Hello Quootie - thought we should start a new thread.

Will be thinking about you tonight. Hope you can get some rest. Could you try having a bath or something? Can really help me to un-wind.

Hi Quootie

QuootiepieTheHogmanayAss · 02/01/2007 02:01

idontlikecrusts · 02/01/2007 02:02

So who you got lined up tot talk to before lunch then?!

QuootiepieTheHogmanayAss · 02/01/2007 02:04

Don't know... all I know is she is a duty officer? So im guessing a glorified pyschiatric nurse...

idontlikecrusts · 02/01/2007 02:08

At a CMHT or mental Health Ward?

Good if so! pleased for you!

fortyplus · 02/01/2007 02:11

Quootie - I'm just off to bed - was up till 3 last night at party so don't know why i'm not tired tonight!
But thinking of you - good luck & hope 2007 turns out to be a good year for you & you can turn your life around.

Quootiepie · 02/01/2007 02:15

Hey, Q - I really am off to bed now, but if you want a smile take a look at 'do I know if I'm having bad sex - it's near the top of active convos

Quootie - got home yesterday and back to the computer ( finally!). Just wanted to say that I hope your appt goes well today and they can start to help you. xxx.

Hiya, back now. That was really hard! She is referring me for PTSD treatment, but, says the waiting list will likely be months and that's just for the initial assesment. Also, in the meantime theres 6 evening sessions to manage anxiety, im giving that a go. Also she meantioned medication short term, so she's writing a letter to GP. At least she agrees with everything the A & E liason guy said.

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 02/01/2007 12:58

that's promising, isn't it? i wonder if having the beginnings of a diagnosis will help you to manage the panic attacks etc? because now at least you know that they are a symptom of PTSD, and that you will be getting help with them.
well done for not copping out and telling them that everything was hunky-dory. [proud of quootie emoticon]

Quootiepie · 02/01/2007 13:00

I broke down a few times, its very hard to talk about certain things, I nearly left them out again...

Shes doing a home visit on 25th Jan, I know it's because its the 2 year anniversary... she was nice

you only need to take baby steps, quootie, but it sounds good so far. if she's nice that is a huge part of the battle. well done. and agree with mellowma that a list is a good idea. let's knock one up in time for the 25th if you haven't done so already.
