My Brain Hurts


I'm having one of those mornings. Just pegged out and now the r**n is threatening again. Need to pop to the Post Office but I've got to wait in for a parcel. The parcel is OH's new tent needed for the Grand Prix next weekend. Now in this house tents are a bit of a sore subject. Over the years we have bought sold and lost about 6 tents. From a tiny two man jobby up to an enormous trailer with beds up off the floor and a built in kitchen. The one that really irks is the lost one. It was nothing special [except come to think of it it was purple]. Daughter took it to Glastonbury and it came back filthy. Took it out to boyfriends' farm to hose it down and dry it. Somebody rang up, asked to borrow it and we remember going to the farm to collect it but none of us can remember who we loaned it to. Needless to say we never got it back and we don't know who to ask. Mass amnesia.


I am being referred for some Group Cognitive Therapy which could prove interesting. I had a nice long chat with a very nice Psychological Therapist yesterday and strangely there seems to be quite a lot of therapy on offer in this area. From one to one to group sessions and lots of choice. The only problem is that they are in Barnstaple so I'll have to be taken as I can't manage the bus by myself at the moment. It sounds so pathetic- can't manage the bus! Anyway let's hope that at last I can get to the bottom of this nonsense and move on. Fifteen years is a long time.


The poor garden has taken a bit of a battering but I'm not moaning as I know others have really suffered through this week.


We're busy at Pottery getting things finished for the end of term. It's the last session next week so all will have to be ready for it's final firing. This term has really flown by.


Today's piccie is my daughter's Springer in a very rare calm moment.

Do hope that the group therapy helps. It is very highly thought of.

THat is so strange. I was going to E-mail you 'direct' today as you hadn't blogged for a while and you had been on my mind! And here you are...

That does sound encouraging-like me, I think you do get to a stage and you will try anything to help. This new doctor
sounds like they have so new ideas on things and that should give you some hope.
It doesn't sound silly about the bus at all. Let's hope the therapy helps you.

I am meeting Elizabethm, Woozle, Bodran and SnailBeachShepherdess. I really trust those bloggers. I couldn't have done that even three months ago. You will get there, I am sure. Little steps remember...


I wondered how you were doing on the Citalopram and whether you had managed to stick with it after the sick/exhausted feeling it gives at first.

It is a shame you and a few of the others won't be there tomorrow...but maybe one day we will meet...

Take care Toady

warmest wishes
xx

Gosh - I do hope this group thing goes well - would be most interested in that.
You seem to be having more luck with the new doctor - as I am. I think sometimes our old one gets bored/disinterested if it is not straightforward. Anyway, a new broom and all that - works for me anyway. good luck - love mousie

Hi Toady, you are just like me, don't drive at the moment and don't like going on buses! What a pity we don't live near each other, we might manage the bus together!
The group therapy sounds good, I hope it works for you. xx

Just adding my good wishes to them all Toady - I hope it goes well. I'm sure it will.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. I'm wrestling with a few demons of my own at the moment but popped back to wish you well.
