Hi @BlueBay,
It is so nice to hear you sounding so positive. It sounds like you have a super supportive team around you now, who you trust. I imagine that getting some of those physical issues sorted out like the thyroid and iron will super help. I have both of those issues too and getting them sorted out helped me to feel much less tired.
I hope you have a super nice holiday next week.

hi @BlueBay
so good to hear from you. it does sound like your on the right track now. youve made quite a few changes and for the better which is fantastic.
your new gp and psych sound really supportive of you which is fantastic and to know you have future plans in place to continue getting better is fantastic. well done for getting the support you need and deserve. big hugs to you
i hope you enjoy your holiday as well, might be a nice change for you and a refresher.
getting all your health problems sorted is also very good as well and the fact youve been able to break down what you need to work on is also great and maybe doesnt sound so daunting for you to work through now
i havent got any experience in the intimacy department so im no help there but all the best with that, and maybe this year will start to pick up and be your year for improvements in every aspect of your life and relationships

Hi @BlueBay
It's good to see you for a short while before you fly up to the Gold Coast - and you have been doing a lot of hard work and it seems to be going well as much as you have been through the shreader - wow - what a three week stint is that
Intimacy - I hate to say this but I think I have forgotten - I suggest that you place no expectations on what might or might not happen - sometimes a long hug can be enough - neither of you should push yourselves - it's been a while
And how great that the therapist has broken down the issues into three sub-sets - it makes sense that way
Now take your holiday - and your anniversary - and enjoy yourselves without pushing things - I have never been to the Gold Coast - I am not sure if that would ever be on my short list - but I want you to enjoy it -
And before we know it you will be back - for me - out in the world I deal with your three weeks has gone past so fast - but not for you I am sure
All the best - and whatever happens in private - take it easy - and - oh yes - I thing I can suggest is a lubricant - after a period of abstinance it can get a bit dry there - and that is normal - hormonal changes cause that as does our age -
I have been thinking about you - but I also think that when you are in hospital sorting things out and have two therapists and your GP working with you - a break from the Forum is probably a good idea
Lots of hugs
