You think my possible admission to RO Trauma program will be like a retreat? Seriously are you that f&*king stupid and insensitive?

I appreciate everyone's advice but it is not as simple as I am going to help a friend/relative or contact X if you have any questions. There is no one in the office that can act as my sub, I don't have anyone above me other than the board.

My T and P-doc and I are considering a readmission to RO this fall which would mean using three weeks of my vacation time. I don't have STD that would cover my time off from work so that is why I will have to use vacation time. I am trying to develop a plausible reason to tell my board, my...

Everyone is getting the drug this is considered to be a phase 3 level trial so they are looking for side effects and that type of thing as opposed to does it work or is it just the placebo effect

If I do the trail it will be free.

I go next week for the informed consent appointment. I have been offered a chance to participate in a clinical trial through the Mayo Clinic for the IV Ketamine infusions. Not sure when I would start as there is another appointment for the completion of a physical next but if it works out I...

Unfortunately @piratelady I don't have any advice for you. I understand why they and many patients believe that it is helpful I have a strict personal policy that prohibits conversations between treating providers. This isn't just mental health and medical I don't allow my P-doc to converse...

Today I decided that I would do some meal prep for the coming week for lunch and dinners. I have 5 meals prepared in the fridge, several other quick easy meals with grilled chicken strawberry salads, bacon lettuce & tomato lettuce wrap sandwich’s it kept me busy today while not want to think...

I have 16 qts of strawberries frozen. 1 1/2 pints of blueberries, 2 quarts of sweet cherries all prepped and in the freezer. I think it is time to turn on the other freezer so that I can move some of this out of my small freezer. I need space to freeze bananas, pineapples, peaches, plums more...

Sounds amazing hoping to do the jam and die filling this weekend ran out of time last weekend and froze the berries

@Muttly if you get the chance to jump on that trampoline again go for it even if it is wet. That was something that was actually rather fun when I was a kid jumping on a wet trampoline.

@J.D Smiles you didn't come off as blah, I get what you are saying it is just a real struggle for me especially as I get older.

The fresh produce is beginning to come in to season where I live particularly fresh fruits, berries and a whole host of other things. It has been a few years since I spent much time doing things that I enjoy and that can be healthy for me. Today, I cleaned and hulled 4 quarts of strawberries...

@HealingInProcess I know that and I have limited contact with my family of origin but I am not at a point where I am willing to give up contact with my kids and if I were to go no contact with my FOO I will lose them and nothing can replace them in my life.

@Muttly your post is not stupid and I am sorry you are feeling like this and have been all month. I completely understand the lure of self-harming and the knowledge that once you start you may not stop. I also understand about not going to the ER, is there something that you can do to get your...

Right there with so many others. Running for decades was my go to, started as a tween to escape a family and household that was abusive. Ten years ago I messed up my achilles on one leg and tore my ACL, meniscus and PCL on the other leg needless to say running no longer an options. Now I have...

Thanks @lostforgottensoul and @HealingInProcess I appreciate the support. I would have cut my family off but my kids are close to them and if push came to shove I think they would choose my family over me their mother. I could be wrong but it isn't something I am willing to risk.

@Smile the only psychiatric drug you are on is klonopin and other than over the counter meds you also take one opiate, what is your P-doc's reasoning for admission to a psych ward? Is he thinking you need to detox? I can assure you that I would jump up and down for joy if I was only on two...

It is a government job so the timeframe for finding out is very vague. I would like to know by September but I can't say for sure. I would like to believe that something will work out but I am as usual not to optimistic.

@wishforescape I have tried telesessions before and I don't like them there always seems to be a lag with the video, I don't feel like I can trust that they are alone because all you see is where the camera is facing. I understand that it can be helpful and if it were only going to be a couple...

For four years I felt safe and trusting/trusted with my therapist. Then 11 months ago my life turned upside down I had to relocate for work and it took me 6 months to find a therapist that I thought I could build safety and trust with (after two horrible attempts) so this new therapist and we...

In the US it is Father's Day tomorrow and I knew it meant the obligatory call to my dad which is like calling and talking to someone you have never met and know nothing about. So I thought I would make the call tonight. Well it went just like I figured but a whole lot worse. My niece turned...

currently Trintellix and Wellbutrin

Its all done and in the books. Board completed the final approvals on my major project and I can't believe how relieved I am.

TSA is required to randomly pull individuals out for additional screening there really isn’t much that can be done in that case. I completely understand how awful and violating it can feel
