TW: Chat - Vent
Hey,
I've had a session with my psych today. It was definitely interesting, but it was not what I thought we were going to discuss.
I have an appointment with my psychiatrist at 4 pm.
Fun day of appointments lol. I planted a rhubarb crown and some strawberry seeds before I left, so I look forward to them growing soon.
I'm not feeling that great. Would anyone be around for a chat?
I'm safe after the appointment, so I will go home and cook dinner. I'm not sure what to cook yet.
I'll call KHL if necessary. I'm sorry if I'm being annoying or needy.
Yeah it taken a while, but the preparations and wrapping of the dumplings taken the whole day and previous night.
Maybe you felt a bit down due to the weather, as it is rainy season right now?
Gosh, I hope they are yummy while taking that long.
Mmm, maybe. I'm always depressed, but I guess it could be making it worse.
I just want to get better and feel I'm still going around in circles. I just want to be happy, have friends, and not feel lonely, but I have none of that. Even the football didn't make me happy today. I'm sorry now I'm unloading on you.
Mhm very yummy,but it will take us some time to finish it all.
Nah it's all good. While I'm not sure to the specific reason why you feel that you are going in a circle. Don't worry, things are going to get better in the end. If you feel that your symptoms are getting worse, you might want to go to your local gp to get a referral or to make a plan in case.
I have been pretty much constantly depressed for a few years, but I guess I've had times when it's worse than others. I don't think I've had clear depressive episodes. It's bad and very bad, I suppose.
I have a psychologist I see weekly, so I will let him know on Wednesday.
That's good you will let your psychologist know about it. And be sure to keep yourself safe and to get enough rest!
Yeah, probably so. I'm going to do my dailies on Genshin and ZZZ and then work on my thesis.
Anyways, have a good night! And it was great talking to you!
Mhm! It tasted pretty good, sadly some of the seasoning had been lost in the water when boiling it.
Well the thesis I'm writing as of currently is for honours. And it focuses on micro transactions and gacha games.
Also be sure to rest after footy!
Hi @Red_Flamingo ! I'm around at the moment if you'd like to chat 🥰
Hi,
How are you?
That would be great. I'm feeling a bit down today. However, I had an appointment with Outreach. It was part of the hospital when I was there last year. They come to you, and you can chat about things. The lady I have is an RN. She was nice. She talked a lot about irrelevant things, but it was just the first one and doing all the paperwork.
The brunch I was going to go to on Sunday has been cancelled, so that sucks a bit.
I am going to cook the Boston baked beans tonight. I had leftover pasta last night so that was lucky. I totslty forgot about it.
@Red_Flamingo Sorry to hear that you're feeling down, that sucks 💜
I'm feeling a little down too! I have covid right now so my week hasn't been great. This is my second time with covid and i'm actually pretty unwell and feeling horrible ðŸ˜. But it's nice to hop on here and chat to people to distract myself a bit!!
It's awesome that you had an Outreach appt today, and that the RN was nice!! I work with a couple RN's and I genuinely think that lots of RN's are just such lovely people. I'm not super familiar with the system but will you get to chat to someone else next time or will it be the same person?
It sucks that your brunch has been cancelled, I hate when things i'm looking forward to get cancelled it really puts a downer on my mood. Your dinner sounds delicious though! Ive never heard of Boston baked beans, are they much different from regular baked beans?
Thank you.
Oh no, I'm sorry you have covid. Do you know how you got it? I do hope you have a speedy recovery. Have you been watching lots of TV?
Yeah, it's a private hospital, so I will see the same lady each time unless she is sick or away. I couldn't get any help through the public mental health system.
Yes, it does. I was looking forward to it. Yes, it will be yummy. Here is the recipe; you can take a look.
I have no idea how I got covid, which is annoying, but at least all of the people I live with seem to be symptom-free, which makes me feel much better! I've been binge watching Friends while i've been sick, which has been making me feel much better! I think ive watched multiple whole seasons over the last week 😂
It's so good that you'll get to consistently see the same person through the private system! I think its really nice when you can kind of build an ongoing connection with one person 💜
The boston baked beans look incredible!! Thankyou so much for linking!! I'll have to try making those too! Are you planning on having it with crusty bread or something? I feel like that would be delicious!!
That's lucky no one else is sick. That sounds good.
Have we ever talked about Grey's anatomy recently? If not, I recommend it while you are sick.
Yes, it will be good. Yes, I bought a loaf of sourdough to go with it.
What are you having for dinner?
Yes I love Grey's Anatomyyy!! Ive actually been meaning to do a rewatch for the last year or so and then havent gotten around to it. I only ever watch until around season 12 or 13 usually because after that I feel like the original cast is just completely gone 😂
Sourdough sounds like a great choice!! It's super rainy weather for me at the moment too, which sounds perfect for something warm with nice bread!! I'm not sure what I'm going to have for dinner yet. I do have leftover spag bol from last night though so that's definitely a contender!
Yes, I do feel that the show has changed a bit without the original cast.
Yes, it was very yummy. Yum, that is one of my favourites as well.
Do you have any plans for tonight or just TV?
Grey's Anatomy is definitely a big comfort show for me!!
So glad your dinner was nice!! Do you have any leftovers? I love when I cook something delicious and then get to eat it the next day as well. Sometimes I even freeze leftovers to have for work lunches mid-week so I can continue to enjoy whatever I've made 🙂
No plans for me, I think I'm just going to take it easy and settle in with a book and a cup of tea tonight! What about you?
It's my comfort show as well.
Yes, I got some for dinner tomorrow, so that's good.
What book are you reading? I'm reading The First to Die by James Patterson.
I am watching Grey's Anatomy, lol. I have also been watching Emergency AU, which is good to see a real doctor show.
Hi @Red_Flamingo !! I'm having a pretty quiet day today, i'm just trying to get a few things organised before I start back at uni on Monday - you know just working out when deadlines are and anything I need to do to prepare!
What about you, what are you up to today and how are you feeling?
Also where are you up to in Grey's Anatomy at the moment and who is your favourite character? Lol I can imagine Emergency AU would be heaps different to watching Grey's 😂
That sounds like a good plan. I start on the 29th, so I will be doing that next week. I am trying to get some printouts put into a folder.
Mentally, I'm feeling quite flat, which sucks. I'm safe, though. I'm watching Emergency AU at the moment.
I am up to season 10. I have watched through to the most recent season.
Enjoy your last week of the break!!! It's definitely good to get printouts and everything sorted out beforehand and makes the transition into the new semester heaps easier in my opinion.
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling pretty down at the moment but glad that you're safe and keeping yourself busy. I also wanted to say @Red_Flamingo how much I admire you for chatting and being vulnerable on this platform. Mental health can be really tough and I think it sounds like you're doing a great job at trying and doing different things to keep yourself moving and distracted 💛
From memory season 10 is really good, I remember loving it. I don't completely remember but I think the season finale wrecked me though... ðŸ˜
How's your day going today?
