Hi All,
Really sorry if this is wrong of me but needed to talk to someone. Saw my psyc today, not been coping too well, been having psychological therapy and its bringing up all sorts of past trauma's that I'm not coping too well with. Hence having flash backs again and shell we say unhelpful negative thoughts.
Don't want to give up on the therapy, as after 12 years I feel it's my only option now to be able to move forward, but struggling.
Psyc has increased my anti-psychotic to see if that helps. Going to talk to my Community nurse whom I haven't seen in four months and was going to discharge me last October/November. Psyc muttered again about having ECT which I refused. He's also removing my driving licence which was a bit of a shock as I've not driven in two years as my car died beyond repair and I can't afford another one, but I guess he's just being cautious given how I'm feeling.
Two weeks ago GP reduced my metformin by half as I've been having bowel problems but he didn't want to stop it all together as it can help weight loss. Not taking it for two weeks altogether didn't help improve things so GP has now refered me to surgeons as my Dad died from bowel cancer, don't think I have anything exciting as feel fine, but GP just being thorough, so trying not to worry about it. But I guess it's just adding to everything else.
More concerned about what's happening psychologically as that's more prominent and immenent as it were. Basically not coping with any of it at the moment and feeling like I'm going down hill rapidly.
Sorry this is such a long post but I needed to tell someone what was happening.
Thanks for listening
