Oh no @Birdofparadise8 I am so sorry that she was so dismissive about your eating. It is really good that she knows how to help with your depression, but it is hurtful when she is dismissive about your eating and rather is trying to tell you that you need to eat etc. That can be extremely triggering, I'm sorry that happened.
That sounds really lovely to go for a bike ride, I hope it's nice weather for you today.
I haven't been up to much! Just working and trying to relax a bit. I have to take my dad for surgery tomorrow so I've taken the day off to look after him 🙂

It really does suck @amber22
She was only trying her best, but it felt weird. I don't talk to her again until the 16th, and I'm not sure if I should mention it or not. It's just such a hard area and with her not knowing much, I don't know what to do.
Yeah I hope so too. If I've done both of those I would like to finally see the barbie movie. It might cheer me up maybe.
I hope your day is okay.

Hmm maybe it would be helpful to let her know how you feel about it, and that it is a very sensitive subject for you @Birdofparadise8 That way she might be able to reflect a bit more on how to handle it in a different way next time.
Oh you should definitely go see the Barbie movie! I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it was so good!
Thank you 🙂

Yeah I guess so. I'm just trying to wrap my head around it all myself @amber22
It's on at 1 and 4 pm so I'll see what time I get everything done.
I see my psych tomorrow so I might talk about it with her and see what she thinks.

Oh that sounds good! See how you go, it would be nice to see it if you have the time and get everything you need to done @Birdofparadise8
Good idea, maybe bring it up with your psych and see what she thinks

Yeah I will. I was supposed to go to a uni class this morning but I just didn't have to motivation to go. They are probably just working on the assignment I have already done anyway @amber22.
She was nice about it when I told her last week. The only thing I finish with her soon as well. I need to find a new one.

That's okay, especially if you didn't feel up to it, it's good to listen to what you and your body needs @Birdofparadise8
How is the search going for a new psych btw?

It's alright, I guess. It's just so expensive @amber22
I've found a couple, but I'm not sure. I hope the wait times aren't too long. I only have three sessions left, including tomorrow.

Ah yes, it is definitely expensive @Birdofparadise8 I feel that!
That's okay, hopefully you can find one soon and I hope that the wait times aren't too long. I remember you had emailed one to find out last time we spoke, did that one look promising at all?

They haven't got back to me yet @amber22 so I don't know.
