I hear you @Snowie. It's tough to invest emotionally when there's an endpoint looming.
But I believe that sometimes, valuable insights and support can be found even in short-term connections. Do you think it might be helpful to acknowledge it for what it is bringing to you right now, even though it'll end shortly?
Also, I was wondering if you get 12 sessions every year or just once.
@Snowie I slept better last night than the night before. I did sweat a lot, that’s just part of the package when you’re sick.
Sorry to hear about how it’s not clicking with your SW. Do you have a say in who your SW is? Sometimes they do give you the option to have someone else if it’s not clicking
Hi @lavenderhaze how are you? I’m doing better today, still sick. I’ve just been resting up. Took sick leave from placement
They approved them after I had an inpatient stay. It's the first time that I've had them after a hospital admission. I never knew that they offered them and that I could get approved for them.
I'm scared of getting attached. He hasn't exactly been reliable or followed through on his comments, so I guess I am just weary of that.
Anyway, have taken some prn, so hoping that helps this afternoon.
@Snowie it is hard when sessions are limited. That’s one of the unfortunate things about services. I find services where you are allocated a support to be a hit or miss. Don’t get me wrong, some people are amazing and you gel well, but it feels like a lucky draw It’s not like private psychs and pdoc where you can choose. Sometimes you need that extra support too that your private supports can’t provide
