Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

That is very different to how our course is run @Snowie - we have Core Mindfulness as a separate module and have a group and then pdoc session - I would say that would be much the same as your psychologist session. However it is done I hope you get a lot out of it - and I hope those stronger personalities can be better handled to allow you to feel more comfortable. It took me until the second module to actually talk and I know from what my pdoc has said that that is not unusual - it can be very overwhelming to begin with.

I better get myself moving - I don't actually feel like going to the pool today but I know I need to make myself - so I will catch up with you when I come home later Heart

Re: Am Not Coping

Good afternoon (as it is now) ..... 👋💕

i worked late again - mr. is away so I took over his desk (shhhh) with artwork, no less ..... so slept in, and just made it to the walking tour on time.

Glad you’re getting to the pool today @Zoe7 ..... it will be worth it in the long run.

Made it to the pool @Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @CheerBear @outlander

I didn't enjoy it as much as usual today - I was very tired but did make it twice through my exercises so although I lacked energy to do any extra I will still call that a win.

The physio commented that although I was tired I looked much better than when she met me a couple of months ago  - that is encouraging. We often don't think there has been any changes but it is nice to hear that someone else can see some Smiley Very Happy

Re: Am Not Coping

@Owlunar It is colder today than it has been for a few days and the water was not as warm as usual but still warm enough to get through the exercises ok. I floated around for a little while at the end but wasn't enjoying it as much so got out.

Tomorrow DBT is more of a revision session before the next module begins next week - it is optional but I don't have to pay for my odoc if I go - that is the main reason I am going ...plus keeping in the routine as well.

I have been reading all about your trip - it sounds wonderful - I hope it all turns out well for you and you have a great time when you go.

Re: Am Not Coping

Woohoo for your win today @Zoe7 and for noticeable positive changes for you. Go you 😊

Re: Am Not Coping

It is nice to hear that others can see changes @CheerBear re-inforces that we are on the right track - I also know there is still a long way to go but at least we are making steps forward.

Re: Am Not Coping

Agree @Zoe7. Great job 💗🤗🎉

Re: Am Not Coping

Well done @Zoe7 .... it’s often the incremental changes that we don’t notice ourselves, but others do.

Re: Am Not Coping

hello @Faith-and-Hope @CheerBear @Snowie Heart

thats great!! positive re-inforcements 🙂 @Zoe7

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope @CheerBear @outlander Next step is going to see the Principal again - I am planning on doing that next Tuesday - that will be a big thing for me so I will do it before the pool - that way Im have something to look forward to and a time frame to do it all in.
