!! Love silly little games like that, played one recently called '5-Minute Dungeon' where you have 5 minutes to beat all these bosses by playing your cards well - was especially great for my nephew, cos he struggles with competing against others so playing a collaborative game was super fun!

 

Ach, I've been craving some silly!! Might have to organise a board games night or something. Wish we could play on forums.... Hmmm @tyme food for thought? Hehehe

@Jynx 

 

I think we have talked about playing games on the forums before 

Re: Safe Now

It's great to here you've been having a good time @Oaktree sounds like it's been a good break from real life.

I will have to look into this Muffin Time

Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment with my psychologist. I haven’t seen her for 2 weeks. Last week I was busy with other things that kept me distracted. I am a bit worried about how I’ll be after my appointment 

Re: Safe Now

Do you get a bit anxious or nervous prior to appointment @Oaktree or are you concerned about after the session. That talking about things in the session will bring up feelings that might be difficult to deal with when the session is over?

Do you have some go to techniques? Like grounding with five senses.

Do you prefer to be by yourself or around other people?

Do you find physical things helpful like going for a walk

Re: Safe Now

Fingers crossed for you that your appointment goes well @Oaktree 

Re: Safe Now

@Oaktree not many words at the moment 

 

Sending you good thoughts

Yes Till I am worried that I will be thinking about stuff that comes up in the appointment afterwards. I did write down some distress tolerance skills including the 5 senses grounding technique. Just have to remember to use them when I need them. 

Thanks for your replies guys. I appreciate it.

Re: Safe Now

I’m glad you’ve got some techniques ready @Oaktree 

Hope the appointment goes as well as it can and you’ve got some things to do afterwards to help you settle
