First thing is first, I'm sorry I've not been around much. I'm trying to periodically read posts, like them, and comment. I want you all to know I'm still about, supporting you and quietly cheering you all on as you progress in your individual journeys. I've been even worse at actually creating posts. I've been [...]
Medication Update and Most Recent EMDR Session
So, you know how I've been pretty stable lately? I think that has been, in part, due to finding the right combination of medications. I talked to my insurance today (the new insurance since my last plan ran out) and there is a pretty good chance my Latuda won't even get covered because it isn't [...]
I am the architect of my own dreams
I acknowledge that... I am the architect of my own dreams. No one can build the edifice of my success, except for me. I am in charge of the blue prints and vision. Only I (and maybe a higher power) know the final product. I am the master crafts(wo)man of my own happiness. Only I [...]
An Ambien Stupor
Oh my goodness! Last night I took two ambien, instead of my usual one, because my brain wasn't cooperating. Let me tell you all about the things I have since discovered doing while in my stupor: 1) I ate all the cookies in the apartment 2) I ate half a bag of chips 3) I [...]
Dissociative Experiences Scale and My Latest EMDR Session
I had EMDR therapy yesterday. We are still doing a lot of preparing for the really difficult work. As a part of that K gave me a dissociative experiences scale to fill out. When I did it the first time I answered with the mentality of... none of this is me at all. That was [...]
New Developments in Group
So, I went to group last night, even though I've literally been sick about this whole thing. I'm glad I went though because things have taken an interesting turn. We all walk in and take our seats. Both J and L are there. First thing, L tells us that due to the concerns raised about [...]
What is Normal?
Yesterday in my Advanced Psychopathology class we revisited the idea of normalcy and abnormality in relation to mental health. The professor showed us this slide: And he assured us that all of us were "normal" because the department had viewed our applications to the program and we all got in, so nothing sent up any [...]
Group update
Just a short post to update those who are following the Wednesday night S.S. saga. I received a message from J this morning in response to my request to talk to her but not to talk any further with L. She said she "respects how hard this transition is for [me] and others" and that [...]
The more I keep thinking…
I stayed pretty busy today doing homework but unfortunately all of my homework had to do with the ethics of counseling, so it didn't help keep my mind off Wednesday. I know I am ruminating, and yet, here I am. It is problematic, I know, but it has led me to a new realization. Much [...]
General Update
My life lately has been in a constant state of fluctuation but I'm finally starting to feel like things are settling down. I figured in light of that I would write a general update post, you know one of the ones that is all nicely broken down into sections. I will bold the really important bits so [...]
